His Excellency Turki Alarusik is reportedly trying to organize a match between Terrence Crawford and Jaron “Boots” Ennis in 2024.
Fans were eager to see the match, but Crawford was holding back, not wanting to mix it up with young prodigy Boots Ennis.
Some people consider Crawford to be a younger, better version of the Nebraska native, so what 26-year-old Boots Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs) brings to him I believe that I am completely afraid of the threat.
Boots can do everything Crawford can do, but with more ability and power. Crawford’s gimmicky switch hits and counter punches that impress ultra-hardcore fans are simple for Ennis.
Why a fight between Crawford and Boots won’t happen
Crawford’s limited activity: Terrence only fights once a year, but he is already scheduled to take on WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov on August 3 in Los Angeles. Possible loss or attrition from the Madrimov fight: Terrence could lose to Madrimov or get punished so badly in the fight that he won’t be able to come back this year to fight Boots Ennis. Yes, Crawford might be able to drag him into the ring to fight Boots if His Excellency waves enough green stuff under his nose, but he’s physically battered against Madrimov. It will be. Madrimov = Big Threat: Madrimov is a man with more power than Crawford has ever seen in his career. The biggest puncher Crawford fought was WIFI password puncher “Mean Machine” who pushed Crawford to the canvas and injured him. That was four years ago. Last time I checked, Crawford hasn’t gotten any younger since then. he looks much older. Crawford’s Decline: If Crawford can survive a grueling battle with Madrimov, he will become easy prey for Boots Ennis. Even if Crawford doesn’t face the powerful Madrimov, he will fight Boots Ennis. Spence Illusion: Casual fans are fooled by Crawford’s win over Errol Spence and believe he can walk on water and turn water into wine. I hate to say this to fans, but Spence hasn’t been the same since his 2019 car accident. He crashed a Ferrari at 160mph and he’s not even close to what he used to be.
Madrimov didn’t chop his liver, and it will be a punishing fight for Crawford, who turns 37 in September. Crawford is no spring chicken. His age, lack of athleticism and facing the biggest puncher of his career will be a big problem for Crawford.
Crawford will take shots against Madrimov that he has never experienced at the professional level, but this is the last time in his career that he has taken such a hard blow against a young fighter with one-punch power.
