Comments Thread For: Dissecting Jaron ?Boots? Ennis? move to loaded 154lbs division

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.

" . . . 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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.
