    Kid Ortiz has accomplished so much more in his short time and targeting Craw.

    Bootsie need a major promoter/name makeover. Boots who???
    Kid Ortiz is already tested with only 19 fights on his record.

    Ennis got 30 fights and not a single fight has any meaning.

      So what's the verdict here, is Ennis going to sit it out for the rest of the year?

        His activity should be condoned, but the level of opposition should not.

        -Thomas Dulorme before facing boots already took a major toll by going to the whole distance against Jamal James and Eimantas Stationis getting heavily damaged going the distance.

        His biggest win is when he pulled the upset against undefeated but unnoteworthy 35-year-old Terrel William.

        -Custio Clayton had no notable fights in general other than after having a draw against Lipinets and went the whole distance against Cameron Krael (18-19-3) after that fight.

        -Sergey Lipinets is actually the most accomplished welterweight fighter in his resume despite that in actuality he is a small light welterweight with Ennis admitting that before erasing his twitter comment, he had a win over a Lamont Peterson whose biggest wins are David Avanesyan and Amir Khan, though It was later found that Peterson had tested positive for steroids henceforth was stripped of the WBA title.

        Also before Peterson faced Lipinets he was coming off from a TKO loss to Spence.

        He should had faced Cody Crowley by now whose coming off dominating and beating undefeated Kudratillo Abdukakhorov and faded Josesito Lopez. Rashidi Ellis who beaten Alexis Rocha whose B level fighter who I bet would have beaten most elite fighters that don't rank at the top 5. Stationis who beaten Jamal James and Butaev Or Ugas who beaten Prime Jamal James, Omar Figueroa, Abel Ramos, and Manny Pacquaio who beaten Thurman.

        All these fighters are under the same network.

          These current crop of welters have downgraded the division. Like someone said, it used to be the filet mignon of the sport.

            I haven't seen any article that explains why. Any youtuber that have explored this topic about Ennis' questionable record?

              Maybe the good fighters don't want to face him because they see him as high risk and low reward. The thinner his resume, the easier he is to dismiss and ignore. The easier it becomes for fans to create threads and write comments on articles/videos saying he hasn't fought anyone of note.

              It's a bit of a silent agreement where people think "let's just all ignore this high risk low reward guy, and if he gets loud we'll just ask who has he beat?"

                That's all useless speculation. Have yet to hear from Ennis team who they approached and who declined. They can't lie. Otherwise, they'll get sued.

                  Actually, it's an educated guess from keeping up with the boxing scene. Did you already ask Ennis or his team yet?
