Bud is a bad fight for Teo. Bud has bigger and better things. However Boots is unproven and I see? Marks because he ain’t fought anybody and doesn’t seem like he wants to.Last edited by Slip jab; 12-10-2024, 04:08 PM.Comment

Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin gave Teo all he could handle and Martin arguably beat him. Boots is a level above Martin and a whole lot bigger - too much for Teo to bite off. But let him try - I want to see it same as I wanted to see Brook vs Golovkin, Charlo vs Canelo, Garcia vs Spence.Comment

It sounds pretty cool I guess; it could sell some tickets.
An athletic fighter like Teo might be Ennis problems; I can see why TR might consider throwing him out there for a hail Mary. I'd just hate to see him summarily beaten and have him fall off the map like some other fighters being mentioned Brook, Charlo, Garcia.
But again, style wise it's not that bad for Teo imo. I also think Keith Thurman should consider fighting Ennis for the same reason.
Athletic guys who can move laterally and stop on a dime and throw power; Karen really showed a lot, jsut not enough powerLast edited by LA_2_Vegas; 12-10-2024, 04:29 PM.Comment

He would fare much better I believe against a Devin Haney type. Rather than a Jaron Ennis while making more money in the process.
Devin Haney is a much bigger Draw and has more of a crossover and mainstream appeal.among casual fans. The fight would not only be more marketable and competitive but also one he can win.
So far, Haney has made a lot more money in his career than boots has because he hasn’t fought anyone good. If Teo is serious then Boots would be a fool to turn it down.
Teofimo Lopez would be by far the biggest name on Jaron Boots Ennis’ resume’.

While on the other hand and at least on paper; This fight seems more like a mismatch to me. Not just to me but to other boxing fans as well. All Lopez could do in this fight is to run and survive.
He can run but he won’t be able to hide. At some point Ennis is going to break him down with his pressure. When that happens Teo won’t have either the size, stamina or punching power to fight him off.
This is not some washed up and shopworn Josh Taylor we are talking about here. This is a full fledged welterweight with both size and power.
