Famed for his unique but all-action style, Roy Jones Jr<\/a> is a fighter that is idolised by many and often thrust into discussions as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers in recent history. However, Jones believes that there is one current boxer whose talent is being overlooked by the fans.<\/p>\n

The retirement of Terence Crawford<\/a> has opened the door for American boxers to become the face of the sport and there are few better poised to capitalise than Vergil Ortiz Jr<\/a> and Jaron Ennis<\/a>, who continue to be linked to a super-welterweight showdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At present, neither man holds a title but still the bout is being touted as one of the biggest in boxing, with both men undefeated in a combined 59 fights that consist of 53 knockouts.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fight Hub TV<\/a>, boxing legend Jones spoke of his excitement for the potential match-up but declared his belief that many people are overlooking Ennis in both that contest and overall, labelling the former unified welterweight champion as \u2018the truth\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people are underestimating Boots [Jaron] Ennis. Boots Ennis is not what they think he is. Boots Ennis is the truth, you understand me? They all talk crazy about Boots, but Boots ain\u2019t nothing but the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ennis-Ortiz would undeniably be one of the biggest clashes of the new calendar, but reports of a recent fall-out between Ortiz\u2019s team and DAZN<\/a> mean that the fight could now face yet another hurdle in order to proceed, leaving fans wondering if it will indeed happen anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Famed for his unique but all-action style, Roy Jones Jr is a fighter that is idolised by many…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-383818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
