Not saying Boots gets exposed like Broner did, I do think he’s a talented fighter, as was Broner too- he just lacked discipline more than anything. Boots is a good fighter but he’s absolutely nowhere near Crawford’s skill level IMO. He certainly hasn’t proven to be anyhow.
The comparisons to Crawford are very premature. Just because he replicates some of things Crawford does, doesn’t automatically make him the second coming. I remember back in 2012 and people were convinced AB was the next Mayweather because the style was comparable, the difference was Floyd was effective with that style against A class opponents whilst Broner was imitating that style against B/C/D class opponents. I see a similar comparison with Bud and Boots
Those were good fighters for sure (Maidana and Porter) but I will say at the time Madiana wasn't seen as much of a risk to them, he was a heavy favourite (I won a fortune) bu the perception was it was an easy win vs a favourable style and big name and it totally backfired.
Even Porter he was a big favourite to beat.
Yeah Maidana improved a lot under Garcia, got him using his jab and setting his shots up rather than just walking in.
I still didn’t expect him to take that fight though. I was expecting a past prime guy with name value like Mosley or Judah. Especially after how bad Broner looked at 147.
He actually won me over after De Marco, I was starting to think he might actually be an elite fighter but the Paulie fight really exposed him.
boots will retire undefeated, he is too good, trust me.
no one wants to fight him, his style is the hardest style to imitate in sparring, to figure out because he is an excellent adjuster.,
stanonis is no punk , neither is lipinets despite him being smaller and boots made them look like men fighting children, his fight against roiman was hard to watch, he beat the toughness out of roiman, to the point he quit in 3 rounds in his next fight against an unknown, roiman went from beating rashidi ellis to quitting against an unknown after fighting ennis
Lipinets was three years past his loss to Mikey Garcia at 140 and was coming off a draw against Custio Clayton when Ennis beat him. He has since lost twice more to unranked opposition.
Broner’s only good world title win was De Marco, the guy he fought at 130 was some Argentinian journeyman. 140 he was a gifted vacant title shot vs Allakhverdiev and then I suppose Paulie was a decent win but he was clearly the weakest champion at 147.
I give him full credit for fighting Maidana and Porter though, definitely could have found easier options. He still had A-side sway back then.

The comments in this thread are just wild.
All around.
On one hand we've got Adrien Broner apparently NOT being a babied and protected fighter and on the other we've got Boots being compared to RJJ...

I am not looking up sht for you.
I.e you cant. Dig them up boy, chop chop.
Otherwise shut your mouth.
You were already clowned online.
Dig them up then. Like you claimed you could and would.
Go on.
Now be a big man and post your address so you can call me a boy in person. Drop your location. Idc what people think on this app. I been on here before years ago under different name before I got banned. You was a punk then and a punk now.
Does anyone know what happen to Boston guy ? BostonGuy he had a different profile back then.
Couldn't possibly care less about what your old username was.
Either do what you said you were going to do or shut the fuck up. That's your options.
Nahh you bugging now. So now you are being beyond unreasonable now. I am past this boxing conversation once you made it racist. See people like you need the computer to hide beyond it because you're an cell. I would beat the dog sht out of you if you called me boy in person. Maybe the ********** YOU live around play those games I dont.
You wouldn't do shit you little BOY.
I have no clue what race you are and couldn't care less.
Listen boy, go and "dig up" the posts "clowning me" like you said they could and post them in here.
Then we can see their voluminous wisdom on the matter.
Who gives a fuck "what you seen"? No one considers you as some fountain of knowledge, I hate to break it to ya :lol1:

I'll call you what I want, you daft cunt :lol1:
Canelo could beat Toney. It's comical that you think because Crawford beat him, that Toney get's magical points for it. Toney isn't Crawford, they are total polar opposites as fighters.
That's like me saying James Toney in his prime got easily beaten by Drake Thadzi therefore Canelo beats him easily.
Sorry boy, Boxing just doesn't work like that.

Bro ner was good, he only really lost to garcia, maid ana and pac, but so did floyd.
Is bud going to let us see?
We know these guys play keep away
A faded Canelo will always be an easier out, than a prime guy like Ennis who shows all sorts of potential
Don't call me boy. Thats racist as he33. Keep it peachy.
I did below. I found the names. I even tagged you in that chat months ago. You could had done that your self. Trying to play it off like canelo beats Toney lol.

It was His Excellency, Loadedhand wraps, The ironmike and two orders that agreed with me.
Listen boy, go and "dig up" the posts "clowning me" like you said they could and post them in here.
Then we can see their voluminous wisdom on the matter.
One even said canelo wouldnt beat Michael Nunn. After what I seen. I dont think so either.
Who gives a fuck "what you seen"? No one considers you as some fountain of knowledge, I hate to break it to ya :lol1:
Yes, I know. Which is why I said your comparison doesn't make sense. Because Ennis is at that stage of his career where Broner was pre Maidana.
You said Broner "was never protected", that's totally incorrect. He was MORE babied and protected that both Ennis and Tank are, pre lost.
Post loss, no. But again that's because his value dropped thus had no choice. That's if he wants to make money. He couldn't fight the likes of Gavin Rees post Maidana and get away with it.
Go on they boy, chop chop.
"Dig up" these five people "clowning" me and let's see their oh so wise and informed view of the contrary.
This oughta be fun.

That's post Maidana he's talking about.
Before that, as Pauli said HIMSELF in the build up with his own fight with Broner; That he's a "Al Haymon creation" that fought nothing but bums and won a vacant belt off an unranked bum. He literally said that.
Because, pre loss, he was babied and HEAVILY protected. That's just a literal fact.
Oh really :lol1:
Go on then, "dig them up".
It was His Excellency, Loadedhand wraps, The ironmike and two orders that agreed with me. One even said canelo wouldnt beat Michael Nunn. After what I seen. I dont think so either.
I am also talking about post Maidana. I said this 3 times.

I will have to go back and find them post of the people disagreeing with your canelo over james toney.

No, not even an apt comparison.
Broner was like Floyd's little brother, who had some talent, but was undisciplined.
He was also too short to fight above 140.
Boots is physically already more talented than Crawford.
He's bigger & faster.
He also fights nothing like Crawford
Crawford's a more calculating "seek & destroy" type fighter, who likes to figure his opponents out.
He fights closer to RJJ & SRL with his athleticism, than he does Bud
