Reminds me of Andrade; talented, but fights lower tier opposition. Chukhadzhian showed why.

I don't think anyone will be in a hurry to fight Chukhadzhian - the guy is a spoiler.

Ennis is avoided. Pure and Simple. 80% avoided because of his talent and 20% because he's not with a major promoter. At this point he's the definition of ultra-high risk and low reward.

I like Boots but he needs to STFU.

How often does he speak up? Also, what should he do, not call the two top guys at WW?
Crawford fought Avanesyan - do you think Avanesyan is better than Boots?

So Boots beats Chukhadzian 120-108 on all scorecards and it wasn’t good enough?

[Oregonian]

Based on that last performance he probably should be a little less vocal about wanting either guy. Spence would UD him and Crawford would knock him out. He has talent but knocking out cans who are there to lay down is one thing. There are levels and he showed in his last fight, he isn't there yet,

Meanwhile according your logic, Avanesyan was “right there” when he got a shot at Crawford?

[Oregonian]

guy is a clown hes been fighting gatekeeper level type fighters for years now, never steps up the difficulty

Would you like me to list the gatekeepers Crawford was fighting when he was 25 years old?
Perhaps I should list the cans Cotto was fighting at 25 too? Or maybe Roy Jones too?

It seems to me that either Bud or Spence may be forced to pay this kid some step aside money as their IBF mandatory challenger. If they do an immediate rematch as expected.

Then you have that WBA final eliminator bout between Ortiz and Stanionis. In which the winner would become the mandatory for the winner of Bud/Spence also.

I just wonder how are the sanctioning bodies are going to sort this whole mess out.

I didn’t say that. I simply feel Karen exposed a few flaws in his gameplan; flaws that would get him in trouble with the upper opposition. To be clear, he beat Chukhadzhian handily.

Even if they are making him wait Boots should be fighting often against the best guys available.

Look what Tszyu has been doing while Charlo is out of action. That is the same kind of activity Ennis should be having.

Roman Villa is a good, strong opponent that Ennis can sharpen his tools against.

I heard that Floyd thinks that Ennis is the real deal, and I think he is.

Of course, if you're fighting a Crawford or Spence, it is a step up and there are finer details you have to be good at.
