I don’t see anyone beating Boots at 47

I don’t either

Thurman or Stanionis would be joke fights. Must easier for Boots than Villa who is tough as nails.

I agree.

Spence, Crawford, Ennis will be great to see but neither this or the next generation will ever witness ANYTHING this electrifying! = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lidFI-Yu6w

It's great having a little bit of a golden age of welterweights but these guys will never make me forget my all time favorite fighter. Good God this guy had lightning bolts in his hands!! = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lidFI-Yu6w

Thanks for the SRL highlight vid! The Duran fight in 80, "No Mas" is a great memory I have watching as a kid with my grandfather and uncles.

Boots hugged too much and was unable to KO earlier an unknown fighter, in his hometown. Villa could have just hug, push and tun the last 2 rounds and go the distance like the Afro fighters do but instead preferred tp attack like a man and lose with dignity.

People that can't separate their racism from boxing have a very low IQ. This is an example.

Ennis won, OK but showed his true nature... hugging to take advantage even if he didn´t need to, extending his arm for too long which is illegal, and Villa just kept coming even if hurt, that shows you the character of each culture. Villa was going to lose OK but if he was an African-American, he could have just jabbed from far away, hugged, ran, not engage in order to go the distance. Instead his Latin machismo made him (wrongly) attack no matter what, evem when he was hurt. Was it dumb? Maybe. But that shows that some cultures are different than others. Ennis is good yes, but not as spectacular as Vergil Ortiz. The moment Ennis feels even the slightest punch, he hugs.

Aren't you the same one who said Mayweather ran from Canelo the whole fight when it was Mayweather who was walking down Canelo in the later rounds? Like that fight and tonight's fight, you didn't really watch the fight, you only saw what you wanted to see and didn't bother watching the many parts where Ennis stood and traded punches inside ripping huge shots off.

I thought Leonard got two gifts against Hagler & Hearns. Leonard is an ATG.. but I think we’ll see someone reach that talent level someday. Either Shakur or Boots.

The fight that really mattered was Leonard vs Hearns 1 when they were both at their peak. Leonard should not have fought Hearns at the higher weight, but both were great. No one today has that blinding speed and combinations like Leonard had but that doesn't mean some can't become modern greats. Camacho when he was at 130 had those blinding combinations but he changed after the Rosario fight. The fact that Leonard was extremely inactive and going up in weight against Hagler, he did great no matter if people thought Hagler, or he won. But this mini-golden era with July 29th is pretty damn good with the top 2 and then 3 including Ennis and some others thrown in for fun.

To be fair, black people were even worse when Wilder lost to Fury.

Point me to where one person attacked fury based on his race. You can't because there weren't any. You mention one instance, but Latinos do this every week.

Great point brother
