Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Jr. Could Still Fight in L.A. on Aug. 3

[niceyboo3]

He CLAIMS he wants Crawford, who is fighting at 154 now. If he were actually serious about that, this would be a great opportunity. But he's not, and has a long history of running his mouth and then not fighting ranked opponents. He's free now, and signed with Matchroom, which has worked with GBP before. IMO it's the best option for both guys IF they're actually serious about proving that they're the best.

Bro he hasn't even defended his email championship. Can he just jump past that? Has that EVER happened? He would revisit non-champion. IDK I'm confused

Boots no smoke is available

Ortiz spent his career at 147 and has NOTHING to show for it. And then runs to 154. And Boots is supposed to follow him to 154.

Crawford claims he wants Canelo who is at 168. If he were actually serious about that, this would be a great opportunity. But he's not, and has a long history of running his mouth and then fighting guys like Khan, Avanesyan, Brook and Kavaliauskas. He's a free agent now, and can work with anyone. IMO it's the best option for both guys IF they're actually serious about proving that they're the best.

See what I did there?

Cmon booty ennis, time to man up!

Why can’t Ortiz man up and go fight Boots at 147? It’s not a one-way street, is it?

Yes it is. Ortiz can't make 147 you dumbass. Lmfao at you defending booty. Just keep his ass at 147 fighting bums. Coward is too scared to move up and fight guys his own size. He's a bum like hankey

TC is much higher profile and a really big fight and Ennis is talking 147 if TC had a 154 title he would fight him and would stay at 154, he ain't going there for Vergil and then back to 147 he is too big to play with weight like that.

Bohachuk or the guy who won ProBoxTV's main event yesterday.

Are you being serious?

Apparently Ortiz isn't one of those people who can dehydrate themselves 15-20 pounds and not become seriously ill.

Do you think Ortiz is actually bigger than Ennis in the ring?

So Ortiz spends his whole career at 147 then runs to 154 without fighting a single belt holder or a credible opponent but Boots is the bum? Lol
The last guy Ortiz fought, Dulorme, got knocked out by Boots 3 years ago and you idiots were so excited when Ortiz fought him. lol
Talk about casual Neanderthals … next for Ortiz will probably be Roman Villa and you guys will tell the world what a great matchup that is. Clowns!

I am as serious as those that keep saying Boots need to move up to 154.

Crawford is being lauded as an ATG because he unified 135, 140 & 147. Can you imagine someone telling him to skip a weight class to go “challenge” himself at a higher weight?
For all his accomplishments, Crawford is very underpaid. Look at Tank, Haney and Shakur. They are all making way more than Crawford was making at 135.

Boots should do what Bud did. Boots should try to win titles at multiple weight classes. It’s the only leverage he has to be able to get paid well.
