Crawford gets hit daily often as well. It's not Shakur and Ennis's fault they are avoided.

I don't believe in over 30 fights that Ennis has never had an opportunity to fight more top 10 Welterweights.

Last week, Shakr put on a masterclass by dominating a top 10 guy (not losing any rounds). Yesterday, after a year's layoff, Ennis came in and completely dominated David (not losing any rounds) and stopped David earlier than Crawford did. Yet.... both are constantly receiving too much criticism. Look, I understand that Shakur could be a little more active but name another fighter at 135 (outside of Tank and Maybe Loma) who would be favored over Shakur. Same with Ennis, I see no one at 147 beating the guy and the only guys at 154 who have a chance are Crawford and Ortiz (50/50). The boxing community complains about Shakur being too defensive and not active enough but when Ennis comes in there and puts defense to the side and completely dominates David offensively, "Oh, he gets hit too much." I am starting to believe that the boxing community is not a fan of "boxing" but a fan of "Boxers". Go back and watch Crawford vs Ava and Crawford fought Ava the exact same way and was getting hit just as much if not more than Ennis. Let's also not forget that Ennis had not fought for a year and Ava was a quick replacement for Cody. Shakur vs Tank is a 50/50 fight on paper because Shakur is the more textbook boxer with the better defense while Tank is the more powerful/durable fighter out of the two.

Crawford is not some defensive wizard and has been hurt by lesser fighter than Ennis and Tank has not been in the ring with someone who posses the skills that Shakur does. Like, can the boxing community make their minds up? Are we fans of the sweet science or not? Do we want to see action or not?

Excellent post I couldn't agree more. Boxing fans now have agendas and aren't really fans of boxing just fighters. They can never keep it real and just hate on guys they don't like unfairly while praising guys they like as if they're the second coming.
