    He won't even fight him so how's he going to thrash him?

    If he does manage to locate his plums, maybe he can hire a sports psychologist or he might need to enlist a hypnotist instead to help him overcome his fear, and mans up and takes the Super Boots challenge win, lose, or draw I'll give him a lot of credit for it.

    I won't be shouting Super Boots was young or green. You can take that to the bank but make sure when you do you withdraw some cheddar to lay down on Super Boots via KO.

    Bigger, faster, slicker, younger, more powerful, more athletic, more explosive, and Crawford will be facing someone who is not only more physically gifted in those departments but he'll be facing someone who can also match him for reach for the first time in any of his world title fights and it will be one of the extremely rare occasions in his 40 fight career he's facing a legit puncher, especially one his size.

    Crawford's chin ain't taking that power. He was dropped by the only legit banger his size he's fought in Mean Machine and Avanesyan rocked him a little and had Crawford not been able to keep him at bay with that near six inch reach advantage he might have got dropped by him too and neither are on Super Boots level. Super Boots has an identical 74'' reach as Crawford.

    But I will concede that Super Boots' chin is still untested as of now so there's also a chance he might not be able to take Crawford's power.

    They are not helping Ennis much really because now he is a paper champ. That’s not much fun winning your first title like that.

    Just another Sanctioning Body ready to dig their claws firmly into Ennis because they know how well he will generate revenue for them, same old story all over again.

    I feel Ortiz was on his way to proving he was the real deal but his health unaligned him unfortunately but with Boots I'm not so convinced especially him against Crawford I think Crawford would beat him up bad at this point, he just seems to be too strong & smart for Boots to be honest.

    I think Ennis in his last fight showed a decent chin, obviously Ennis won pretty much every round. But I thought Villa was in the fight all the way, and actually landed some nice clean punches on Ennis which he took fairly well IMO.

    Ennis hasn't really got the resume to back up his talent, but regarding how good he does look I would still have it as one of Crawford's best wins if Crawford did indeed get the W.

    True Crawford will negate a lot of Ennis attributes & will keep him hesitant to use that long reach back after he feels his sharp power shots coming back in return along with Crawfords defense & foot movement,

    I see Crawford badly stunning or even near stopping Ennis at this point, if he really wants it which him & his father never truly did hence wanting to go through the Spence Route then make it happen & we will see just that.

    Crawford had no interest in fighting boots so they stripped him. Too high risk too little reward it sucks but it happens all the time.

    It's bittersweet because Crawford shouldn't have been stripped (no one who's actually active should like this) but Boots has waited extremely patiently throughout this process. This didn't start in 2023 it began in 2021. Boots had been the highest rated in the IBF that amount of time, when Spence still had it and wasn't fighting. So for Crawford yeah, he won it rightfully. But Boots had rights to fight for that belt since 2021. But for some odd dumbass reason, the IBF didn't have a number 1 or 2 for like 2 or 3 years straight (which makes no sense)

    Clearly Crawford already said he is not going to fight him, it's either Spence at 147 or he's moving up. How much longer should Boots have had to wait? If the rematch even happens( I have my doubts at least at 147), that slows down things for another entire year. I seriously doubt Crawford will ever fight at WW again.

    A last thing: the same people mad about Crawford being stripped aren't mad about Little Twin being stripped..............that's very peculiar. It's the same situation and timeframe.

    Good. Now let’s see Crawford get it back since he’s so great.

    :lol: Me too. To be fair to Terry, Spence has enacted the rematch so he can't fight Super Boots next. That being said, I don't believe he would even if he was free to do so and after he beats Spence in the rematch I think he'll run up to 154.

    Villa can punch and he did catch him with some clean shots but Villa isn't the quickest and Super Boots sees things in slow motion and is good defensively and riding with shots

    This content is protected


    But yeah, I think his chin is decent

    Super Boots will be by far the most dangerous and talented fighter Crawford will have fought if he ever steps foot into a ring with him

    How many skilled athletic phenom, legit bangers/massive punchers, with blazing hand speed and long reaches on here, let alone ones Crawford's size?

    They're a very mediocre bunch in terms of athleticism and power and there ain't many legit bangers there either

    Gamboa is athletic with very fast hands but he was much smaller, doesn't belong at 135, and it was a grotesque size mismatch. And even though he's only stopped like 2 of 13 opponents at 135 IIRC he hurt Crawford badly

    Khan was super quick but he was washed

    Ditto for Brook

    Egis has fast hands, hits really hard, and can match Crawford for size and he dropped him
