You must be, to say something as delusional as this.

 

You mean Kavaliauskas? The same guy that KO'd Avanesyan who KO'd Josh Kelly. Who took 5 rounds off of the mythical "Bud" and dropped him, that guy? Oh, and KOing Ramirez's leftoversx2, and stopping Brad Solomon and Mauricio Herrera for the first time in their careers, and stopping Vargas in the same round as Spence and Danny Garcia, counts for a hell of a lot more than stopping Lipinets, who's best win is an ancient Lamont Peterson, or stopping glass jawed Dulorme, 6 years after Bud stopped him. Ennis has accomplished next to nothing in this sport, and the only thing he's shown us is that he has power. The one guy that could land, in Eyubov, certainly was having a lot of success against him in the second round. A good pressure fighter with a chin, batters Ennis.

 

Let's just say the massive for the weight Vergil Ortiz has a better chin than Sergey Lipinets, a natural puny Light Welterweight who lasted 6 rounds with Ennis. Let's also say, Vergil learned his lesson and adjusted in his fight against Kavaliauskas, and controlled the range far better down the stretch. What happens if Ennis can't hurt him, because he has a better chin than Sergey and he plays it far safer early than he did against The Mean Machine and Vergil has piled up the punishment at that point? Who's going to be sitting down on their punches at that point? Who's going to be pouring on the pressure? Who's to say Vergil doesn't badly hurt him early and get his respect, causing Ennis to play it safe? How do we know Ennis has a good chin? What happens when he gets hit by someone who can land and when he lands, it's with blunt force? Who's to say they won't both be timid and scared to throw a punch, which is what occasionally happens when two massive punchers share the ring? There's far too many variables in this fight for either of us to be cocksure of the outcome. I'm only going on who's more proven, and that's Ortiz. And let's be honest, who of Ennis' opponents would Ortiz not beat? He's had half the fights and easily the better resume already.

 

Like I said last night, I don't have an issue with him personally, I just don't get the hype, what has he done to merit this talk of him being the future kingpin of the division? As usual, the annoying fans are overhyping and making a fighter unbearable by association, fair or unfair, that is a thing. Same thing happened with GGG, and yes, GGG fans used to annoy the hell out of me as well, before when he was unproven.

 

This isn't an exaggeration, considering there's still people on here that think Manny Pacquiao is a hype job. And there's been a glut of Naoya Inoue is a hypejob threads, and they were from someone you'd think would know better.
