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

[Bronx2245]

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

Because Conor Benn is a drug cheat, and he went 12 rounds in his last 2 fights with Rodolfo Orozco, and Peter Dobson! Besides the fact that Benn is a bum, the IBF ordered Boots to fight Crowley!

Ennis wipes out anyone at 147 not named Terence Crawford.

you wouldn't happen to be born and raised in Arizona....would you?

Just the fact they keep him away from well known fighters says to me his team has doubts. Hes another tank or charla.

I don’t think to that point but I do believe your onto something here

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

Sounds utterly ridiculous to say you're being avoided when you've got 32 fights on your record, mostly bums. Stanionis by comparison got only 16, exactly half. But like they say, a lie when repeated millions times becomes truth in some people's delusional minds. He couldn't even take Kavaliauskas who's last fight was on PBC for a stay busy fight.

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.

but if he fights at 160 he's not getting back to 147 and maybe not even back to 154

Excellent point ! Take 160 out of my suggestion. I didn't really think it through. Boots should fire me..

Boots = Jeff Lacy 2.0

[Lance98]

People here actually believed fools like blair cobbs and conor benn were serious when they didn't want any real smoke with boots, and wasn't boots having tons of issues with his ex-promoter and was suing that ex-promoter when barios called him out? How convenient...
