Roy Jones Jr., no stranger to championship fights himself, weighed in on Crawford's choice. He acknowledged the clamor for Crawford to drop down to 160 pounds and secure another title but ultimately saw the decision as sound and final.
Presently, Jaron "Boots" Ennis carries the future torch of boxing. At only 28 years old, he maintains an unblemished record of 36-0. Jones’ recent remarks highlight how underestimated Ennis continues to be despite his growing reputation; "Boots ain't nothing but the truth," stated Jones with conviction.
The Boxing world should keep their eyes on Ennis as he prepares for greater challenges. A lack of tough opponents initially forced his move to super welterweight in 2025. In dominating fashion, Ennis debuted at this weight with a first-round TKO against Uisma Lima.
Crawford’s legacy appears firmly entrenched while Ennis carves out his path up the ranks—a journey garnering significant attention as observers watch him rise within sports circles globally.
