Anyone sick of Jaron "Boots" Ennis not making himself active enough?

[Teetotaler69]

If he wants to make himself irrelevant then that's on him. I'm tired of him padding his record with nothing but bums. He's pretty much the guy at ww considering it's trash. Santillan would be a good fight

[Teetotaler69]

He had a deal with Showtime. It's not like they had a lot of dates to go around.

That was so ******. Why be loyal to a network if you're not even gonna be given dates? Lol just an excuse to duck Crawford when blkprime offered the fight.

tanks path is cemented in stone by now. fight easy opponents and rake in cash. they enabled him far too much for him to become a real fighter. he will do this until he can cherry pick a couple old shot fighters and that will probably be it for him. his fans will call him an all time great. comes with the territory. hes had all the power to make good fights and refuses, dont think ennis has that same power so not really fair to compare them.

Probably right about Ennis. You know the people impressed by tank are the same people impressed by the Paul bros., so I get it. tank is a future HOF’er!

[famicommander]

He should have been fighting guys with names while he waits for the real contenders. Lipinets is the only name on his resume. If he couldn't get Crawford, Spence, Danny, Porter, or Ugas he should've gotten some dinosaurs like Khan, Brook, Guerrero, Alexander, Ortiz, Collazo, etc to pick on. Dulorme, Clayton, Karen, Villa, Abreu, and Eyubov? Not one of those guys raised his profile at all.

unfortunately most of boxing media/industry fall in line and keep pretending/repeating the tank is great BS. they even have him on the p4p list...like why? makes no sense. his resume is such crap and he cheats his opponents. i mean come on. take a stand. jesse rodriguez has 3 wins better than any tank win...not on the list. why? money.

Tank padded his resume with titlists that were way too old and/or way outside their normal weight. Cristobal Cruz, Leo Santa Cruz, Hugo Ruiz, Yuriorkis Gamboa. The public doesn't care that Cruz was 1-8-3 in his previous 12 fights when Tank knocked him out, they just see Tank knocked out a former world titlist. It's a smart and common tactic; tons of fighters do it. The problem is tank never grew out of it. His sole win against a legitimate reigning titlist who was ranked by TBRB or Ring in the division he fought them in was Pedraza.

i doubt they even see that. they jsut see tank knocking over some guy who they dont know but think well if its a "world title fight" it must be legit...

If he does sign with Matchroom, they may not have the huge fights, but he will be busy and spoken about more often than he is now. Probably needs it at this point in his career. At least for a yr or two.

Signing with Hearn might fit their MO. Eddie will provide Jaron with fights tailor-made for him. Hearn did it for Benn, Haney, etc. Made them wealthier and get them recognized, good or bad.

Those were the kind of fights he should have at least pursued starting from his 15th or 20th fights. At least those were recognizable names. He'd rather take total nobodys, instead.

[maguirre]

He's a Showtime fighter, yet he can't even secure a good-bye fight for the premiere network's exit for the month of December. I'm baffled on what this team wants for Ennis. Are they just naturally picky, wants too much money for tougher fights, what?
