Does anyone here think Boots Ennis could beat Bud Crawford?

[Spicoli]

I've unfortunately concluded Boots does not have the opponent depth and urgency to top the last Bud I watched. I'd pay and it would be exciting, great fight. But. Crazy to think a year or two ? ago some were calling Boots basically the uncrowned champ. He went the interim championship route feels like waiting for Bud to jump up but the promotion is doing him no favors. Guys like Ugas and Mario flippin Barrios are now fighting for one of those interim trinkets now. And on a massive event and spotlight like Canel vs Charlo card. Mario Barrios for 147 'interim' champ . Just wanted so much more for Boots by now

Boots looked really good in his last fight- but I feel like that is deceiving as his opponent was tough but limited. Boots is skilled and can punch, but Bud is an enormous leap in level of competition. I would like to see Boots fight Thurman or someone at that level prior to getting in the ring with Bud. It saying it is t the most intriguing fight at 147 right now, nor that I wouldn’t pay to watch it, I just think it is a little too soon for Boots and I would rather watch that fight when Boots is at his best (after fighting tougher opposition).

I’m not sure we’ll ever see it. After Bud’s fight with Spence, at this moment in his career he now moves into the “bigger fish to fry” zone. And that probably means moving up.
