According to Jaron “Boots” Ennis, there’s no reason why Terence Crawford shouldn’t be facing him next.

The Philly native always believed that he was ready both mentally and physically. Still, he knew good and well that Crawford had other business to attend to. This past weekend, however, the road was essentially cleared for Ennis.

On July 29th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Crawford made it look incredibly easy against now former unified welterweight champion, Errol Spence Jr. Although the Dallas native has revealed that he plans on activating his immediate rematch clause, Ennis will attempt to do his best to insert himself into the equation.

Tim Bradley, after hearing Ennis call Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) out on numerous occasions, believes that the 26-year-old needs to slow his roll a bit. As the newly inducted Hall of Famer sifts through his resume, he has a hard time recognizing anyone that’s listed.

“I respect Ennis but who the hell has Boots fought?” Questioned Bradley to FightHype.com.

Despite Bradley’s words, Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs) is continuing to bang the drum. When last seen, the smooth switch-hitter took out Roiman Villa, beating him senseless over the course of 10 rounds before he was violently stopped.

By and large, the fate Villa suffered has become the norm for Ennis’ opponents. Bradley, nevertheless, isn’t entirely impressed with what Ennis has done. Sure he holds the IBF interim title and has dished out the sort of beatings that could change careers and alter lives, but in Bradley’s opinion, Ennis is still swimming in the kiddy pool. If in the not-so-distant future he’s given the chance to take a dive in the deep end, Bradley is convinced that Ennis will be in for a rude awakening.

“You can be riding that wave. You been getting all these knockouts of all of these different guys but you never been in the ring with an animal like Crawford.”
