Terence Crawford vs Jaron Ennis fight STILL might happen

[F l i c k e r]

Ennis needs to do what Benavidez and Tszyu have been and actually fight guys and build his name. Can he even sell out in Philly?

Who is he even fighting next?

This is the same thing people said about Crawford.

Make it happen!

How about ProBox try to make an offer to carry this fight?

I would love to see ProBox TV get involved in making this fight happen, collaborate with BLK Prime or something.

About time something has to be done about this fight, not just talk about it.

Well, you're not wrong about that. And Crawford did. I don't know that he'd have gotten the Spence fight without taking on and beating the guys put on front of him.

Here what Spence was saying in 2019.

I think that was right after Bud had knocked out Amir Khan.

So then Bud beats Mean Machine (Ring #10 at the end of 2019), Kell Brook (maybe faded, but on a 3 fight win streak after his loss to Spence, and Bud did it better), and then the one that made the biggest difference, Shawn Porter, followed by Ring #7 Avanesyan. At that point it was pretty clear he was the other big name at 147. So he fought two former champions with good names and two ranked contenders before he was finally able to get his money fight.

So let's look at Boots, and who he's fighting. Has he fought even ONE former welterweight champ? How many ranked contenders has he fought? At the end of 2022, Ring's top 10 were:

Welterweights
Title Vacant
1. Errol Spence
2. Terence Crawford
3. Jaron Ennis
4. Yordenis Ugas
5. Vergil Ortiz
6. Eimantas Stanionis
7. Keith Thurman
8. Conor Benn
9. Radzhab Butaev
10. David Avanesyan

How many of those guys has Ennis fought to build his name and rep? He fights on the PBC platform, but can't get any of the PBC welters? We'll see how he fares vs Crowley, but he's still primarily an eye test guy with a weak resume, IMO. I think he's likely the goods, but he's inactive and seems to have crap management.

Until Crawford names his next fight, he'll always be asked about Ennis wherever he goes. Pretty clear it won't be Canelo.

Maybe ProBox should participate in the bidding and combine resources with BLK Prime.
