Boots Ennis vs prime Tim Tszyu and Jermell Charlo

Charlo has always been overrated, if you lose to Tony Harrison, you're not a great fighter. Harrison's chin is made of fine china and if you can't find it in 12 rounds then you're no HOF'er. Castano gave him all he could handle over 2 fights, Castano was gutty as all **** but limited. Tszyu at his best might have been able to beat Charlo but Iwould never favour him over Ennis or Ortiz. If he beats Spence, he should invite Zayas down under.

 

From what I remember they wanted to stop it but it was Tim that wanted to continue. You’re right though, it would have been better for his career if they stopped it after 4, but sometimes it’s hard to keep the fighter from himself.

 

Charlo was never near Boots level and Tszyu was never world class but had more power than any boots has fought.

 

Charlo would be the hardest puncher and most durable opponent Boots has fought. But let’s be honest Boots beats any version of Tim easily

 

I think Charlo and Tszyu were at least the same level, Charlo got in when the pickings at the top were slim and he grabbed the 4 belts, Tim only got a version of the WBO. As you point out neither is on Ennis level but Tim can whack.

 

I 100% believe that if Charlo had gone ahead with the Tszyu fight in January 2023 when it was scheduled that Tim would've ran him over.

 

I think he beats both but I'm biased against the charlos for no particular reason I just don't like em

 

I totally agree with that. Like @NoChin pointed out, Fundora 1 is where everything went pear shaped. Australia hasn't had many top level fighters like Tim Tszyu, obviously we've had better but nearly all our world champions are finished after a bad beating. Tim's copped two yet he's on the precipice of reaching the top again. I'm a bigger fan of his now than I've ever been. Kid's got cohunas, never ducked anybody, always stayed busy. Let's face it Fundora was always gonna be a nightmare once he actually figured out how to box.

 

Yep and it was as clear as day to anyone non bias that Tim was dismantling Fundora before the elbow. Tim was red hot at that stage of his career he genuinely had Charlo shook. Agreed Tim Tszyu has balls of steel he ducks nobody and loves to fight he represents the good in boxing.

 

Tim created the monster that is Fundora! Yes, Fundora had lost to Mendoza by KO but he was dominating that fight up to the point he got whacked. Fundora liked to fight and he'd been able to until that first fight with Tim, that's when he realised, he'd reached a level where that didn't work anymore.

 

They didn't know the rules. Tszyus team that is.

 

Both beat Ennis

No clue at all why so many rate Ennis so highly. It seems like a race thing more than anything else...because it damn sure aint his boxing

 

Charlo chickened out vs Tszyu in 2023. Tszyu would have mauled him.

 

He stops Tim Tszyu and UD12 Jermell...............oddly enough though I think Boots vs. Jermall would be 50/50 (Big twin is the much better twin even if he didn't earn the accolades little twin did)
