Tim Bradley says Jaron “Boots” Ennis does not qualify as the next goat [greatest of all time] like Shakur Stevenson Because he did not show courage to take more fight when he was offered. Bradley claims that Ennis has no faith.
Qualification of goat status
Bradley’s boxing analyst and commentator states that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) does not avoid such lightweight Shakur masters. He says that “shoes” decided not to take the fight with Teofimo Lopez, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Tim Tsyzyu in the past. It attributes to Ennis the lack of “balls”.
Lack of courage of Ennis
“There are no balls. His actions showed me that he did not trust himself. The fighter is a boss, not a manager,” said Tim Bradley on his own YouTube Channel, lowering Jaron “Boots” Ennis. “
“This man had so many opportunities to fight the best fighters. He could fight Tim Tieszeu and Teofimo Lopez. He did not do it. He could fight Vegil Ortiz. He did not do it. Why? Why? No balls.”
Ennis showed interest in the fight against Terenka Crawford, but quickly left the division of 147 pounds after winning what was left of Errola Spence after his swift car accident in 2019.
Crawford did not show the desire to fight Ennis, and his comment by McIntyre Brian “Bomac” McIntyre reflected it last Sunday. Instead of just saying that Crawford does not want to fight “bots”, he turned him, saying that Ennis did not want to fight him.
“Then you have a guy like Shakur who calls everyone and nobody answers the phone,” said Bradley.
Avoiding Shakur Stevenson
Tim is a bit without attention about fighters who do not want to face Shakur. Unbeaten lightweight pretenders, Andy Cruz and Jadier Herrera, expressed interest in fighting him. Stevenson rejected the explanation of the Cuban artist Herrera (17-0, 15 KO).
It seems that Bradley could not keep up with the news of Shakur’s career to know how he was maneuvered by his promoters and ignored the threats from the rivals who insist on fighting him. Tim sounds like he has slept under the stone for the last year, completely unaware of avoiding and careful preparation, which was made of Shakur.
Jadier Herrera expresses interest in the fight with Shakur:
When Shakur had the opportunity to fight the 23-year-old Jadier at the beginning of this year on February 22, when Floyd Schofield withdrew from the last moment because of his illness, he chose electrician Josh Padley as a deputy. What does this tell you?
“Shakur Stevenson turned around [the] overcome! … I’m 100% ready, “Herrera said in March 2025 on YouTube.
The relentless chase of Andy Cruz
“I am a golden standard in this division. Shakur, you know that I am coming for you. I am ready to unite, take these lanes. Let’s see who is the best in 135,: Andy Cruz said to fight Hub TV after winning in winning in Hironori Mishiro on June 14, 2025.
What does this tell you? Olympic gold medalist 2020 Cruz chased Shakur like a hungry predator, sending him that he was running to a 140-pound division to temporarily facilitate pressure.

Tony Bellew is going against the grain for tonight’s Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch.
The pair meet again just five months on from their thrilling first encounter, with Dubois now WBO champion having won the belt from Wardley via eleventh round stoppage.
After surviving two early knockdowns, the Londoner – who is now in his second stint as heavyweight titlist – took over the contest with a solid jab setting up thudding attacks that exhausted Wardley.
Though the Ipswich man stayed on his feet throughout, referee Howard Foster waved it off as the punishment because too much.
It is how the fight ended, and those last few rounds in which Dubois was largely dominating, that make him a strong favourite to retain his belt.
Giving his prediction to the BBCformer cruiserweight world champion Bellew backed Wardley to have success early again, but capitalise fully this time and end it.
“I’m going to be the difference. I am going to back Fabio Wardley by knockout within six rounds. Yep, I said [it]. I’m going for Fab within six.”
Dubois was on the canvas within ten seconds last time out, and took a knee in the third when hurt again.
Bellew has questioned Dubois’ resolve in the past, pointing to his stoppage loss to Joe Joyce as proof that there is a point he can be pushed to that he is not willing to go beyond. Many, however, will look to the first Wardley performance and disagree.
Both men recorded the highest weights of their careers on the scalessuggesting that neither will be changing the gameplan to a more measured affair, rather looking to engage in round 13 from the off tonight at London’s O2.
Top trainer Peter Fury has offered his expert analysis on the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, believing it is still a 50/50 fight.
Others, meanwhile, will argue that Dubois should be made a considerable favourite, based on how he was able to dismantle Wardley in their first encounter.
In order to do so, the ‘Dynamite’ puncher was compelled to climb off the canvas in rounds one and three, having been put down by blows to the top of his head.
Proceedings then became a little one-sided as Dubois, utilising his fundamentals, managed to score an 11th-round finish with his thudding jab and superior footwork.
Wardley, however, wasted little time before activating the rematch clause in their contract and, in turn, securing the chance to reclaim his WBO title at London’s O2 Arena tomorrow evening.
Many will argue that such a swift turnaround could lead to his downfall while, due to his power and toughness, others would suggest that the 31-year-old is always dangerous, no matter the opponent standing across from him.
As such, coach Fury has told Boxing King Media that, while Dubois is rightfully brimming with confidence, it would be foolish to entirely dismiss Wardley’s attributes.
“I think it’s a great heavyweight fight – Dubois has got heavy hands and a good jab as well, so it’ll be interesting.
“You’ve got to say Wardley’s got it all to do, because the confidence of Dubois will be high. And if Dubois’ super confident, he’s a problem.
“But let’s see – Wardley was able to hurt Dubois early on. I still think that fight is a 50/50 fight.”
If he emerges victorious against Wardley, then Dubois will likely be targeting a unification match with Agit Kabayel or Filip Hrgovic in 2027.
Daniel Dubois will face Fabio Wardley in a rematch of a heavyweight slugfest from earlier this year, with Dubois defending the WBO heavyweight title he took from Wardley on that night.
