Idc if I get called a fanboy or whatever.
I say what I see and ain't nobody beating him anytime soon.

I don't agree with ducking but these WWs need to just do what they're doing already and act like he doesn't exist. Give him the Rigo treatment for the sake of your career. Even it means stalling your own career until he moves up just do it, you don't want that smoke.

There are certain athletes, very few but sometimes you get a freak of nature that against other elite athletes just make them look almost like everything around them is in slow motion.
Guys like Lionel Messi, RJJ.

Boots has that.
Its his ability to process things in a split second and to react off it.

Him being at WW its almost unfair. It should be illegal.

Anyway that is enough d1ck riding for the day... lol

thats a good buildup for him, he may be dominant or he may come unstuck, we all love hypejobs tho, its what makes boxing in some ways, there always needs to be the next great thing

You know it’s a rubbish thread when the first two replies are by the thread starter.

Anyway, he has obvious talent but many fighters have had great talent and never turned out to be what some thought. Let him fight a top 15 fighter first, or a top 10, then win a title, And we might start talking about him cleaning out a couple of divisions.

he has fought two decent names, one coming off 2 losses and the other coming off a draw with a Canadian nobody. He was still fighting guys with more losses than wins in his 14th fight.

RJJ-94-02=GOAT can tell you I've been saying this for a while as well lol.

Beating Spence/Crawford will not be easy but bring it on!

I've said it before & I will say it again. And its not an overreaction for beating Dulorme who frankly just isn't very good.

NOBODY at WW or 154 beats Boots. I'm honestly not sure 160 has anything to offer right now either.

I don't care for resumes or the infamous eye-test that guy is something special and the closest thing you're ever going to see in your lifetime to another RJJ. Enjoy and appreciate it.

Thurman and all these guys were never anything to write home about, Porter all of them.

I tell you now they will all duck him apart from probably Porter as he is the only one with a pair of balls but Boots will go through him like a hot knife through butter. I know nobody has really had it easy with him but all of them combined wouldn't make a Jaron Ennis.

None are even competitive. There are levels and in terms of speed, power, precision, athleticism whatever aspect you like he is 2-3 levels above the next best thing at WW.

All I see is a row of dead men prolonging the inevitable.

For the benefit of the WW we need him to move up so it can go back to being competitive.

If I'm being honest, I'm not sure he beat Vergil Ortiz

Yeah you have in fairness. With the right matchmaking he’ll be ready for anybody. The kid has bags of talent.

Castano-Boots would be absolute fireworks!

Still gonna have to see how he does against Top 10 welterweights though.

His chin gets checked too much ..comparing him to Roy Jones is ridiculous he does have bags of talent and a decent chin though..but moving up a weight and taking full blooded shots on the button won't be a good thing for him
