Comments Thread For: Matchroom Nearing Replacement to Match With 'Boots' Ennis

[wildman]

Boots' resume is 2 fighters long:
W vs Sergey Lipinets KO 6 (former IBF 140 titlist, 3 years and 1 weight class after he lost to Mikey in a vacant lineal fight)
W vs #7 Roiman Villa KO 10

It's pretty dire after that. The ghost of Dulorme on a two fight losing streak, Custio Clayton recently off a draw with Lipinets, Chukhadzhian...

I agree 100%. Ennis hasn't really accomplished much, yet some fans try to act like he's torn up the boxing world. He doesn't have the drawing power to have interested Spence or Crawford. Is Ennis talented? Yes, but that doesn't mean he's a great fighter. Lots of guys with talent ultimately don't pan out. The welterweight division is pretty bleak right now. Only Stanionis would be an interesting fight for Boots, but Stanionis needs another fight or two to shake the ring rust.

Boxing “fans” who diss exceptional fighters like Boots because of their “shallow resume” are simply idiots. It not only shows they are incapable of recognizing a true standout talent…they don’t even understand the senseless and debilitating Promoter/Network politics that make it hard to BUILD a decent resume in the first place.

Who is Boots supposed to have beaten thus far, to get these armchair critics’ respect? Who has he ducked? As anyone not carrying a white cane and being led by a Labrador can see…the man has incredible footwork, great hand speed, major power in both hands, insane upper-body / head movement, serious counter-punching skills when moving backwards…and he’s exciting to watch. Maybe he can’t ride a unicycle and juggle…but hey…give him time.

The path to a Crawford fight is simple for Ennis if he really wants it: go to 154 and beat Murtazaliev for the IBF strap. If Crawford beats Madrimov for the WBA/WBO 154 belts and the Canelo fight doesn't materialize, he'll come looking for Fundora's WBC and then the IBF straps.

Just move up. There's nothing there at 147 you fvkcing bum

This has been kinda my sentiment. Anyone in the right mind can look at Ennis and see that is not a welterweight, IDC what weight he can make it's where u suppose to be according to your body type. I said the same thing with Spence for years an I knew eventually it would backfire 33 years old still trying to make 147 lol a joke....

Crawford almost 37 with grey hairs on his chin now, don't think the Boots fight is ever happening it's bout time for ya'll to stop getting your hopes up for that..theres just not enough money for Crawford unless hearn offers him 20m guaranteed and that isn't going to happen Crawford likely retires at the end of this year or early next year. He see's what happened to Wilder, that's skill deficiency, but also age...

Like I said, unless the Canelo fight falls into his lap Crawford is going for undisputed at 154. So if Boots gets a belt there, Crawford will eventually come for him unless he loses to someone else first.

I don't think that's Crawford goal tbh maybe just unify a belt or 2 and try for Canelo or retire, either way it won't be Boots. The man has said it out his own mouth multiple times when asked been watching this dude for a while now and Crawford usually means what he says.

Liam....ohhhh Liam....you're up! Lol

[DClefthook]

PBC pretended like we're making Cody available and then pulled the plug at the last second with a fake eye injury. Haha. Now Hearn has to wayyyy overpay some obscure fighter just to Dave the card. Haha that knee-grow demon Al Haymon does it again! Haha

[DClefthook]

Right now Eddie is calling Haymon begging for a 147 fighter. Al telling Eddie that if he didn't have anyone for Boots to fight then why da fuq did he sign him. WANKER!
