Roy Jones says undefeated fighter with 90% knockout rate is ‘the truth’: ‘Everyone underestimates him’

Famous for his unique but 100% action style, Roy Jones Jr. is a fighter idolized by many and often discussed in discussions as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in recent history. However, Jones believes there is currently one boxer whose talent is being overlooked by fans.

The retirement of Terence Crawford has opened the door for American boxers to become the face of the sport and few are better positioned to capitalize than Vergil Ortiz Jr. And Jaron EnnisWHO continue to be linked with a super welterweight showdown.

Currently, neither man holds a title, but the fight is nonetheless billed as one of the biggest in boxing, with both men undefeated in a total of 59 fights including 53 knockouts.

Talk to Fight Hub TVBoxing legend Jones spoke of his excitement for the potential matchup, but stated his belief that many people are overlooking Ennis both in this competition and overall, calling the former unified welterweight champion “the truth.”

“Many people underestimate Boots [Jaron] Ennis. Boots Ennis is not what they think he is. Boots Ennis is the truth, do you understand me? They all talk crazy about Boots, but Boots is nothing but the truth.

Ennis-Ortiz would undeniably be one of the biggest matchups on the new schedule, but with reports of a recent fallout between Ortiz’s team and DAZN This means the fight could now face another obstacle to being able to continue, leaving fans wondering if it will indeed happen anytime soon.
