The Boots Ennis hype is unreal

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

If he's believe he's ready, let him go.

I just wouldn’t want to see another Fernando Vargas situation.

I just wouldn’t want to see another Fernando Vargas situation.

You don't wanna see fighters fight?

If he is the top mandatory and wants the fight, let him do it. If he ends up like Vargas so be it because Vargas gave up some good fights.

[SUBZER0ED]

He’s not fought anyone REMOTELY significant. I looked up his amateur record and saw he lost 3 times to the same guy, Gary Antuanne Russel, who is 15-0 professionally with 15 KO’s. Why is no one saying he’s the greatest?? He whipped Boots 3 times.

You can't necessarily judge a pro by someone who had his number in the amateurs. Boots also won silver and gold medals in the National Golden Gloves Championships. He's a talent but ultimately, his pro career will be judged by how he does in future fights against top opposition. Right now, he's making easy work of fighters who at least seemed somewhat solid before facing him.

I hate to break it you but as good as Ennis' upside and potential is; I just don't see him defeating either Bud Crawford or Errol Spence, Jr, while they are yet still in their primes.

It's just not going to happen. You don't want to ruin this kid by cashing him out to soon. So please be patient with him. His time is coming. He is the future of the division.

That is the type of mentality that results in big fights constantly never happening in boxing. He has had 29 fights, how many more does he need to fight the top guys? Screw waiting, people want to see the best vs the best. Its clear Ennis is better than anyone either of them have fought so no reason to wait years until Spence and Crawford and past their prime and the fight almost becomes pointless. This is the problem with boxing. In MMA these fights would be booked in 6 months.

I’d like to see them fight in about 12 months. Let Ennis have at least one or ideally two more learning fights and let Spence and Crawford finally get at it. Spence/Crawford vs Ennis are fights for 2023 at the earliest IMO.

Why can't I believe he can beat the best????

I’d agree if he was beaten ONCE by the same guy but 3TIMES!!??

Who has Ennis either challenged or defeated on his resume to even deserve a title shot a Spence? I will answer it for you none.

I understand the fans frustration with Crawford and Spence not happening sooner enough because they are both are contemporaries and peers of the same fighting era. They've both came along around the same time.

However, you cannot tell me that a fighter like Jaron Ennis that is at least seven years Spence's junior are equals in both championship experience and skills.

No, he is of a whole new batch and generation of younger and potential welterweight champions like: Eimantas Stanionis, Vergil Ortiz, Jr, Cody Crowley and Conor Benn.

[KTFOKING]

Yeah that was a nasty injury. Thurman would be perfect to give him some name recognition too.

It's not only the name recognition, he's still a good fighter. Still has something left in the tank and can box well. Like I see Benn calling him out and I'm telling you, Thurman will beat him and it won't be that difficult.

You could ask the same question to most of their opponents. What did Amir Khan or Kell brook do to deserve shots ? Be exposed as non elite fighters? This whole concept of 'what have they done to earn ' is such bs and just an excuse to duck. Ennis clearly is a very good fighter already and would give them a better challenge than at least all their recent opponents, so if they deserved the fights then so does he. Whos benefit are you arguing for here exactly?
