      I think WBC is up first. However, now Spence has to choose! I know one thing for sure, Boots has been IBF #1 longer than Thurman has been WBC #1. Spence also said he would never give Thurman that payday because Thurman wouldn't give it to him, when he was a YG!

        How will MR. STRAP SEASON fight him in April, when Boots is already lining up the winner of Stanionis and Ortiz? It has to tell you that these step aside talks between Boots team and Spence's team are already happening. THE BIG FISH isn't trying to give up a belt before beating the brakes off of Bud for undisputed, otherwise he would have moved up already after Crawford ran away. The accident could've happened to anyone, he doesn't control a 14 year old kid stealing his parent's car and crashing into him. MR. MAN DOWN will be happy to accommodate Boots by filling his coffers until he handles this little bit of Bud business. Also, Boots doesn't have much longer at 147 either, so regardless, they will fight on a PPV and Ennis will get THE TRUTH, but he won't like it.
        Spence can NOT stay at 147 long enough to fight Thurman, Crawford, and Boots! Now that Bozy made the power move, Spence must choose his priority! If he chooses to fight Thurman, then Crawford, more power to him, but he won't be doing it as "Undisputed!" I'm very happy with that, because Boots is putting in work! Thurman living off yesteryear! Boots is only 25, and already has more KO victories than Spence and Thurman! Thurman fought Pacquiao, and lost in 2019! He comes back in 2022 and wins a decision over Mario Barrios, who lost to Tank by KO at 140, and then he gets a title shot??? GTFOH!!! Pick your poison! Thurman for the WBC, or Ennis for the IBF! MAN UP!

          I believe that regardless of what we think to be Ennis' talent level, we can't just make the assumption of him being on Spence's level off of the eye test. He hasn't fought a top ten fighter to gear his special qualities; such as how does he react to a top contender's best punches and combinations, how does he make adjustments when a very good fighter is trying to control the distance but has enough power to keep him honest, how does he approach a top contender that fights off of the front foot just as well as the back foot,, etc.? These are questions we can't answer from the level of opponents he's faced so far.

          Where is his Danny, Porter, when he was a champion, Mikey, Ugas, and others that we were able to gather the answers to how Spence would fare against the top in the division? While I do think that he is very talented, I just can't say that he is on Errol's level until he finally fights someone of a higher caliber and looks just as dominant as he has thus far. So, when Spence puts the beats on Crawford, he should be held up as the best in the division, and also with the best resume in the division bar none.
          Crawford's respect as an elite WW is off the "eye test" too! Name one WW that he fought, that you think could beat Boots! Name one opponent at 140 you think could beat Boots! Who cares if Boots loses to Spence? Didn't Canelo lose to Mayweather? Didn't Leonard lose to Duran? Didn't Ali lose to Frazier? Boots earned his shot, and wants his shot...ASAP! Let's applaud that! MAN UP!

            I get it, and I 'm with you on a lot of it. Its just that Spence has been putting his neck on the line against every opponent but we don't hold everyone else to the same standard. Crawford hasn't fought a credible opponent, besides Porter who was already about to retire, but him, Boots and Ortiz are talked about on the same level. He takes no tune ups, but its okay for everyone else to fight below the level of credibility. These fans are bogus.

              Who else fights Danny Garcia after being off for a year, who fights Ugas, who beat Crawford in the amateurs, after being off for a year? Crawford is going to get his ass whooped, but Boots has to understand that he doesn't have the resume to trump anybody currently There's a thousand excuses for Loma, but Erroll has been through way more and has never had a fear of failure. Spence is 32, but is considered in his prime, Bud is 35 but we don't hear any of these excuses. Spence is going to beat the 25 year old Boots after he accomplishes his goal in boxing of undisputed, and you guys will still let Crawford off the hook for a less than average resume. Are we trying to please are own interests, or are we going to looking at facts?

                So let me get this straight, because I don't want to put words in your mouth, you think that Boots should get a fight against Spence before Ennis fights Stanionis or Ortiz? If so, what makes him more qualified than anyone else that hasn't fought top ten contenders? And why haven't you wanted wanted Crawford to defend his ONE belt, if you are cool with Spence giving his IBF up to Ennis if Errol fights Crawford first?

                  Oh yeah, as you can see from my recent posts, after I figured Crawford out, I, personally don't hold him in high regard anymore. I don't know how he would do against top opponents because he doesn't face any.

                    I've been giving Crawford the business since he signed the extension with Top Rank, while knowing all the competition was at PBC! After he pulled out the Spence negotiations, and announced Avanesyan, I'm done with him! That being said, Boots shouldn't have to sit on the porch and wait for Spence vs. Thurman in April, then Spence vs. Crawford in September! Nah, I'm glad Bozy putting Spence under pressure! If Ortiz Jr. beats Stanionis, Spence under more pressure! These YGs not sitting around waiting for Spence vs. Crawford in September, just for it to fall apart again, and Spence goes to 154! I don't blame them!

                      Boots has the resume to trump Keith Thurman! Thurman fights 3 times a decade, loses to a 40+ Manny Pacquiao, then comes back to fight a Jr. WW, who was coming off a KO loss to a LW, and he's back at WBC #1??? Oh hell naw!
