    Crème de la crème.
    Resumes aside, the best and most talented fighter in the entire sport.

    Its not just his skills, technique, hand speed, power, all that good stuff, its the processing ability.

    You have great fighters but then there are your Roy Jones Jrs and Leonards, I think he's in that mould but ultimately its for him to prove it by stepping up his competition level.

    I'll go a step further and say I think these perceived threats are a hell of a lot easier stylistically than Karen Chukhadzian. We can laugh at his name but that's a skilled, high IQ little fighter. He's your typical Ukrainian top level amateur constantly in perpetual motion, fainting, giving different looks and creating angles. Great chin, desire too win, workrate.
    I genuinely think he gives any of the top guys fits. Karen might fall short at the very, very top but he will give them all a torrid time.
    These bigger, less mobile, static, slower guys are target practice for someone like Boots.

      I just do not see someone like this being a threat. Alright he can punch a bit.

      Might not be popular but I think he sucks.
      No fluidity, no defence just a very flawed powerpuncher.

      Look at the state of that footwork nonstop crossing his feet, steps right with his left foot first bringing his feet together, incapable of throwing a right hand without lifting his right foot completely off the ground and bringing it forward. Day 1 beginner stuff. You are literally taught this on day 1.

      This is a product of todays era. He can not box. A glorified caveman with a bit of a dig on him.

      I give him 3 rounds vs Boots, straight up and don't be surprised at all if Boots blasts him into orbit inside of 1 round. No exaggeration, no bs.

          He's good, but bud need to give him a chance so we can answer these threads.
          Broner was good, he only lost to the likes of pac and maidana, but so did floyd

            If those two are Youtubers, what is George Sosa who rocked Ennis?

              For right now, I'll just stick to great.

              He's obviously going to be at least a 3 division champion, unless he gets hurt or falls off a cliff.

              I won't say he's SRL/RJJ until he starts fighting better competition

                What was the need for the rematch though? There was no drama in the first fight, wasn't in demand, wasn't close on the cards, nothing. It's got to be one of the most unneccesary rematches for a fighter like Boots at his point in career that i can remember.

                If he was only rematching him to try to improve on the first showing, would you say he succeeded?

                  So what you do is, you fight him, blast him out in a round and then he's proven it. Mayweather could have said "I'll wipe the floor with Diego Corrales, look at all the mistakes he makes. I'd drop him 5 times and stop him". or he could just actually do it, like he did. Pacquaio could have just said "I'll beat the every loving piss out of Barrera and stop him" or he could actually just do it, like he did.

                  Just saying he would do it is fantasy. He's beaten one Top 5 guy in his career, that's the long and short of it. And he didn't blast him out in a round.

                  If Boots can blast out Murtzaliev in a round then just make it next.

                    With what and how? We are not talking About Tim Tszyu here. The man with the glass jaw and can’t punch. We are talking about Jaron “Boots” Ennis here. The best fighter with the most potential in the division.

                      The only thing Bakhram Murtazaliev does well is punch but so does Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Likewise, Jaron has also shown an ability to box. So he is the more versatile and flexible of the two with higher Ring IQ. He can make adjustments.
