Jaron Ennis looks great but there is a reason he didn't make the Olympics team

    I looked the the IBF rankings after that tweet thread here, Avy-something the one Crowley beat was #1 #2 was vacant, then it was Ennis. I was thinking he had a good argument there.
    Then Spence vs Ugas was made? WTF? Was I high?
    No issue with me if Terence and Errol prioritize fighting each other first

    With how boxing works I see Jaron getting a fight with one or the other down the line

    2022

    Jaron gets a major belt

    I think Jaron welterweight itinerary will include Keith Thurman, either Errol or Terence, and Vergil

    Jaron-Rashidi is a fan’s fight!

      who wins this fight that just popped into my head:

      Yellusunov v Ellis
      Yeah idk wsup with Rashidi

      he’s the most athletic fighter at 147

      has that black man silly handspeed

        Porter handled Andrade and Usyk in the amateurs. Those guys went to the Olympics and Porter didn't. End of amateurs stories.

          He has obviously gotten so much better now. Stop living in the past...

            It doesn't make sense that David Morrell with only 6 fights has had better competition and now David Morrell will get the WBA belt cause Canelo won't fight him. Boots hasn't been moved properly and if he can't get good fights in 2022 then it's all on him. He got Al Hayman he is big and he can go to 154 where there are no cash cows or prima donnas then come back when he is the mandatory for some of these divas at 147
            Because he can't snap his fingers and make a fight with Ugas, Crawford and Spence.

              vergil Ortiz doesn’t look anywhere near as impressive but gets no scrutiny

              people see greatness with Jaron and dunno how to take it
              Yeah it's a compliment to Ennis that he's getting this much scrutiny already. With great power comes great responsibility I guess.

              I don’t think he with Haymon?
              Golden Boy unfortunately. They have no idea how to promote black fighters.

                Yeah Rashidi is your proverbial athletic black fighter with fast hands

                an athletic specimen like Mike Tyson Roy Jonez Shane Mosley

                people should be tuning into his fights by virtue of handspeed alone

                  He looks the goods against no talent punching bags. I just don't think he can beat both Terrence and Spence both of whom made the Olympic teams and both of them are proven commodities. So if you have 3 fights against Garry Russell and you lose the 2nd and the 3rd fights and this has been your biggest competition in the past 6 years I just can't pick you to beat proven, equally talented fighters. We haven't seen Boots's condition tested, his chin tested, his heart tested, his size tested. He's been the most carefully matched prospect really.

                  THANK YOU!!!!

                  I think Gary Russell beats him now in the pros.

                    - - Best fighters seldom come out of the Olympics and the Groundhog Gary safety style has killed modern American boxing. Those guys can't, don't, won't fight, but look how they can pop corn while skeetering in reverse around the ring.

                    Bootsie at least comes to fight and will get his test soon enough. What U excuse?
