Comments Thread For: Mario Barrios' Trainer Believes That a Showdown Against Vergil Ortiz Would Be a Mega Fight

Pump the brakes! Rashidi Ellis, Radzhab Butaev, or Jamal James, would make more sense!

No pumping of the break's! If Barrios is feeling froggy let him jump, Pit Bull Ortiz (so to say), will have frog leg's as an appetizer.
Now that's not to filling, so he might still have room for one of the stated boxer's above for the main course (lol).
I just don't think that Barrios is good enough to beat any of these four fighter's, he can be competitive against them for a couple of rounds, but then it's curtain's for him.

Barrios will not win a welterweight title against ANYONE named in this article. He may win a vacant against some other chump. But that’s about it

Agreed!

I used to think that Ortiz vs Ennis would be a real good fight, but after reading your explanation for why Ortiz losses to Ennis, I have to agree with you.
Vergil Ortiz is too one dimensional to compete against the multi-talented Jaron "Boots" Ennis, but I would still definitely like to see that fight.

I sent an article, it was not my explanation of why Vergil loses, only to point out that Bozy Ennis said, back when Vergil was with Robert Garcia, Robert said "Vergil wouldn't be ready for 4-5 years," so it wasn't Boots who didn't want the fight!

That was a sad commentary on Robert Garcia's part, because all he was saying is that he didn't want Ortiz fighting/losing to Ennis.
You have to believe in the fighter that you're training, or what is the point of being associated with him, 5 years that's ridiculous.
I'm glad that Ortiz got out of that trainer if he was hold him back for 5 year's, that makes absolutely no sense at all to basically stall a boxers career like that.

However, under new trainer, they went to the WBA, so they could order a fight with Stanionis, for a "secondary" belt, rather than go to the WBO, for a fight with Crawford. Meanwhile Boots went to the IBF for Spence, and the IBF gave Spence 120 days to fight Boots or vacate! The clock started January 8th!
