Shakur Stevenson believes Jaron Ennis has the talent to become one of boxing’s leading fighters, but he still needs a major victory to prove it. A verbal exchange with Terence Crawford does not accomplish that.

Shakur saw little value in dissecting which fighter won an argument. He would rather see Boots demonstrate his level against Ortiz or WBC juni
