    Ennis just now got a belt at 147. Why go up to 154 to get back in line and be avoided there ?

    Or he could stop chasing Crawford just stay busy and keep destroying whoever they put infront of him and eventually the boxing world will take notice and demand a fight with Crawford. Isn't that what Benevidez did with Canelo? Now everyone is calling Canelo a coward for not fighting the best at 168(David Benevidez).

    What makes you think the big boys at 154 would be scared of boots? I dont think Fundura, Timmy or Charlo would be scared of boots. No offense but who has boots beat that those guys should scared of him? Gtfo. I think crawford beats boots easily. He destroys him.

    Boots is wasting time. He needs to move up in weight and challenge the top guys there.

    Boots Needs to Do SOMETHING Though Bruh???:Dont:...

    REED GETS the RJ Comparisons, In Terms of Boots' Pure Talent Level...But REED Also GETS the Boo Boo Andrade Comparisons In Terms of Career Trajectory...Granted, Boots is What, 9 Years YOUNGER Than Andrade???...Still, Boo Boo Should Be a CAUTIONARY Tale for Boots - Unfulfilled Talent that Eventually STALED and Was Cashed Out...

    Back When Triple G was Treading Water, Waiting On Canelo, REED Said Why Not Move Up to '68 and Face the Likes of Badou Jack and/or Chunky DeGale in the Meantime...Both Were Beltholders and Those Wins Would've Meant MORE than the Dominic Wade's and Willie the Worm Jr's GGG was Wiping His Ass w/In the Interim...

    And While GGG Eventually Got the Canelo Fights (& was Robbed in the 1st Bout, in REED's Opinion), His Career Still Wasn't What it Could/Should Have Been...

    Boots Isn't There YET, But 2024 is the Year to SHIFT the Momentum Trending Towards That Direction...It SUCKS Boots Has a BELT Now, Yet Still Can't Find Willing Welterweight Dance Partners, But it's Probably Time to INVESTIGATE Higher Weight Classes, Since That's the Case...

    Why Wouldn't Madrimov or Bohachuk or Brian Mendoza or Mando Ramos Fight a Boots Ennis??? It's Worth a Shot to TRY:Dont:...& Like Shakur Does, After TRYING to Make Those Fights, if Unsuccessful, Make the Fall Out in Negotiations PUBLIC...Name Names and Detail WHY they Decided Not to Fight You....

    You CAN'T Just Sit Back and Say "Guys Won't Fight Me, Guys Won't Fight Me", Even if/when it's TRUE...It was TRUE in the Case of Boo Boo Andrade and We SAW How That Worked Out for Him in the End....

    I dont agree. It's just the state of boxing. He can go up in weight and maybe madrimov would fight him. A dangerous fight against a guy no one has heard of, for probably the same amount of money ( or less as madrimov would want to get compensated to face someone as dangerous as ennis) he'd get to fight Crowley or whoever he defends his title against next.

    Beating a madrimov isn't gonna move the needle for him in terms of becoming a bigger star or crossing over

    The inactivity is the biggest problem. But it Ain't specific to ennis. EVERY t0p fighter is inactive except a handful

    You mention Andrade. He moved up in weight and how much did that help him get fights?

    Moving Up Helped Andrade Get THE ONLY Big Fight He's Managed to Have in Nearly 16 Years as a Pro Though...His ONLY PPV Headliner and CAREER HIGH Payday is a Result of Him Moving Up:Dont:...

    In Lieu of "Big" Fights, ACTIVITY is the Only Recourse...Aside from 3-5 Names, NO ONE is Going to Move the Needle in Terms of Boots Becoming a Bigger/Crossover Star, So Fight FREQUENTLY @ the Very Least???...

    Right Now, Boots Ennis is Treading Water, But That Doesn't Equate to PROGRESS...It's HIS Career So HE Has to Be More Proactive In GETTING To the Level his Talent Warrants...

    Whos paying him to fight?

    His activity was pretty good until the last few fights. The network he was signed to folded
