“The distinction is with Ennis, Ennis is not within the backend of his profession. Ennis is not coming off eye surgical procedure or a horrible automotive crash [like Errol Spence], or hasn’t had 80 fights [Canelo is a veteran of 68 professional contests].

“We need to beat the champions. We also would love a fight with Vergil Ortiz.
“All of those guys we have now to undergo and I do not see him shedding to any of them.
