Some people love to hate!Originally posted by The D3vil View PostBut when Boots Ennis gets hit in a 12-0 shutout, it's because he has no defense.
You can't make this shxt up
Terence Crawford, too.
You can't win with these people.
You don't get hit like Shakur, Devin, or Floyd, you're running.
You take more risks & get hit while still dominating, it's "your defense bad"
Boots has all the attributes to be a great boxer, in my opinion. He's got speed, skill and isn't afraid to mix it up because he's confident in his conditioning and chin. To criticize him for getting hit is silly, his style is pleasing to the eye....Comment

Most fights involving Americans deserve undercard-level treatment. Fans see too much running and disengaging terrified of getting hit. Tha's why I always say Probox TV type fights are more entertaining to watch. And so I no longer look forward to so-called big expensive fights. It's been obvious they just came for the paycheck.Comment

Haney will never be a PPV attraction. He desperately needs a rematch with Ryan if he ever wants to earn 8 figures again. Problem is he stinks out the house with his running and wrestling it won’t matter who he fights. Rolly is as much a hype job as Ryan, he’ll lose by decison in a snooze fest.Comment

he didnt mention boots! but he said american fighters such as haney, shakur, etc. get treated that way because it's the culture.Originally posted by The D3vil View Post
american fighters also put this upon themselves, making strong claims that they are the best or that their opponents cannot beat them, etc..
so when the knockdown happens, people will clown them for it because of what was said prior to the fight.
he mention that japanese culture is not like this and that they respect each other, etc.

Boots made a solid start to changing the way that people talk about him by finally increasing his level of competition. People give Inoue a pass because he's fought the best available competition his entire career. Look at how many champions and ranked fighters each has fought as a percentage of their career, and you might start to understand why Boots has gotten flak. Would he still be undefeated if he'd challenged himself the same way Inoue did? Who knows, because he didn't do it. His team has a long history of avoiding tough fights and then complaining about being ducked himself.Originally posted by The D3vil View Post
Or, you could look at the win-loss ratio of their opponents. Inoue's opponents have over a 90% win rate, and all but a handful were ranked. Boots' have something like 62%, and he's ONLY fought a handful of ranked opponents. One is getting clipped finally in his fifth weight class at the world title level with something like 26 title fights. The other is getting clipped by C level opponents in his first division.
The Stanionis fight went a long way to helping Ennis prove his case, and I hope he gets the other two champs at 147, but he's nowhere even worth talking about in comparison to Inoue, frankly, now, or maybe even ever if he keeps letting his dad turn down fights.

I think Haney is definitely scared to take a punch.
That in no way means Inoue wanted to take that shot in the 2nd round. He got countered and caught.
That he got up and went in to win imo shows how good he is.Comment

Based on what? Not trying to lump you in with the rest but people shlt on Crawford saying his resume is trash but he's an elite fighter, yet booty ennis resume IS trash and he's looked bad against terrible opposition and you guys are hyping him up.Originally posted by LarryMerchant'sBottle View Post
Not to mention he's turned down fights against Crawford AND Ortiz
So it's not hating if its factsComment
