Roy Jones Jr Names The Champion That Gives Crawford A 'Very Difficult Fight'

Roy Jones Jr, the renowned four-division world champion, has given his insights on the challenges Terence 'Bud' Crawford may face in the ring. In a recent interview with YSM Sports Media, Jones Jr pinpointed Jaron 'Boots' Ennis as a formidable opponent for Crawford. He emphasized Ennis' comprehensive skill set:

"That fight would be a very difficult fight [for Crawford] because he has everything and when a guy is as talented, at the skill level of Boots Ennis, anything can happen," Jones Jr said.

Terence Crawford stands tall in boxing’s welterweight division. Last July, he claimed an outstanding victory over Errol Spence Jr, dominating and stopping his opponent. This win etched Crawford's name in history as the first four-belt welterweight champion and the first multi-divisional four-belt undisputed champion.

However, Crawford lately faced a setback. The IBF stripped him of his welterweight world title. Speculation is rife that Crawford may either move up to super-welterweight or aim for the super-middleweight category to challenge Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed 168 lbs title.

Meanwhile, Errol Spence Jr's loss to Crawford has led to rumors negating a prospective rematch between them. Jaron 'Boots' Ennis has emerged from these developments as the new IBF welterweight world title-holder and is openly challenging Crawford. At 26 years old, Ennis' career is surging forward as he vocalizes his desire for Crawford to attempt regaining his previous belt.

Should Crawford accept Ennis' challenge, it could be his ultimate bout at 147 lbs before possibly ascending weight classes.

According to Roy Jones Jr’s prediction, this potential matchup could result in Crawford's first career defeat due to Boots Ennis’ exceptional prowess. Jones Jr also adds on record about Ennis' yet-to-be-tested resilience against powerful hits: "We don’t know if he can take a really punch yet because we haven’t seen it, but as far as skill goes, he has got everything."

This development sets the stage for what might be an epic confrontation in boxing – where legacy, titles, and untested talent converge in one ring.
