Why is it so hard to understand that everyone is afraid of Boots?
Shakur benefits from being a silver medalist Olympian and has uncle Bob that got him fights. I’m not dismissing your points.
Boots ranks higher than Avanesyan yet Crawford ducked him.
Crawford fought Khan and Brooks; both irrelevant at 147. He then goes on to fight Porter who had lost to Spence (even though he had a win against some journeyman).
Why isn’t Crawford fighting anyone relevant at 147? Same resume as 140.

People were afraid of Mosley too. Mosley fought quality yet non-marketable guys as he built his name. After years, he finally got Oscar.

Mosley was 34-0 by the time he fought Oscar. The only recognizable names on his resume were Jesse James Leija and John John Molina.
By the time Mosley fought Oscar, he was 8 years into his career.
Now, look at Boots. He is the highest ranked WW contender. Every boxing coach and analyst is high on him. Bud and Spence both know of him and so do their respective coaches. Boots is high risk, low reward so neither wants to fight him.

Between Spence and Crawford, I’d say Crawford being a free agent can make that fight but he won’t because he is afraid of what a loss would mean to his legacy and how it would crush his legacy fight and massive payday against Spence.

If Bud-Spence fight happens, the winner has no choice but to fight Boots and there would be no shame in losing to a young gun. For now, both will not risk it.

So why aren’t the two best WW fighting him? Crawford fought an irrelevant Avanesyan and Spence is looking at an irrelevant Thurman.
As for Boots not being ready, that’s his problem if he’s not - he is currently the top ranked WW. Period.

Mosley's 4th year as a pro he had won a title. He beat Phillip Holiday on his first fight for HBO. Holiday isn't an all time great, but he was one of the top LWs at the time in the 3 belt ear(the WBO wasn't a major title back then). Boots has been a pro going on 3 more years than Mosely haha. Add in that Mosley didn't have 30 fights by the time he fought for a title and when he couldn't get fights, he jumped up not one, but TWO weight clases to fight the top guy at the time(DLH was the top WW in 2000). For Boots to even be mentioned with Mosley, if he can't get fights, he'd have to jump up to MW and beat GGG convincingly. We know that's not going to happen because he doesn't even want to fight the mfers in his own weight class.

This line “… and when he couldn't get fights, he jumped up not one, …” proves my point.
Mosley couldn’t get fights so he went after Oscar.
There is no Oscar-like guy at 154 for Boots to go after and there is literally no one else to fight at 147 for both Spence and Crawford except each other AND Boots.
Boots will beat them both.
