      No he's not. He has a deal with SHO and can only get the lower level PBC fighters. If he was Al, then that would be one thing but he's not with him. That's why he needs to get with one of the big power brokers of boxing in 2022. Can be PBC or TR or Matchroom or GBP. It doesn't even matter who, just someone.

        Danny Garcia lost to Javier Molina in the Olympic trials while Crawford lost to Sadam Ali and Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Did that matter for their pro success? Absolutely not.

        You can think Ennis is not going to be as good as people say he will be, but using him not making the Olympics team is not it.

            Anybody can have a bad fight or a bad decision. Andrade and Usyk didn't fight Porter back to back to back. Speaking of which both Andrade and Usyk are levels above Porter cause they did make the Olympic and Porter didn't. So I am not sure how you're arguing my point when in fact you're making it stronger.

            Obviously not every Olympian will turn great such as Loui Shimming, Felix Diaz and Mark Breland but most of them do turn great as I listed a lot of them in a post earlier.

              Here's Mike Tyson vs gold medalist Henry Tillman. Tillman is also the man to beat Tyson twice in the amateurs and prevent him from going to the Olympics.

                I am not saying he is not going to be as good as people say and I am not just using him not making the Olympics team. I say him not making the Olympics and not facing anybody worth anything in almost 30 fights in the pros cannot make me pick him to win against Crawford and Bud.

                    Amateur boxing means nothing. Remember Frankie Gavin's pro career? Neither does anybody else. Boxing is ALL ABOUT THE PRO RANKS. Nash out - Nash is constantly dropping knowledge from his basement.

                      Sure and you can put a video of him getting knocked out by Evander and Holyfield. You can post some videos of Wlad getting clubbered by no Olympians. Heck, post the video of Cotto beating Abdulaev.

                      The point stands with Ennis, in 30 fights he hasn't fought anybody and he is the biggest guy in the division. Mike Tyson was the smallest heavyweight and he did face much better opposition.
