    Not saying Boots gets exposed like Broner did, I do think he’s a talented fighter, as was Broner too- he just lacked discipline more than anything. Boots is a good fighter but he’s absolutely nowhere near Crawford’s skill level IMO. He certainly hasn’t proven to be anyhow.

    The comparisons to Crawford are very premature. Just because he replicates some of things Crawford does, doesn’t automatically make him the second coming. I remember back in 2012 and people were convinced AB was the next Mayweather because the style was comparable, the difference was Floyd was effective with that style against A class opponents whilst Broner was imitating that style against B/C/D class opponents. I see a similar comparison with Bud and Boots

        No, not even an apt comparison.

        Broner was like Floyd's little brother, who had some talent, but was undisciplined.

        He was also too short to fight above 140.

        Boots is physically already more talented than Crawford.

        He's bigger & faster.

        He also fights nothing like Crawford

        Crawford's a more calculating "seek & destroy" type fighter, who likes to figure his opponents out.

        He fights closer to RJJ & SRL with his athleticism, than he does Bud

            The comments in this thread are just wild.

            All around.

            On one hand we've got Adrien Broner apparently NOT being a babied and protected fighter and on the other we've got Boots being compared to RJJ...

              Because, pre loss, he was babied and HEAVILY protected. That's just a literal fact.



              Oh really

              Go on then, "dig them up".
              I am also talking about post Maidana. I said this 3 times.

              I will have to go back and find them post of the people disagreeing with your canelo over james toney.

                Yes, I know. Which is why I said your comparison doesn't make sense. Because Ennis is at that stage of his career where Broner was pre Maidana.

                You said Broner "was never protected", that's totally incorrect. He was MORE babied and protected that both Ennis and Tank are, pre lost.

                Post loss, no. But again that's because his value dropped thus had no choice. That's if he wants to make money. He couldn't fight the likes of Gavin Rees post Maidana and get away with it.

                  It was His Excellency, Loadedhand wraps, The ironmike and two orders that agreed with me. One even said canelo wouldnt beat Michael Nunn. After what I seen. I dont think so either.

                      Listen boy, go and "dig up" the posts "clowning me" like you said they could and post them in here.

                      Then we can see their voluminous wisdom on the matter.
