Comments Thread For: Jaron Ennis has eyes on junior middleweight: 'That weight is poppin' right now'

Turki wants to make Crawford vs Ennis, but Bud is not keen at the moment.

Understandable in a way, but the money would be great, why not do it.

He might as well move up now , nobody at 47 is going to sack up and fight him to Unify , to their eternal shame. If I was him I'd find a way to fight at 54 but keep that belt at 47 just so none of the other guys who wouldn't fight can't get it .

He should pull a Lamont Roach. Go up to fight one of the three 154 beltholders while allowed to keep the 147 belt, and stay at 154 with a belt if he wins, and go back to 147 if he loses still as the beltholder.

Yeah , you pretty much summed it up perfectly , there's definitely a much better chance of getting that marquee fight at 154 , everyone at 147 has made it really clear that they won't fight Ennis. They ought to be ashamed of themselves , they're supposed to be fighters , calling themselves Champions but won't attempt to unify. If you call yourself Champion in a division, how can you tolerate someone else calling them Champion of that same division ? Man , that's fighting words , or at least it ought to be. Ennis should show up at Barrios next fight , go in the ring after , bltch slap him and take his belt. Then do that to Stannionis and Norman too.

Something like that might work. These champions need to be publicly embarrassed for avoiding him. But on the other hand he says:

“I've been chasing everybody. I've been chasing Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jnr, Keith Thurman – I've been chasing all of these guys. Ask Crawford. Ask them."

Those are his first targets? What is wrong with him? He has nothing to offer to Terrence Crawford - no title, no money no name recognition for legacy and Spence and Thurman might as well be retired. If they are not retired, they are sitting and waiting for a big money fight at 154 - which clearly is not Boots Ennis.

So he does not want to relinquish his IBF belt but at the same time he is calling guys at 154 who have no interest in him at all. It is like me challenging Mike Tyson for a fight at middleweight with Scarlet J in my corner (if you know what I mean).

We no you don't know ****! He's not even 30 asswipe!

Hyperbole??low level human here folks..however he is not as low of a human as the super raci.st he has on his avatar.

[TroofTeller]

We no you don't know ****! He's not even 30 asswipe!

Also..it may have been a simple gaffe on your['re lol!!!) Behalf, "We know " not "no."

Hell, I'd settle for that! if that's what its going to take to actually see some action, so be it. Loosing in a different weight class doesn't disqualify a fighter from being champion in another weight class. I see nothing wrong with fighters camapgining in two divisions as long as they make weight. Actually, I'd like to see move of it.

I was being sarcastic at first, but upon thinking about it twice it actually could be a legit move that Boots should consider. He's gotta show something eventually, and staying at 147 fighting the Karens of the world, or at best an unification with the likes of a Barrios isn't going to add much to his value. I actually think Murtazaliev and his promoter would be up for it. Crawford and Fundora will definitely not be wanting to fight him in an unification because the money won't be good, but fighting Boots and winning convincingly would be probably better money/coverage than fighting Erick Lubin or Xander Zayas IMO. At the least, he'll be able to get the group of Spence fans turned Boots "fans" to claim him as a guy Crawford is ducking yadayada.

If Boots wins against Murtazaliev who absolutely destroyed Tszyu, then even if Crawford still refuses to fight him, at the least his pool of opponents available would be much better.

Move your scaryass up bum

[Bullrider]

He should have offered Brian Norman 50/50 on the purse split. There's no A-side in that fight. At least Norman got his belt by beating Santillan, not by email.

[LAchargers373]

He said “maybe” to 154 lmao. He can unify with barrios who already been KTFO by a LW lol. I was a big ennis guy but this **** is getting ridiculous
