Controversial Opinion: I think Ennis beats Crawford and Spence

[Sheldon312]

Everyone is a monster fighting all these unproven unknown low-tiers. He stopped the glass chin Dulorme similarly. Who’s to say Clayton ever had any durability or balls? Lipinets who has a proven toughness (but zero defense) handled his punches (even that blatant rabbit punch, and many lowblows) much better. So just like what you saw with Zepeda, things change big time when you step up.

So why does Crawford get so much praise?

Smoke? No, you aren't smoking someone like Spence or Crawford. But I've been telling RJJ-94-02=GOAT for a while that he beats both of them.

Anyone can be smoked & there is nothing special about either of them tbh. Both world class but neither are anything special or too write home about.
Crawford would never take that fight anyway & I doubt Spence does either. They'd sooner finally fight each other than get that work.

Boots vs Thurman next would be solid but Thurmans ego wont ever take that fight

[Gary Coleman]

He will be the next reigning champ because Bud is gonna beat Spence then move up leaving all the belts vacant for Boots to clean up one by one. Ortiz will grab one and 13 years from now they'll fight for undisputed lol

13 years

Boots is talented and big enough move between 147-154 like Floyd did. Bud ain't safe jumping up in weight.

They will serve Ugas up for Boots next watch. Ugas seems like he will fight anyone and he's not worth much to PBC now that he lost to Spence. He is a known name and would be a big step up in competition for Boots but Ennis would still be favored to win handily I am guessing.

I don’t think he beats either if they fought next. I wanna see Boots fight somebody who will test him. Would love to see him face Ugas or Thurman next. If he disposes of those guys then he’s unquestionably ready for the elite at 147.

I think he could end up at 160.

He is definitely impressive. He and Ortiz are the future of the division.

I would like those fights but will Thurman fight him next? Boots got his way to a title shot so either the winner of Spence/Bud will have to fight him or he will get the vacant title shot. Once he wins a title, it will be a bit easier for him to get some big fights.

Both Spence and Crawford will be tough fights obviously, but I don't think people realize just how focused this young man is with his boxing. He does nothing else but stay in the gym and train. Crawford can switch and is a very good athlete yet Boots has even more athletic gifts than him. The Spence fight would be something to watch and I would love to see how he would handle a technical pressure fighter like Spence but Boots is very strong and will have his counter opportunities. He will also be able to land from the outside and would be able to jab with Spence.

PLEASE give us one of these two fights at either 147 or 154.

No one beats Bud in a Fantasy Fight
