“Wish to see Boots fight Devin Haney? Ortiz. Ortiz. Ortiz. That’s just the underside line,” said Bill to Million Dollaz Price of Game.
Although Zayas recently captured a world title and continues constructing momentum as considered one of boxing’s younger stars, Bill’s comments suggested he doesn’t place the Puerto Rican champion in the identical category as Vergil yet.
The discussion also turned awkward when Bill briefly hesitated after being asked whether Boots was already a proven fighter.
“Jaron Boots Ennis he what?” said Haney. “Is he proven?” He’s battle-tested.”
Others around him immediately reacted to the pause.
“That’s too long a considering, man,” said Bill. “He said he battle tested.”
Bill later returned to the topic of Vergil, making it clear he believes that matchup would answer more questions on Boots than a fight against Zayas.
“That’s an entire different form of fight. People already know what form of dog he’s,” said Bill.
Vergil has continued constructing a fame as considered one of the division’s most dangerous pressure fighters due to his power, aggression, and willingness to take difficult fights. Zayas, meanwhile, remains to be viewed by many fans as developing despite already becoming considered one of the youngest champions in boxing.
The discussion around Ennis has intensified since his move toward junior middleweight following his run at welterweight, where he dominated most of his opposition but still faced criticism over the extent of his biggest wins.
Bill also made clear that Devin has no plans to return to lightweight while discussing possible future fights around welterweight and junior middleweight.
“When you go up, you never return down,” said Bill.
