Comments Thread For: Bozy Ennis Happy With Cruz But Rules Out Boots For Benn

[1Eriugenus]

'Benn literally has nothing for Boots' He's got a mess of eggs that would make Boots feel super-special

[Sid-Knee]

Benn offers nothing, but all the bums he's foguht, do? Haha. What.

Why are you going after Crowley? I know why. Yeah, you're ducking Benn. That would be by far your biggest fight.

It will be interesting to see who Ennis fights next.

Let me help you with the specific quote since you didn't read that far:



As in, CRAWFORD refuses to fight Boots and (allegedly) plans to leave the division having never fought the biggest threat in it at the moment (aka ducking).

That's not on Boots, that's on Crawford.

And I would remind NSB: they said that Sugar Ray Leonard ducked Aaron Pryor for the same reason (doesn't bring enough to the table). So why is the narrative different now?

SRL never ducked Pryor, never. Follow the time-line.

I don’t even know the story behind this so-called “duck”, and I KNOW there’s NO WAY Sugar ducked Pryor. Hahaha Leonard was a monster, one of the very best of all-time, and The Hawk, although an ATG himself, was much smaller. Just laughable. More on point: what did you think of Cruz’s performance last night?

What a waste of prime. His next fight is Crowley, and still no date announced. Assuming he fights in May or June for the showcase fight, he then comes back after 10 months again. What a waste. People wait in anticipation only to see him fight the same types of opponents he's so used to taking. It's an insult for fans who sincerely want to see more of his so-called vaunted skills and talent. Very frustrating.

Oh, come on Sid Knee, supporting the British guy can go too far, If Boots wants a R1 KO he can get it by icing a PED-free Benn. Where does that get him? Nowheres. How does that help him? Noway. I support the British fighter usually but Benn is a PED-cheating toe rag who has gone out of his way to avoid domestic fights that matter (eg Michael McKinson & Ekkow Essumann) while constantly 'calling out' fighters in lower divisions or who have retired. Conor Benn is a tripehound.

You know if a guy doesn't want to get knock out, is going to be hard to do it. He showed he is an elite technician and he only have three pro fights, he should be fighting for a belt within a year, and he'll only get better because as his confidence grows, as boxing is concern he is a finished product, he have to fight as often as he can and get stronger. The guy is good.

Crawford kept himself busy. And those guys Khan and Brook stepped up to face Bud. And where was Ennis? Hiding looking for victims with 10 loses even in his 25th fight.

———
So what you are saying is Boots fighting Crowley is also keeping himself busy.
I’m guessing anyone that steps up to fight Boots, he should fight them because they “stepped up”.

Perhaps that’s the rest on Bud fighting Teofimo is great because Teo “stepped up”?

Do you know who Bud fought in his 30th fight? Felix Diaz. And on his glorious 25th fight, Bud fought Thomas Dulorne! Who the hell are those two guys?

The hypocrisy, double standards AND lack of boxing historical facts here is unreal.

[cruz1383]

So Boots is just gonna shoot down every single fighter cause he’s got nothing for him but will stick around waiting for Bud who is contractually obligated to fight Spence ?
This is what is wrong with boxing today

he shouldn't just wait around, but if he has a chance at Crawford, which he does because Spence isn't healed and might not even take the fight because he might need a tune up to see how his eye holds up. so why fight Benn ? I don't mean wait for 6 months for Crawford but I'm sure in the next couple of months we will know where Crawford vs Spence is at then Boots can make a decision.
