    Its not going to matter, Bud has better options. Boots is in the position Bud was in and round we go until Boots will be in that position then some other up and comer will be where he is now.

      He’s been waiting to get a shot at a vacant belt and it looks like he’ll get it.

        this is true, they way of the sport at times

        bud wants to fight charlo for the history and the belts, charlo wants to fight canelo for the history and the belts & now bud wants to fight canelo for the history and the belts, just keep looking up, but just not too far because the guy who looked up, canelo, is now looking down lol

          He just has to keep winning, probably Bud will drop the belts, Boots can fight for vacant titles unify, he's big at 147 once he does he can get auto shots at 154lb titles. He's marketable enough due to likelihood of him getting a stoppage.

            there is also an argument which i havnt really gone into, that if boots really wanted to he could have made better headway to fight either bud or spence, boots is no spring chicken, hes age prime now but i do know it can be done if u really want to go for the top guys in your division if u think u are ready, u first start talking about them, calling them out and get in place asap for a shot at them, seems to me hes had time to do that if he really wanted to do it or maybe not, maybe hes not so confident as he makes out to be

              Maybe you can be Boots adviser then and tell him to petition to actually fight Bud.
              How is it a duck when Boots hasn't even sent a contract.

              You can't say the same for Nelo.
              He got offered a fight with a written up guarantee to fight David but he ducked to fight Jermell.

              Just let go off the hate bro.
              I guarantee you will feel better and you won't look as ****** as you sound on NSB.

                Lesser fighters than Boots, who have done way less than him, and bring way less money and name recognition than him, don’t deserve these title shots…but they get it anyway. So in that case, why can’t Boots, who has done more than Avaneysan, Kavaliaskas, and Benavidez, get a title shot?

                It’s boxing, that’s just how it works. And that’s why it mostly sucks. In MLB, NBA, NFL, you just can’t skip and choose what teams you want to play against or don’t want to play against. If so, those sports would be way less popular because fans would be turned off that the best ranked teams can just avoid the other best ranked teams. And choose when they want to play them.

                    Has Ennis filed petition for the IBF just like he did last year when the title was owned by Spence?
                    Why is he so passive when it comes to Bud Crawford? It doesn't look like he wants the fight.

                    Ennis (IBF), Stanionis (WBA) Petition To Enforce Mandatory Title Shot Against Spence
                    https://www.boxingscene.com/ennis-ib...spence--169935

                    He should have filed the petition so that the clock would have started ticking for Crawford just like Spence.

                    IBF orders Spence Ennis within 120 days.
