If there is one fight that every single fan wants to see at 147, it must be between IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis and former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Everyone got excited when the 32-0 boxer expressed his desire to fight Bud, as this might be one of the best fights one could have asked for.

But the hope died down instantly when the 37-year-old Omaha native moved up to Light Middleweight and even flat out refused to entertain the potential fight. According to the 41-0 boxer, he had nothing to gain from this fight and it is understandable considering he is at the latter stages of his career now. While every fan slowly lost all hope, Ennis was still holding on to it. But it looks like even Boots has given up now, and he doesn’t expect anything from Terence Crawford.

Jaron Ennis is tired and frustrated

‘The Stomping Ground’ asked Ennis about the idea of the Terence Crawford fight and the Philadelphia native was visibly furious at the question. He stated, “I’m tired of answering your questions about it,” with a huge sigh. He continued, stating how Crawford has completely shut down the idea of the fight again and again. “He(Crawford) already said millions of times that he’s not fighting me or looking my way,” stated Ennis, trying to explain the situation.

The 27-year-old then explained that he had lost all hope of the fight happening. Even though he wants the fight and wants to prove himself against one of the greatest welterweights ever, he has accepted the situation. He stated, “If the fight happens, it happens. I want it to happen, but if not…”

While Boots has made peace with the fight not happening, he does not agree with what Crawford’s camp had to say about him. Earlier this year, Bud’s longtime trainer Brian “Bomac” McIntyre shut down the questions of a potential fight stating Ennis “don’t bring nothing to the table.”

According to Bomac, the fight with Jaron Ennis does not make sense for Bud at this stage of his career. Bomac further stated, “He(Ennis) got our leftovers” in reference to the IBF welterweight title that was handed over to Boots. Naturally, the comments did not sit well with the Philadelphia native as he hit back at the boxer-trainer duo.

Boots hit back at Terence Crawford

While addressing the comments, Ennis talked about how Crawford has fought many boxers who had nothing on him. “He has fought other fighters that didn’t have nothing. He fought David Avanesyan too.” This is not the first time when Boots has cited his frustration with Crawford’s choice of opponents. So, according to the 32-0 boxer, “none of that stuff makes sense.” While he understood the point that Terence Crawford is at a point “where he could fight whoever he wants and pick whoever he wants,” he is not fine with being sidelined completely.

With Crawford being in the twilight years of his career, it is understandable that he wants to leave a legacy at 154. He already holds the WBA super welterweight title and the WBO interim super welterweight title and might want to become an undisputed champion at 154 as well.

With Ennis still having unfinished business at 147, we might never see this fight unless something major happens. While this fight would most probably headline any event, the chances of it happening are very slim right now.
