Boots did what he was supposed to do, and put himself in position to fight the BEST Welterweight in the game! Spence chose to go away! That's not Boots' fault! Just like Haney put himself in position to fight Lomachenko! Loma chose Teofimo Lopez! That's not Haney's fault! Haters always try to change the narrative, but facts are facts!

IBF is not the only title in boxing. And Spence is not the only fighter in the sport. You chart your course and not depend entirely on one title and one boxer. You need to stop making excuses for him for his abysmal inactivity. He used to fight nine times in a year. What happened? At 20th fight he made no attempt to shift gears. That tells you everything about his preferred route. It's obviously not an exciting course to look forward to for fans of the sport.

Anyways, like I mentioned, it no longer matters who he picks. Cherrypicks are not so bad and they're becoming unpredictable nowadays.

You know what else can't be true? Tank (PBC) is fighting Ryan Garcia (GBP) on SHO! Stanionis (PBC) is fighting Ortiz Jr.(GBP) on DAZN! Fulton (PBC) is fighting Inoue (TR) on ESPN! All the PBC fighters are the belt holders too!

Right!! There goes that whole "PBC island" bullshyte!

Don’t expect the neo-notsees to listen. They hate Haymon because he is a powerful black American

Name a fighter at his level, Interim Champion, or even Top 3, that fights nine times a year? How about even 4 times a year? Boots is 30-0 w/ 27 KOs, and HE'S ONLY 25 YEARS OLD! That's strong work, which will put him in a title fight in 2023! Spence is not the only WW, but he's the BEST WW! So we're supposed to be mad that Boos is chasing the best? That's ridiculous! That should be applauded, not discouraged! And now Spence chooses to go to 154, instead of fighting Boots, and we're suppose to be mad at Boots? That's f'ing crazy!

No such thing as chance when you already have 31 fights on your record and still continue to fight subpar opponents. You create them. Crawford is available and a free agent. He's got the WBO title and Boots for some odd reason dropped out of his mandatory position; aside from the fact that he repeatedly said he'll fight Bud in a heartbeat. What happened? Why is he not doing anything about it? He's got Showtime on his back and all he had to do is talk to Espinoza and tell him to make the Bud fight happen for him. Nothing wrong with trying. Do we see that kind of effort? NO.

If showtime can’t secure Bud for Spence, which is a MUCH bigger fight, what makes you think they can secure him for Boots? Anyone that thinks champions will willingly fight boots, clearly knows nothing about boxing. Boots will have to force someone to fight him, similar to what Spence had to do.
