Boots Ennis recently said that Errol Spence is a basic fighter and nothing special....says he has eyes on Crawford.
So if Ennis fought Crawford, in your opinion, who would win?
Ennis is totally unranked by all 4 alphabet groups and it's pretty easy to get ranked by at least one of them if the promoter is pushing him as the new big thing. Boxrec ranks him 66th in the world. He has never defeated a boxer even close to the top 50. He has no business being talked about as on the same level as Crawford or Spence yet.
Crawford wins easily and Spence wins even easier and knocks Ennis out. Who has Ennis ever fought to put him on the same level with the two best welterweights in the world. He calls Spence a basic fighter. Mikey said pretty much the same thing and couldn't hit Spence if he threw hands full of rice. Talk is cheap. Crawford and Spence are the proven good ones. Ennis is just a prospect who has proven very little yet.
Terence Crawford has maxed out at 147lbs; "Boots" Ennis is just starting to really move with ****ing Antonio Margarito dimensions (5'10, 74" reach).
Skill for skill may be a conversation, and who knows how much better Ennis gets with a few real fights, but Terence Crawford won't want that work in 3-4 fights, and that's obvious.
The guy he should be pushing for is Thurman if he wants a belt. I think he beats Thurman now due to styles. He needs more seasoning for Porter's roughhousing, but he's definitely not ready for Bud or the Truth
Do you really need to ask? Ennis looks like a great prospect but he hasn't even fought anybody in the top 50 yet. And Crawford is one of the best P4P fighters in the world.
