    Good to have confidence in yourself but he needs to fight much better competition and his next opponent doesn't help his case.

    Well Joker, I agree with most of your takes on here but Boots IS sick with it though.

    Would tend to agree with him saying this over the Broners Ryan Garcias and Teofimo Lopez saying it.

    Here's my suggestion to youngins claiming to be better than what their resumes suggest, while being avoided.

    Fight every goddammn month.

    No I'm not kidding.

    Go into the gym like a regular job, do the runs, the pads, the weighs and sparring, and every month knock some bum out live on YouTube, then call every champ and ranked fighter unwilling to fight you lesser than these bums, then repeat.

    Great fighters used to fight super regularly especially when not yet proven, go old school but use 1000x the reach YouTube offers over untelevised small arse gym fights and become the talk of town.

    Boxing snobs care about records and names between important fights, the masses care about highlight reels. Go ahead and create some, sucka.

    Ennis and Vergil are legit. It's a super fight in 4 years.

    All modern fighters are the same.....I'm the best ever ect ect then they proceed to duck the other fighers who also call themselves the best in favour of fighting C level opposition that are well past their primes on PPV, while they 'build the fight' so we can all look forward to 5 years after fight should happen.

    Boots is already a gym legend at only 25. He may very well be. Honestly out of all the younger crop IMO, Boots is probably the most absolutely complete fighter.

    Yeah, he needs the fights to back up what he's saying though..........

    It's imperative for a fighter to believe in themselves and have self-confidence but there's a big difference between self-belief and self-confidence and being delusional and arrogant. What he said is not only demonstrably false but it's also highly disrespectful to far more accomplished and proven fighters like Jake ''Money'' Paul who is clearly the best fighter on the planet right now.

    Prospects say stuff like this all the time, no big deal. I also don’t see how it’s a “today’s fighters” thing, boxers have been saying this since the beginning of the sport. I don’t remember who said it, but there’s a quote saying “You shouldn’t be boxing if you don’t think you’re the best ever”. You won’t get far if your confidence isn’t delusional.

    That doesn't make the delusion any less revolting.

    Look, if Ennis went in there and iced Keith Thurman in spectacular fashion, even though he's inactive and most likely shot by now, then such a statement would warrant some credit.

    But when your best win is knocking out 140 pound Lipinets, it's a ludicrous claim.

    Even that wouldn't be enough at this point, unless he went out there & beat all three in Thurman, Spence & Crawford in a row perhaps then it could start to make a little more sense.

    You guys can laugh at me for saying this.......Boots will become the undisputed middleweight champion within 4 years or so
