you can't be accused of ducking somebody not in your division.

everybody knows this except fanboys

I understand your sentiment, but that’s just semantics. If Boots really desires to be amongst the greats, there’s no plausible reason to turn down a fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr.! Stanionis, Norman, nor Barrios, can give him that!

So moving up in weight to fight a zero time champion makes you closer to being amongst the greats?

thats the Dumbest **** I heard today.

How comforting it is to move the post when needed
Ill play
So what about just not going for your biggest payday ever
One injury and it all goes away but your excuse would be he’s not in my division ???

Say what you will but Bud going up for his biggest payday

And I can mention more but just wanna show you that the ducking moniker is overused in boxing and it’s usually trolls or couch warriors who deem it possible

Brian Norman hasn't done squat. What's the point if that fight. Now days beating champs that became champs by getting gift belts. Ennis, Stanionis, and Normal got gift belts. They never defeared another champion, a real champ. Stanionis was gift that WBA Belt and Ennis had the gifted IBF belt. Who has Norman beaten?

Norman has a good win vs. Santillan. The issue is that now his team is behaving entitled.

Turning down 1.7 million to fight for 150k is a duck brother

Honestly, things worked out for Ennis. Ennis would've been screwed had he agreed to face Norman, due to Norman's injury.

Please don’t waste too much time in negotiations! If Barrios or Norman can’t sign by end of May, go to 154! We’re all waiting for Boots vs. Vergil! There’s nothing at 147 that comes close, unless it’s Ryan Garcia, and that’s not happening!

You're under the assumption that his first fight would be vs. Ortiz. If I'm Team Ennis, I'm petitioning the IBF to get a title shot vs. Murtazaliev.

Bud is going up for his biggest payday because he wants too. Not because he has to. So that analogy makes zero sense.

Moving up isnt a requirement. Fighting at the same weight for 10x less is a duck. Refusing to move up isnt a duck

example of a duck.....canelo turning down 50 million to fight Benavidez while turning around and fighting berlanga for 30 million. That's a duck. Same Division


Jai Opeita turning down a fight with usyk for a career high payday at Heavyweight isn't a duck. Different division

Are things gonna work out for norman tho?

He's 24, so he has time. I like what I saw vs. Santillan, but he did seem to get rattled vs. a puncher in Cuevas. If he faces another puncher in Sasaki, can Norman avoid disaster? Probably. If he doesn't, he's gonna wish he had taken the Ennis fight.

No, Ennis should wait where he is and take other belts. If it takes another 2 years, let it be.

being undisputed is higher accomplishment.
