    Legacy-wise? Absolutely nothing.

    But maybe he can parlay it into a bigger fight. Maybe Gervonta for the WW title at a 141 lb catchweight or Benn which would be a big event in England after his war with Eubank. Maybe he’ll chase the circus fight with Jake Paul or Conor McGregor

      And, even if Ennis actually becomes undisputed at 147, his best wins will still be guys like Stanionis, Barrios, Norman jr.

      I think that based on what I see not his resume. With resumes, everything that is proven as of now I have Usyk #1 by quite a way but if I am to watch them all box as far as skill, ability etc goes I think Boots is simply on another level to anybody in the sport right now.

      I don't hold Stanionis in high regard even if he is top 2-4 in a dead division (solid enough and a 'good win' don't get me wrong but he's nothing special), Barrios - a weak titlist. Norman Jr looks decent but still improving but truth be told I don't really care to see Boots fight them even if they are the best in the division currently, its a dead division but he has his goal.
      Me personally I'd rather he fought Crawford, Vergil etc

      I only care to see Boots fight at elite level to see if he's as good as I believe.

      I think he becomes undisputed at WW, 154 and MW!

          If Pac wins, he gets a mega money fight with Canelo at 160.

                Did Mario "Starling" someone ?!?
                TBF, I haven't seen many Mario fights.

                  Marlon Starling was a highly skilled welterweight titlist in the late 80s.

                  Molinares is a POS who won a title from a punch about 2seconds after the bell.

                    I caught the reference

                    I take it Mario would be Tomas vs Pac
                    (if they fight and Pac gets slept at the 3:02 mark of a rd).

                    Was wondering if Mario ever pulled a similar stunt as Tomas
                    As it stands, Mario is pretty.......unspectacular.
                    Marlon was talented

                    Should be an easy fight for Pac which is why Team Pac picked Mario.

                      He hasn't, Barrios is a good dude. But in terms of history, thats the level he would be at
