With a tune up in a couple of months to knock off the ring rust, then boots in December…it’s a toss up.
You know.... Roberto Duran is universally recognized as being a Top 10 P4P fighter but he was far from invincible. What Benitez and Leonard (in fight 2 and 3) showed us is that by using lateral movement, counter punching, and defense, Duran can be outboxed. Duran should be the favorite in this matchup but Ennis is the bigger, more talented fighter of the two. Controversial Opinion: I would favor Floyd, Shakur, Pernell, Loma, Crawford, Norris, and Winky to all outbox Duran.
You think Ennis is more talented than Roberto Duran? My brother in Christ.. This content is protected
Boots, at this point in his career, would get mauled by the Montreal Duran. But it is not really his fault, he should be so much better than he is right now, but unfortunately he suffers from what almost all top modern Fighters suffer from, and that is lack of experience against top opposition. Ennis is extremely talented, but needs one or two fights against some good tough competition to put some polish on his skills.
