Any possibility of Crawford vs Ennis happening this year?

I highly doubt it. Ennis is going the IBF route.

Yep, Spence will probably release all his welterweight titles and then Ennis will claim the vacant IBF one and hold that belt hostage for a long time.

Look for Crawford-Broner this fall.

If Crawford is talking to GBP, based on the photo with Oscar and Hopkins, it's probably Rocha and Ortiz Jr. Waste of time with Cobb. After Stanley Ortiz iis going to be as ready as he ever will be for the fight. I don't see the defeat railroading his career. Put up a great fight like Yarde just did and you still come out winning. The "0" thing is BS! If Frankie Randall is my favorite all-time fighter, why would I care if a fighter has a defeat or 3 as long as he is making the relevant fights.

Boxers were active during those days. To think that Chavez Sr retired after 115 fights and Randall 77 fights is unbelievable. Nowadays boxers (I even hesitate to call them fighters) just wait for money fights and won't even take stay-busy fights for fear of losing once.

Do you think Ortiz loses to Stanionis? Is Stanley his other name, what am I missing?

BTW, I started a thread, which I thought should be stickied.

Why is losing once so horrible in the sport of boxing?

Losing fights nowadays are no longer taken as learning experiences, become better, gain more focus next time. They're taken as graves to your boxing career.
