Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis Wants Terence Crawford, But Bud - For Now - Isn't Looking His Way

[Warrior24_7]

He shouldn’t look his way either! If I were Crawford, I’d NEVER fight Boots! The man was robbed in broad daylight. Crawford was “undisputed,” then unceremoniously stripped of his title and it was “handed” to Ennis! Now, all of a sudden he should fight him to get back what was literally stolen from him? Nah, you’re not going to steal my car, then make me pay you to get it back! As good as Ennis is, he’s a fake champion! He didn’t defeat another fighter to “earn” that belt. Look how long Crawford had to wait on Spence! Spence wasn’t stripped. Then there’s Benavidez and Canelo. As a sitting champion, Canelo is flat out refusing to fight the man! He’s not being stripped. No sanctioning body would dare think about it! What happened to Crawford was criminal and a very bad look for boxing. He shouldn’t reward this by fighting their fake champ and playing into their hands.

That's cap.

People may not ?, speak for yourself.

Boxers do, and 4 division champion, 3 x undisputed is the goal.

Madrimov actually won his tittle in ring, unlike the email worrior called Boots.

And the Saudi prince dont mine ever , seen as Madrimov has already fought over there.

Tell Eddie to put the bag up if hes serious that is.

You can talk that nothing fight up all you want but it won’t do good business regardless of what titles may be on the line.

I’m not confident now that boots will have the career that will make him remembered. His signing with matchroom doesn’t exactly fill me with excitement. His better options would have been TR or PBC with exposure to sports fans on ESPN or Amazon. But matchroom and dazn is where we are so that’s that. Outside of hearn’s propensity to make small fights in the usa, we also live in an era where fans clamour about “superfights” and make excuses for the top fighters to avoid other champions and contenders. I do not understand this mentality of todays you get fans but this is reality. I’ve been watching boxing since the 1970s, an era when champions not only fight up and coming contenders but even contenders fought other contenders. All parties won some and lost some but none of them saw losses as a career ended. Every great of the past has lost, even the great Pacquiao has many losses on his record. What made the greats great is they fought to win each and every time as opposed to fighting not to lose in order to protect their records. Boots is doing himself NO favours by fighting on an obscure app that no American sports fan save the die hard boxing fan will see. He probably won’t get any big name save for maybe Benn, so I hope he makes KO reels out of all 3 matches he’s with matchroom because that’s the only way he is going to make a name for himself

PBC keeps their fighters inactive for way too long. It seems like their motto is, our guys only have to fight 1 time a year because we give him a carefully selected guy designed to maximize our guys pay while minimizing their risk of losing, while giving the facade of it being a competitive bout. This may accomplish the goal of keeping their guys safer and they let them keep more of the money they earn, but inactivity ruins a fighter. It makes them softer and they get rusty, messes up their timing and reflexes. And it ruins boxing because fights we fans need and want to see, never get made. How many PBC fighters fight more than once twice a year, tops?
