Terence
\nCrawford<\/a> believes he is a smarter boxer than Jaron \u201cBoots\u201d
\nEnnis. <\/p>\n

Ennis (36-0) challenged Xander Zayas for the WBO and WBA junior
\nmiddleweight titles on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York. Ennis scored
\nthree knockdowns en route to a seventh-round stoppage win over
\nZayas. Fans have since started plotting a matchup between \u201cBoots\u201d
\nand Crawford, who retired last December. <\/p>\n

However, Crawford confirms that he won\u2019t come back from retirement
\nto fight Ennis. Crawford lauded Ennis in every aspect, labelling
\nhim a threat to anyone. However, Crawford believes he would
\noutsmart Ennis.<\/p>\n

Nothing to Prove<\/h2>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t worry about coming back to prove anything,\u201d Crawford told
\n\u201cThe Porter Way Podcast.\u201d \u201c\u2026 To credit \u2018Boots,\u2019 he is a tremendous
\ntalent and he\u2019s no walk in the park for no one. He is a threat to
\nanyone that he steps a foot in the ring with. He got tremendous
\nspeed, he got great power, defense, reflexes. But the only thing
\nthat I can say is, I\u2019m 10 steps ahead of him in smarts. And I think
\nthat\u2019s where he would get in trouble.\u201d <\/p>\n

Crawford (42-0) won 18 world titles across five divisions before
\nretiring undefeated last year. \u201cBud\u201d is considered among the
\ngreatest boxers of all time. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo credit Boots, he\u2019s a tremendous talent and he\u2019s no walk in the
