Strange when you realize that Boots is huge for 147 and has been for years. The cutting tricks catch up after a while. They age you more quickly. He may see a decline in his legendary "in the gym he is an all timer according to those who have seen him spar" skill set before he ever gets to a big fight.
People can say he is avoided, etc. But there are mandatories he has never pursued, turned down offers from Bud....if he is avoided that much, why isn't he fighting three times a year against guys to build a name? If he is the next coming of Ray Robinson as so many say, why isn't he going in against B level guys three or four times a year and smashing them to pieces in order to build his name up? If he is THAT GOOD than he would have a legion of fans calling for big fights, he would be a big name. Instead, he never fights and he has a tiny fan base.
There is simply something off about the whole thing. Either his team is the most inept bunch of morons ever to guide a fighter, or, they and Ennis know that he has weaknesses and they are terrified to get exposed. At this point, a fluke loss, say if by some miracle Ava catches him on the temple or chin and stops him, his career is majorly derailed, and the hype totally disappears.
Just makes very little sense, what we all hear from his sparring sessions, compared to his last two fights and the amount of hyperbole.
