Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis: 'Nobody Calls Me Out at 147 Pounds - I'll Fight Anybody'

Show up at their gym and smack them in the mouth, record it and put it online . If that doesn't get them in the ring , then nothing will. If you're frustrated, do something. Whatever he's doing isn't getting anything done. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Take a page from the Shannon Briggs manual.

——-
Floyd, Teo, Bud, Spence, Ali, Foreman, Hopkins, Roy, Toney, Zab, Wilder, Hagler, Bradley, and almost all everyone was/is full of themselves.
What exactly is Boots saying that none of those guys said?

He’s had call outs and is on record saying their not at his level
Then goes on to say that nobody wants to fight him
Sitting around for the Bud fight doesn’t make him any better or garner him any fame

Blair Cobbs called you out in your face and you just ignored him. He may not be a name and may not be competitive, but at least you get to stay active, instead of just sitting on your ass waiting for nothing.
Conor Benn also called you out. Mario Barrios called you out in front of the whole world. Even grandpa Robert Guerrero called you out.
T. Crawford started at 135, but went on to fight undefeated Kavaliauskas at 147. Where were you at that time? Your 25th fight is a guy named Bakhtiyar Eyubov who don't even have a wiki page.

That's all true. But it's hard to stop people from perpetuating the "he's being avoided" narrative.

Why not accept Conor Benn's challenge when he came calling?

Rob, did you see the interview from Ramirez leading up to the fight this weekend saying he wanted the immediate rematch but was denied it? He's still hoping that fight's next. I told you he wanted it. He hopes Espinoza keeps his word.

Ennis passes the eye test for sure. I do believe that no one with a name wants to fight him without a payday worth the risk , except Tim Tszyu , that dude will fight anyone. If I were advising him I'd put out a press release with all of the big names offering to fight from 147 to 160. Take on any name in whichever weight class answers the call. If no one does , punk em out. With his size he can fight at 47, 54, or 60. If that doesn't get a big name in the ring , go on a "Bum of the month tour" like Joe Louis did.

He should've signed with PBC. Could've forced unification with the Wba and Wbc champs. Then moved up to 54 and fought Jermell, Spence, Tim and probably Bud. Then moved to 60 and got the Wbc and Wba champs. Then to 68 and.... could've done it on Amazon Prime in front of an American audience. Instead he'll be fighting David I-be-sneezin in front of a foreign audience. Go figure!

Espinoza would love to fight him next because those two fighting each other means neither has to face El Venado Lopez.

He's a humble dude. When he says this, he means it. Not like delusional Teofimo with his swollen eye sockets looking like 2 plums.

agreed. American after American signed with Hearn and while they made good money their careers went nowhere. Boots still has time to reverse course when his contract is up but based on the current direction his talent will not be showcased to the American sports fan nor will he ever see himself in a “superfight”….he fell for the okie doke

[Bronx2245]

Boots is the #3 P4P American Fighter behind Crawford and Tank! He spent years chasing Errol Spence, when Spence had 3 belts, but unfortunately, he never signed with PBC, only Showtime, and that didn't get it done! I hope Eddie Hearn has a better plan for him. I don't think it's worth it to stay @ 147! Yeah, you'll be Undisputed, but who would you have beaten? Beat up Avanesyan at home, put on a good show for your people, then go to 154, because 147 is dead!
