    Come on. You can't tell me you're happy with the way Boots career is unfolding. I get that it's not easy to lure a big name into fighting you, when you're young, dangerous and pretty unknown, but fighting once a year against the Avanesyan (or whatever the fuck is name is) of thos world if definitvely not the right way to go.

    Hell, I recall that you were pretty critical of Boots when the Crowley fight was announced....

    So who should he fight, dumbfuck? :duck:

    These amphibious boxing managers don't offer any options of more qualified willing foes

    Breaking news: Canelo is running scared of Boots. If he had any guts, he'd drop down to 147 and face him. But nah, everyone is ducking Boots... the Jawbreaker because who wants their dental work rearranged for free?

    Teo was supposed to move up to welter for a Boots showdown

    Boots is a fantastic fighter.
    But he needs to tighten up that defense.
    Too in love with his offense,..which is A+

    Ennis would brutalize Lopez.
    It would be bad

    Boots is awesome to watch. Just a fun, exciting fighter even if he does have some holes in his defense. He at least gives the fans a show.

    Needs to start stepping up his competition. Not sure if he’s ready for Crawford just yet but he could potentially be a threat to him if he continues to improve.

    Boots is very live vs Crawford right now. I'm thinking I may even favor him but who really knows until he starts facing A class opposition

    Boots vs Ortiz at 154 would be fireworks. Potential fight of the year candidate.

    Of Course REED ISN'T Happy w/How Boots' Career Has Unfolded...But w/That Said, it's UNFAIR to Blame Boots...

    No ONE Entity Should Accept 100% of the Blame, But REED Lays the VAST Majority of Such @ the Feet of PBC...They've Basically WASTED Boots' Time, Advancing his Career MINIMALLY @ Best, in 10+ Fights...

    To the Degree REED was "Critical" of Boots, it was in a "Don't Just Sit There, DO Something?!" Kind of Way...Well, Boots DID Something Alright - Finally Leaving the Company That Showed Him LITTLE to No Genuine Interest and Signing w/Eddie Hearn...And Thru NO Fault of Boots', his IBF Mandatory Challenger Backed Out, Leaving Avanesyan as the BEST Possible Option for a 4-5 Week Replacement...

    When REED Said Some Fans Bitch just to Be BITCHING, it's as if they Don't Know the Facts/Timeline of Boots' Last Year Fighting on PBC Cards....People Act Like Avanesyan was the INTENDED Target All Along...

    Boots at this point absolutely NEEDS to move up to 154. There’s nothing at 147. Crawford ain’t coming back down. The fights he needs are all at 154 and if he’s not moving up, he’s not being well advised.

    Yeah, all the "Smoke" has Moved UP to '54...

    Boots is ALREADY Considered Faaaaaaaar and Away the Best of what Remains @ '47...REED Ain't Even Sure How REALISTIC Becoming Undisputed @ '47 is, so it's a Bit Curious How/Why Boots REMAINS There???...

    He's Obviously CUTTING Quite a Bit of Weight to Get Down to Welter...

    If NATHAN Else, There's a Deeeeeeeeeeeeeper Pool of Fighters to Choose From...Also, REED Doesn't Think PBC is Opposed to Boots Knocking Off Certain Guys Within their Stable, PBC Just Doesn't Want to PAY for It...

    The intended target was even worse than avanesyan.....

    As for the rest of the post, I'm not only entirely blaming boots, nor do i absolve him entirely. At the end of the day, Hes the one responsible for making fans interested in his career, and he has failed miserably in that regard, relatively to his talent (bar in Philly I guess). Him signing with Hearns seems like a positive move, but we will see

    The Only SLIVER of Leverage Boots Currently Has is the IBF Title...The "Intended Target" was His IBF Mandatory...And Undefeated...

    Id say his leverage is also matchroom. They overbid for the crowley fight so he made like 3 or 4 mill for that last fight

    If he leaves that title behind he has to go to 54 and wait in line for a minimum of a year most likely and even then matchroom can out bid everyone for his title shot but he gets the shit end of it 25% or whatever
