Boots team dont want it. They dont want no smoke unless its Vergil. I grew up in the 4 King era. today is a pale comparison. Even Floyd had to go through Corrales because he was a threat to his supremacy. Thats why I respect Devin. Boots wouldnt fight Norman. a guy we know he would have likely beaten.
Facts, he doesn't want to take the risks to be great. Boots wants to fast track himself with the Vergil fight, thinking it's his jackpot fight.. not realizing he needed to beat more guys along the way
- Had a chance to face Ugas at 147, passed on it
- Had a chance to face Bud at 147, passed on it
- Had a chance to face Norman Jr at 147, passed on it
- Has a chance to face Bahkram at 154 for the IBF title, passed on it
Then he wonders why he can't get the big fights
This is why I call him this generation's Booboo Andrade. Wants to get the titles the easiest way and least resistance possible
