I dont think any welterweight in the world can beat him. Bud is the only guy with even a legit chance. Spence? I dont think EJ will ever be the Spence of old. I think Boots would light Spence up.
I think Boots is too wet behind the ears to be favoured over Bud, and too unproven to prohibitively be favoured over Spence (although I do think Ennis would beat him). He definitely looks like something special, though. Good skills, brilliant fundamentals, clearly has massive power and rapid hands. Despite what people are saying after Dulorme, he also has an excellent defence.
On paper, he shouldn't be favored over either. In reality, it seems he would be too much for both. Spence I'm 100% convinced that his prime ended in that accident. I dont think we'll see 2017 Spence ever again.
To me, he was at his peak when he destroyed Algeri and broke down Brook. That was not the fighter we saw against Danny.
