"BoxingScene Today" analyst Chris Algieri would liked to have seen Jaron Ennis unify at 147, but he also is excited to see the best version of "Boots" ? at junior middleweight.

Is Ennis really a legitimate star beyond Philly? I'm a fan, but I am not sure how he has a bigger profile than Ortiz. It would be good to back that kind of statement with some real numbers.

I will say this: We'll see soon enough if Ennis is as wonderful as some people make him out to be. I'm in the agnostic category of fan at the moment.

I like Ennis but I think that Ortiz beats him. They should have a tournament at 154. Instead of Super Six call it The Knockout Nine. There's a ton of good fights that can be made at the weight and nobody really head and shoulders above the rest of the field.

Physically, he seems more suited to 154/160 and he'll definitely face better fighters than Norman Jr, let's see how he does.

And people should always remember, if fighters continue to test themselves against good opposition, they will not always win - and some fighters' 0s are worth very little.

" . . . that division needs an injection, needs life,” Algieri said."

What garbage! There's more life at 154 already than at 147. It's Ennis that needs the injection of life into his career.

Ennis is definitely not the star Algieri makes him out to be. This said, he does have the goods, and could potentially become a superstar. I'm pretty sure he would beat pretty much everyone in the division fairly easily, except Ortiz (he would win, but it would be harder..). BUT he will need to ajust and boxe more intelligently.

Main Events has Murtazaliev

Loeffler has Bohachuk

[Goatintheboat]

Biggest fight for Boots is obviously Conor Benn. Get it made Eddie no excuses

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

Check your stats son....Fundora and Murta are PBC ..... Chuk fights mostly on PBC shows ... dont' know or care about the vacuum cleaner

They might fight on PBC, but they are promoted by the folks I listed, which means there won't be a problem getting Boots to fight Fundora, Murta, Bohachuk, Madrimov or Vergil.

Those are the guys I'd personally want to see Boots fight as I believe those are the toughest and more exciting of the fights...

Sick of the Ennis Norman jr he said she said Soap Opera . This happens every time a matchup isn’t made. Anyway I believe Ennis will be competitive with anyone at 154 . I don’t buy the “ Ennis gets Hit to Much “ it’s actually very Annoying to me LOL . Ennis did allow himself to take afew unnecessary Hit’s but that’s because he could afford it from the opponent’s he had . 154 is another Beast though. I believe we’ll see the absolute best from Ennis Defensively at 154 IMO. There’s alot of Dangerous Offensive Beasts at 154 and I believe that will be suit Ennis just fine. 154 is so far above 147 in Talent that the Norman jr Barrios or that JOKE Haney matchup’s means very little now. 154 is the start of Ennis Legacy if he’s as good as some of us believe. and I for one are Very excited about following Ennis career .
