    Boots vs Fundura would be interesting.

    Let's say he outpointed him, but it wasn't impressive by any stretch.

    So how many guys can you name who beat him?
    Crawford, the best fighter of his generation? Who else

    Boots vs Ortiz at 154 is a must. That would be a war.

    Fishnets claims he's willing to make it. Hearn says ennis accepts immediately. Let's see it.

    I'm a fan of both but I think it ends early via ko. Ortiz gets hit and hurt and he'll be the first one to get hit in exchanges.

    He's a skilled guy and maybe he can time ennis but I wouldn't bet on it

    I think that’s a 50-50 fight. Both get hit, and both like to be offensive.

    Boots could outbox him if he chose to but he’s gonna get lured into a fire fight and both have power to hurt the other.

    That’s pushing it. lol.

    Boots is probably not quite as good as the hype but difficult for me to imagine him losing to a much smaller and robotic guy like Ryan.

    lol....Boots would beat the fuck out of Ryan....boy quit against Tank....looked like he was ready to closed shop in the mid rounds vs Haney.

    Boots would make Ryan QUIT again..

    Hey newsflash Ortiz, Fundora or even Ryan aren’t guaranteed wins for Boots anymore. After the Karen rematch we can’t keep acting like he’s untouchable. Tbh if they fight I'd give Boots a slight edge over Fundora, but Ortiz is a toss up. Boots needs to get off his high horse and fight a big name.

    Big NAMES don't want to fight him....not in a TANK davis way "these ninja be scared, they don't want the smoke" but like REALLY really the other "big names" don't want to fight him.

    Ryan get folded up...

    Ortiz is always sick...bet if he's force to fight Boots, he will get AIDS or something to avoid getting in the ring...

    Fundora is tall, goofy and very hittable...that would be the easiest fight for Boots...easier than Ryan.

    Boots isn’t the untouchable force we thought he was. He’s a regular boxer and last night showed it. He got hit with that left hook repeatedly and didn’t have an answer. Sure he can tighten up his defense but his game has fundamental flaws. A fighter like Ortiz who’s far more skilled and powerful than Karen would exploit those weaknesses.

    We need to stop acting like Boots is above fighting Ortiz or even Fundora. Fandora might look 'goofy' but he’s proven effective... has a chin and heart. Boots couldn’t put Karen away so I don’t expect him to dominate Fundora either.

    Nobody is saying Boots is above fighting those guys....I'm saying those guys don't want it with Boots, IMO. And IMO Boots would sign to fight any of them+Crawford, tomorrow if they put a reasonable contract on the table.

    Boxer get hit...it happens. Where you throwing in your fandom towel on Canelo after Cotto's older brother had him rock'd and wobbling about like hooker after rough anal?

    Different how??? Cotto brother was a C level fighter and he rocked 30+ fight pro Canelo with clean left hooks/right hands...had him wobbling around the ring.

    It's the same shit.....actually Boots took Karen punches, counter hooks better..
