Jaron "Boots" Ennis should have taken these types of fights in his 20th fight.
And it's amazing that Ennis didn't get the hype he's getting now despite still being undefeated at 20th fight. It almost seemed like he just popped out of thin air when he beat Lipinets, which is Boots' 29th fight. Thurman, in comparison, was making waves, AFAIC, starting around 20th fight. People were saying he's the boogeyman in the division. Maidana ducked him, etc. Although it's most likely because of his spat with Malignaggi.
Well, still nothing compared to Vergil Ortiz, who was already getting established starting from his 16th fight.
