Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis targeting ?history? and the ghost of Floyd Mayweather

[brankobugarski]

Floyd didn't just clean out his division.
He cleaned out boxing.
OK, a bit of hyperbole, but you get my point.
Floyd fought every worthy challenger he could.
And Boots?
Not so much.

I never liked Floyd and I always hoped somebody would beat him ... Diego, Oscar, Manny ... but nobody ever did (well in my opinion Oscar did but that is another story). At the end of his career I had to admit that he was an ATG and that his body of work was unparalleled in the modern boxing history. He beat so many champions and hall of famers that I am not sure who will ever equal that accomplishment.

To compare him to Boots at this point in Boots's career is beyond ridiculous. He has never beaten a single champion yet or a fighter in top 5. Maybe Stanionis will be the first but that is still light years away from Floyd.

Bad? 1 could say He arguably lost that fight

I could as well but the Floyd fight was in the bag

your bytch ass stay on that race shyte on every single thread. You just get mad when we make points and because your dumb ass can't respond intelligently with facts you go str8t to your Sean Hannity and FOX news talking points. hahahahahahaha

Ead kid. He brought it up, I called him out. Where in my responses or threads have I called out race? Pull em up fcukboi....if not stfu
fcuk faux news. You really hung up on your conservative viewpoints, ain't ya? Cho@ssup this convo ain't for your dumb@ss

And why he got the nod

[El_Mero]

That's why these mothafuqqas stay mad. They know they can't compete. So they make up lies and then nick pick off the lies they make up. Then when it's a lot of them that deploy the same tactics they believe it's true. What's true is Boots ios going to beat the shyte out of dude this weekend and then become undisputed this year. Meanwhile El Mero's heroes like Ryan will be somewhere failing PED tests again and his other hero Virgil will claim that this time he has Quesadilla poisoning and move up to 160 when Boots comes for the belts at 154.

Here you go spitting ignorance and I have to correct your dumbfcuk self.

fcuk cryan Garcia. As for Vergil, I aint even high on the kid. But who's scared to death of him is your coward @ss bootsy who ducked him. Just like he ducked Crawf TWICE. go sit your ASSuming @ss down. No nothing ignorant fcukboi

How does Stanionis, who was emailed his belt, compare even closely to Corrales?

He doesn't really. Only in the fact that this is the first opponent that Boots will face that is even remotely compelling or may actually pose some threat (either actual or on paper). Even with that, Ennis is still a -700 favorite (as compared to Mayweather being a -135 favorite against Chico).

The article references Boots and Mayweather (specifically Floyd's fight with Gatti). My point is that when Mayweather fought Gatti, he had already established himself with big wins and tougher challenges than Gatti. Something that Boots has yet to do.

I can dig it. Stanionis isn't anything special, hence the odds. Matter of fact, 147 is weak af.

You mean end the hype job like the Ukranian did to Virgil?

Never happened nice story though hansel ROFL

[hitmanjosh]

EAD fanboy. Stay bent over b!tch

I don't mind you talking crap or disagreeing but you a computer champion, because you would never be fact to face can call me nothing but Sir punk MF'er!

[djtmal]

I really would like an answer to my question sir. If you know boxing then you know Floyd started at 126. He fought all champs and ducked no wreck on his way up. So why is it that you single him out at welter? You acknowledged that he started WW against Zab. For the rest of his career he fought all the top names at WW that the public wanted him to see. Yes you have the right to critize but dammit state you case and give us facts. Compare and contrast it to other WWs and turn us into beleivers.

No his first fight at ww was Sharmba Mitchell. A transplanted ww and most of his ww career was transplanted ww's (outside of Baldymir).

Speaking to Boots Ennis if he is looking to one up Floyd make sure your resume is natural wws mainly. Then you also want to fight mainly prime guys and he should get the respect he deserves in the process.

Fuuk Floyd it's Boots Ennis time now. Make every outing count
