Crawford is one of the great fighters in boxing of the 21st century certainly as far as boxing goes and he’s had some things to say on ‘Boots’.
That’s current US welterweight fighter Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis that is.
He’s not impressed with him at all.
Crawford said if they had fought he would have ended the career of Ennis early.
Here’s some direct feedback from the boxing world on that:
Crawford remains retired from boxing at the moment.
On a mythical fight between ‘Bud’ and ‘Boots’ here’s some facts on how we think it would have matched up:
- Crawford’s switch-hitting would disrupt Ennis’s rhythm and angle entries.
- Ennis’s hand speed and volume from both stances could test Crawford’s mid-range control.
- Crawford’s counter-punch timing punishes Ennis’s leaping lead lefts/hooks.
- Ennis’s physical strength and frame would challenge Crawford in clinches.
- Crawford’s body work slows Ennis’s high output in later rounds.
- Ennis’s awkward southpaw uppercuts exploit gaps when Crawford squares up.
- Crawford’s feints and trap-setting would bait Ennis into counters.
- Ennis’s jab variety and reach could keep Crawford honest outside.
- Crawford’s championship composure handles Ennis’s flashy combos under pressure.
- The fight likely becomes a chess match, with small adjustments deciding rounds.
On Crawford, many also had their say earlier on Crawford’s three time and three weight undisputed claim here.
