Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis: The Big Names Are Coming, I Just Have To Be Patient

Big names won't come if you're too quiet.

I think Boots is content with his position in boxing as this supposed boogie man that everyone is afraid of. while beating D level opposition.

I don't think any WW has a big name so I think it's incumbent on these guys to create their own thing at some point. Even when there is a big name around, sometimes this is needed. Plant/Benavidez + Vergil/Stanionis are good examples of blazing some new trails.

I think Ennis could use some ring time - more rounds just so people can get used to seeing him fight. His fights are short and it takes time for people to familiarize themselves no matter how much they hype. It's just odd how it works sometimes - some get the attention early and some guys slow burn.

But that means fighting WW's with proven chins, endurance, etc. not these guys who will flop around like the last guy. He's not doing that against WWs, so I think those that are a suspect are right to wonder. I don't think the fighter or fans got anything out of the last outing.

Maybe this Karen guy has a good chin, I'd like to see a good show for some rounds.

Sorry dude, there are only 2 big names at WW and they have no intention of fighting you, especially Mr. ¨path of least resistance¨ Crawford

Big names should never come by merely fighting Karens. It's ridiculous.

neither boots or Ortiz, in their 6 years as a pro, has fought a top 10 welterweight. I will give Ortiz credit for the Stannios fight, but this is his 7th year as a pro. 7 goddamn years as a pro before he fought another top 10 WW. And Boots still haven't fought another top 10 opponent yet.

Fair points. Both of these guys have been too nice and patient waiting in line. Neither of these guys is Clubber Lang, but they both need make noise and aggressively call out the old guard if/when they win their next fights.
