    Ennis posting all over social media how he wants the fight now. How does it play out? I think Ennis would’ve also beaten the hell out of Spence, but Crawford was just different tonight. It’s the match to make, how does it go?

    He gets taken apart.

    Probably the only viable fight ATM at WW for Bud tho

    Crawford won’t want that work. He’ll probably move up.

    Boots gets wrecked, that’s what happens. I love Boots, genuinely think he’s a fantastic fighter, Crawford is the best fighter on earth as it stands today, IMHO.

    As of right now I have to be objective and give Crawford the edge due to experience but one thing I would tell you about Ennis if he is very mobile athletic, he has great timing, defense, power, can switch as well (if not better than Crawford), and he has a chin. If Ennis is able to beat the likes of Thurman, Stanionis, I would say he is ready. Right now, Crawford deserves the nod.

    Super Boots is very fast, with great punch variety, fluidity and vicious power in both hands and it will be the first time Crawford has fought someone in a world title fight who can match him for reach. I'm not saying he beats Crawford (albeit I picked him to ice Spence early if they ever fought) but it's an intriguing match up and a dangerous one for Crawford too because Super Boots possesses the speed, variety and length to catch him and the power in both hands to hurt him when he does.

    Is that the same boots that was out boxed at times by Karen. If he had issues dealing with someone on the back foot like that, but now you add counter punches coming at him.

    He's not ready, his experience is almost nothing for 30 fights as his opponent quality has been mediocre.

    I'd like to see the fight though. Prospects challenging the best. Crawford fades him into Bolivian.

    Spence and Bud will both run to 154 away from Boots
