Will Shakur, Bam, and Boots be the top 3 P4P in two years?

Usyk, Inoue, Bivol, and Beterbiev are all on the older side.

Does it appear likely that Shakur, Bam, and Ennis will be considered the 3 best in the sport in say 2 years?

 

Who is ennis going to be able to fight to get to that status ?

IF he can get ortiz in the ring this year. Kelly and zayas will run from him outside the ring more than inside it

 

Sounds About Right...



REED

 

REED Expects Hearn to Ultimately CASH OUT Kelly in a UK Bout vs Boots, ASSuming Boots-Ortiz Doesn't Materialize This Spring...Hearn Knows the Chances of Kelly Making Even ONE Successful Title Defense Are REMOTE & He'll Want to Keep That Belt IN-HOUSE...

Zayas May Not Run TOWARDS the Smoke, Per Se, But REED Doubts He Just Unified w/NO Intent Of Fighting for Undisputed @ Some Point...The Onus is On Boots/Hearn/Matchroom to Acquire a Belt...



REED

 

even if those fights get made, theyre both SHITTY where ennis will be chasing those 2 jackrabbit faggets around the ring

 

Necessary Evil for Boots to Wind Up with 3/4th's of the Super Welter Titles in the End...



REED

 

And then what ? Move to 160 ?

 

Shakur & Bam for sure, it remains to be seen how much Boots wants it.

 

i dont see zayas willingly fighting ennis when so many other options are out there. both fundora and zayas would much rather face each other than get decapitated by ennis.

maybe if that happens then his excellency will pony up for the winner to face ennis. ONLIEST way it happens is he he overpays someone to take the fight.

now hes got his own thing going will he give a shit about the sanctioning bodies to overpay for a unification? regardless none of them matchups are anywhere near as interesting as ennis - ortiz, even if its for no belt

 

Ennis hasnt even won a fight at 154. Let's see him fight madrimov.

 

Keyshshawn davis has looked spectacular lately. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get in the top 3 sooner rather than later

Shu Shu Carrington doesnt seems to be p4p material, but crazier things have happened.

We boxing fans are usually a pessimistic bunch, but theres ton of good prospects/burgeoning stars at the moment.

 

You're NOT Wrong, But if the Possibility of Undisputed is OUT There, 1 Belt Away, a Belt Held By Boots Ennis, There's NO Way He Could Be Avoided Forever By Zayas, Fundora or Whomever...

REED Suspects Turki Will Continue to Overpay for ELITE Talents and Such...Time Will Tell...




REED

 

Can't Help BUT to Be Impressed w/Keyshawn's Last 3 Bouts (LeMoos, Barynchhyk, Ortiz)...

Keyshawn's MATURITY/DISCIPLINE Could Be His Undoing Though...Per Rumors, He Was Kicked Out of Bo Mac's Gym for Smelling Like Alchohol...AGAIN!

Also, REED Doesn't Like How Keyshawn's a Bug Eye'd Tough Guy UNTIL Andy Cruz Walks Into the Same Room...

Keyshawn's Energy is DIFFERENT Around Cruz, in a Way REED Doesn't Like...It's DOUBTFUL They Ever Fight as Pros, with Keyshawn Already Talking Welterweight, But His Behavior Around Cruz REEKS of Front Runner Mentality...

Again, Time Will Tell...



REED

 

...the Way Keyshawn Clapped and Cheered as the Muratalla-Cruz Scorecards were Read SPEAKS to the "Front Runner" Mentality REED Mentioned...Instead of Beating Cruz HIMSELF, There Keyshawn Was, Cheerleading Someone Else's Accomplishment...



REED

 

I'm with REED. I'm not 100% sold on Keyshawn yet. I said in a previous thread that he has the potential (meaning the talent) to be better than the Teo/Haney/Tank level, but I'm not yet convinced he lives up to that potential. Something does appear missing with Keyshawn...

 

I want to see how he reacts when an opponent is still strong after 6-7 rounds and/or when an top opponent punches with him early on......I like Keyshawn aggression in the early rounds, every punch it looks like he wants to kill his opponent. But in the mid-later round he ease off a bit.....

Since him n Shakur are BROTHERS and PRAY together...they ain't fight each other...so I want to see Teo vs Keyshawn later this year or early next year.

 

Cruz is in his head....0-3, 0-4 in the amateur against him....

 

Boots and Shakur have all the opponents they need to prove themselves.... Boots need to make the Ortiz fight, unify at 154 Fundora, Zayas, Kelly take 'em all on in the next 18 months easy work(IMO), then wait for a 147 or 160 pounder to breakout and fight them...and Shakur has Tank, Haney, Rolly, Russell, Cruz, Hitchins, etc...these guys are not DLH, Trinidad, Quartey, Whitaker, Mosley, Canelo, Buds, Cotto, Six Head Lewis, but this last few decades it's quantity over quality...quality is iffy...

 

Im more interested in the next davis fight than the next Stevenson fight

 

If Shakur made my boy look like a bum who had never boxed a day in his life I'd be mad too.

 

Im not mad im just not that interested in watching him. Been that way since I went to his fight with valded.

Hes a low output 30 punch a round guaranteed decision

He fights like a 38 year old Mayweather jr with less landed power shots, yet hes 28

 

I'm just fuckin witcha. He's not my must-see TV either, when he's fighting lesser guys. If he fights Benn, yes I'll be tuned in, because he'll clown Benn.

But do I anticipate Shakur fights like I used to do with Roy and YOUNG Floyd? Fuck no.

 

Benn sucks. That fight doesnt interest me.

Davis vs benn, that fight interests me

 

Cross Tank off that list.

Tank has no interest in fighting Shakur or any other top guy.

He spent his entire woman beating career ducking Loma, Haney, and Shakur.

 

Which Davis?

 

The 1 who fought saturday

 

Tank might be short on MONEY when he comes out in 24-36 months.....he's going to have to fight someone.

Shakur v Ryan Garcia...sure it's a bullshit fight but it's will be fun and $$$....good styles mashup..

 

Sure, Why Not???...Boots Said He Sees Himself @ '68 Ultimately...He's TALLER Than Big Bro Pooh Ennis, Who Also Fought @ '68...




REED

 

REED Hates to Come Off Sooooooo NEGATIVE About Keyshawn, But He Has a Hunch Keyshawn Will Eventually SAY/DO Some Out-of-Pocket Shit That Compromises the "Brotherhood" w/Shakur...

Not Sure WHY, Other Than Ill VIBES From Keyshawn...Keyshawn Doesn't Seem as INTO the "Brotherhood" as Shakur Is & It Wouldn't Surprise REED @ All if Their Friendship was TESTED @ Some Point, Perhaps Leading to TALKS of a Fight...



REED

 

REED Hasn't Seen Anyone Hit Keyshawn BACK w/a Hard Shot Yet, Either...It's Been All 1-Way Traffic to This Point...He's Overwhelming Guys Like David Morrell Was....Until He WASN'T...
