Comments Thread For: Ennis and Hearn tell Barrios and Norman that they should dare to be great

[Toprope]

Ennis either dared to be great or he didn't. When did he dare to be great?

Lets start back by you stating to the everyone here that you think Crawford is/was a great fighter...when the hell you come to that conclusion?

Ennis didn't dare to be great when ask to fight Ortiz.
He will wait for the pay days of Ryan, Haney, and Teo. I don't see anyone beating boots at 147.

WTF Ortiz got going on that Boots is great for beating his ass now or back then?

I can't make it make sense to someone as dumb as you but I can try. Boots vs Virgil was always a welterweight fight not a junior middleweight fight. It's not Boot's fault that Virgil came down with a case of quesadilla-itis. He should've been more professional and took care of his diet. Trying to say he had Rhabdo-taco-lysis is just a fuqqing excuse to run from Boots at welter. Boots is primed to be the next American superstar and he doesn't chase Virgil on Virgil's term. Once he cleans up 147 like he said then he will go up and beat the shyte out of Virgil. His peice of shyte promoter tried to force him to go up before he was ready because Hearn is horrible at promoting American fighters and he has proven that with Devin, Andrade, Jacobs, Tevin, Shakur and now Boots. Hey where's that white kid Nikita "white chocolate" Ababiy? I thought Hearn said we was the next great middleweight. What happened to that? hahahahahahaha

Who cares about cleaning out 147 is my point. Any of the top 8 at 154 could clear out the current 147 landscape. To be great you have to take chances. Bootsy is playing it safe. The kids ultra talented you won’t get any argument on that point from me. My beef is with his career path. He’s not a prospect. Time to start taking on some dangerous fights. You hate Vergil but he’s taking some chances. Personally I would LOVE to see bootsy vs ortiz. It has the makings of an absolute barnburner. But it takes 2 to dance

I've been following Crawford since he was at 135. Everybody knows why Ennis would rather talk about fighting Crawford than actually get in the ring with him. He had what? 2 chances? He was using Crawford's name for clout.

I like Norman, Jr. but his pops is going to derail his career.

What does anyone Ennis have fought had going on? An Email WBA title to join with his Email IBF title.

To be fair to Boots, he’s said he wants to be undisputed at 147 before moving up so if that’s his goal, I can’t knock him for that. I do agree that his career has been piss poorly managed thus far.
