Better/More Potential: Bam or Boots?

Bam is better. A more technical fighter. Then again that is what I am looking for in a fighter. I like fighters that live off their technique.

Boots had good technique, but more than anything he seems strong physically - super quick, reflexes, snap in the punches and generally quick in the head. He could do any other sport, where he isn't too small.

Bam is a master at what he does. I just prefer that.

 

Both are world-class boxers and exciting fighters to watch.

But I think Bam has better technical skills.

 

Bam.

Boots relies too much on his athleticism while being willing to trade more often than he should. Ennis can get away with this now, however, every fighter who has done this encounters someone who isn't impressed and grinds them down.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

 

Bam is better technically, Boots is more explosive and athletic (not that Bam has an issue in either of these departments). Both get hit too much at times.

I favor technique so I'd say Bam has a higher ceiling, but who knows. Boots has a pretty damn high ceiling too.

 

Bam will get beat before Boots does.Mark my words

 

Prime Roy Jones Jr was better than Michael Nunn, doesn't matter how technical Nunn was, same thing with Boots

 

Both terrific fighters to watch and very talented. Boots is the more gifted athlete while Bam is the more complete fighter. Personally I think Bam will end up as the greater fighter once they both retire.

 

Bam actually fights top guys. Boots is a 30 year old prospect, still.

 

I assume so, too, because he seems bound to fight inoue soon. I don't see boots fighting a monster like that in the near future. I don't think there is one for boots. Crawford might apply
