Just full of ****** here. Loma was a two division world champion with seven defenses by the time he hit 11 fights. But yeah, he was GREEN according to you. Inoue was a two division world champ with 4 defenses by fight 11. Ioka was unified champ and two division champ by 11 fights. Kosei Tanaka was two division world champ with multiple defenses by 11. Etc. There's many fighters who have won multiple world titles by 11. Some guys are fast tracked because they have an extensive amateur background..

Yes they were successful despite being green as professionals. Under your logic if you win a title in your first fight your not green. Silly. Green is describing experience, and they factually have little experience as pros. This is not opinion its fact.

Fools like you would prefer they waste more time fighting guys like Tavoris Teague (3-12-2), etc? Ennis didn't fight a guy with a winning record until his 7th fight, and that was Chris Alexander (4-2). Ennis' 11th fight was against a guy with 26 losses, FFS. You want to talk green? That's it right there. Number of fights means fugh-all compared to quality of opposition. Ennis has had crap opponents for most of his padded career. That's why his opponents have a combined win rate under 70%.

And people like you LOVE to hype people up, only to piss all over them when they lose. It's literally factual that he's got no resume. It's also literally factual that NSB will call him a bum with no resume as soon as he loses. I also happen to think he passes the eye test, but it doesn't change the fact that he's never stepped up and hasn't built anything. He's welterweight Tank Davis right now, except with way worse credentials.

I'm done with your ****** takes. Ennis is the one who's ducked BUD on numerous occasions. You see him stepping up to fight any of the champs at 154? Nope. He doesn't even let Crawford's name enter his mouth except when Bud is tied to another fight, but people like you eat his fake crap up. SMH.

The problem is Madrinovs resume is padded with poor opponents also, but just less of them. Whatever you say about boots applies to Madrinov and is even worse because he is so green. I bet you are one of the people who argued Canelo was green vs Floyd right? Do you want to confess?

Spence backed out "because health issues". Spence activated the rematch clause then sat around keeping Bud out of the ring, then backed out. When the rematch clause timed out, Bud wanted Tszyu, since Charlo went MIA, but then Tszyu lost to Fundora, who made himself unavailable by getting his nose broken in that same fight and ended up with a six month medical suspension. Madrimov is literally the next best champion at 154. Failing that, he'd have to go to 160 to fight similarly unknown unified champ Janibek Alimkhanuly.

You casuals really don't pay attention at all. There were dozens of threads and articles about this stuff.

First and foremost, I'm not a casual. I've actually laced the gloves up young man and was a gym rat in the 80's and 90's. Probably longer than you've been alive. I don't catch everything. Never understood why these sites are full of so many rude people. I just want to talk boxing with other knowledgeable people not get insulted for asking a simple question.

Sadly this place is a cesspool. I would enjoy chatting with knowledgeable and respectful people as well but this place is not that. Ring magazine used to have a very good forum but covid and bad decisions by the editor killed it. There no longer seems to be anyplace for us to go.
