Boots needs to put on a show for Philly, then move to 154! Teofimo has called out Crawford, then Norman, but not Boots! There’s no one at 147, that brings legitimacy nor legacy, not even a big payday! Even Ryan is not going to fight Boots! 154 is where it’s at!

Algieri is spot on. Pacquiao should retire from boxing for good. He's built his career on lies, and now he's ruining boxing for everyone else.

Wait a minute. How is Boots the future of 147 and a four division champ to hear him tell it? And farting around too? It should have been him, instead of the the Enfermo who took Sue's zero. Now Boot's is up against Avanesyan, big fish little pond guy. Ave beat a poor imitation of Boots in the UK.

Clearing the way for a title fight for a 45 years old guy who hasn't fought for over 3 years says it all about the corrupt WBC ....the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Boots looks drainedpp

Ennis does not have a future at 147. Middleweight eventually but he should be looking at 154 now.

Just gong to respond to this, “ There’s no one at 147, that brings legitimacy nor legacy, not even a big payday!”.

Crawford beat Indongo, Postol and Dulorme to unify the 140 division.

I don’t disagree that the 147 division is not stacked with talent but similar to Crawford, unifying it can only bring more accolades. There is no reason to skip it when Boots can unify it by end of 2025.
