Bill Haney claims Jaron “Boots” Ennis avoided Devin Haney for 147 pounds and missed “big bag” and chose 154 instead


Devin Haney’s father, Bill Haney, says Jaron’s “boots” Ennis missed the “big bag” fight at 147 by choosing to move to 154 without facing him. Bill says Brian Norman Jr. and Theofimo Lopez couldn’t bring the money Devin would fight Ennis.

Bill is talking about money, not talent. WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 Kos) is a nightmare for Ennis compared to Devin, who looked like a yo-yo on top and bottom of canvas last year. Teofimo will be a difficult battle for boots too. It’s no wonder he chose to travel to 154 rather than staying at 147.

Bill Haney hits Ennis’ choice

“The biggest bag of boots was Devin at 147. That fight was on the boot table. I respect his move to 154, but let’s be authentic. xsuggests that Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis made a career mistake by moving to 154 without fighting Devin Haney at 147.

If Bill wanted Devin to fight his boots badly enough, he offered to get him to 154 to fight him. As Haney rehydrated until the mid-160s, he’s big enough to go up to junior middleweight to face Ennis in that weight class. It would be better for Devin to lose to the boots than Devin stays at 147 and be beaten by Richardson Hitchins.

Haney-Hitchins: Low-fabric battle

If he’s going to fight the Hitchens, Haney doesn’t have a lot of fabric as he’s not popular and beats people to watch. No, George Cambosos doesn’t count, nor does Liam Paro. Unless Turki Alalshikh is interested in funding the battle between Haney vs. Hitchins, that fight is not worth taking on Devin. So Devin would be better off moving up to 154 to chase after Ennis.

Eddie Hearn of Ennis at 154

“It was a very difficult decision last month. Imagine what he’s going to do with 154,” Eddie Hearn said. Matchroom Boxing About Jaron Ennis. “He said, ‘I’m not as strong as myself. Look at me at 154,” Hearn said of what Boots told him. “This guy will be scared not only next year or so, not just 154, but not just 154, but also next year or so. He’s a huge guy.”

What we know is that the boot had the opportunity to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. last February and didn’t take it. He then had the shot by facing Theofimo Lopez, but he didn’t pull the trigger for that fight either. He didn’t play a unified match against Brian Norman Jr. What we’re looking at here is fighter jets who find a reason not to take on the tough challenge. Instead of Ennis taking these three murderers, he chose to fight Eymantas Stanionis.

“These extra 7 pounds will be huge for his performance. So, back in August or September, we’re all ready: Virgil Ortiz, Murtazariev, Fandra, who you want.
