Great post, 100% accurate.

I believe Jaron is stuck in the Terrance Crawford zone and I don't see anyone close to the competitive nature of a prime Errol Spence. People forget Errol Spence was willing to fight anyone at any time, anyone. The man went against his team's advice to make the Crawford fight. Spence and Crawford were competitive animals and like it or not, Ortiz Jr is not that guy.

In the end, without an opponent that dares to be great, Jaron will need to do something very risky or take very short money like Uysk and still, he'll have difficulty finding opponents.

Crawford zone? Bootsy ducked Bud who was making nothing but mandatory and voluntary defenses and the turned down his offer b4 he beat the brakes off Spence!

Isn't it odd how prior to becoming WBA interim champ at 154, Boots was ranked higher by the WBO whose belt he never held at 147, than by the IBF, whose belt he held at 147? If Boots is so "avoided", why did Eddie pay the IBF to rank him #6 and not #1 with a clear path to Murtazaliev???

Though I believe he beats Vergil on skills alone, mentioning Boots in the same paragraph as Crawford is sacrilegious.
