Comments Thread For: "Bozy" Ennis: "Spence Is Not Scared, It's Business, Boots Is High Risk, Low Reward"

No way in Hell Al risks Earl against Bud with Tank's freedom up in the air.

Yeah right, find anything for Bud to escape his well deserved ass whooping.

F' it. If they can't make Spence/Crawford then I don't mind seeing the young lion get a shot at the title. I'm not to enthusiastic about Spence facing Thurman. I need to see Thurman fight at least once or twice more before he gets a shot. He's been too inactive.

F'k Keith Thurman! WBC looks extra corrupt by making Thurman vs. Barrios an eliminator! How does a fighter get KO'd at 140, and then get an eliminator @ 147? They should've ordered Thurman vs. Avenesyan, or Thurman vs. Ortiz Jr.! Thurman does NOT deserve a title shot! I hope Spence sticks to his guns, and does not fight Thurman! Only fighters worthy to fight Spence are Bud Crawford, Vergil Ortiz Jr., and Boots Ennis!

Not really, Boots has already said that after his Karen fight, he wants the winner of the Stanionis-Ortiz fight, so there has to already be some talks taking place of stepping aside if Spence-Crawford is made. It would be in his best interest anyway, seeing as how difficult it is to get all the belts from different champions to undisputed. I'm not stating the difficulties of the fights, I'm speaking of the difficulties of the fights being negotiated and made into a reality. The winner between Bud and Spence, SPENCE, will have all of the belts, which would allow Boots to fight one champion for undisputed, eliminating the bullshxt of promoters, networks, and the business of making four separate championship fights.

You're assuming that if Spence became Undisputed @ 147, he would remain @ 147 to fight Boots! That's not gonna happen! Bozy is smarter than that! What Bozy did is put Spence in a position that he has to choose! If you fight Thurman for WBC, you vacate IBF! I don't blame him! Who's to say Spence wouldn't fight Ortiz Jr. instead of Boots? Both from Dallas, and Spence vs. Mikey had 47K in attendance! Bozy made the power move, and it's the right thing to do! 2023 is Strap Season! No more waiting! MAN UP!

Why is it that business only gets in the way when the champ has to face a fighter with a real chance at victory. The easiest way to duck now is claiming it doesn't make business sense.

But Spence is MR. STRAP SEASON, he's not avoiding no smoke. You're assuming that he would immediately move up after beating Bud. The whole step aside agreement would have to be under the condition that Boots would get his shot next. MR.. MAN DOWN hasn't done anything dishonorable for the agreement not to take place. THE BIG FISH could definitely choose to fight Ortiz, as he's earned his rights to call the shots, but let's be clear, if Boots stepped aside and goes and beats the winner of Ortiz-Stanionis, then there is only Ennis that is worth big PPV and gate numbers. I'm sure that would be something THE BODYSNATCHER would deem as a fitting last fight before he moves up. Bozy knows that he can line his pockets by stepping aside, and gain much needed acclaim by adding either Stanionis or Ortiz on his resume in the meantime. If Errol promises him next after putting the beats on Bud, Boots knows that he can trust THE TRUTH, and win or lose, most likely lose, MR. STRAP SEASON just made him a household name.

I meant to quote you, my response is above.

And Stanionis

Ennis is unknown publicly, that's why he is not a high business deal, its easy to see how this works with unknown guys coming up, public profile is what brings the money.

Spence has been struggling to make 147 for at least 2 years! Had he fought Crawford in 2022, and won, he would be @ 154 in 2023. Now the Crawford fight didn't happen in 2022, then he has yet another car accident, and he's talking about coming back in April or May of 2023. If he fights Thurman first, then Crawford, Boots never see Spence until he moves to 154! Bozy sees what's happening, and made the power move! Hell nah, you come back and fight Boots in April, then Crawford! Boots is not taking a back seat to Keith Thurman! They tried to make Keith Thurman fight Boots, Keith said he didn't know who Boots was! GTFOH! Bozy made the right play! You come back in April and fight Boots, or you fight Thurman and vacate the IBF title! I totally support this move!

And Stanionis

Only if he beats Vergil Ortiz Jr. first!
