Antt brought it up but Porter kinda dismissed it.
I've noticed people looking at this two ways:
1. People are being heavily critical of Ennis and saying he's not elite.
2. People are kinda dismissing it, saying that with a better level of competition Ennis would be a better fighter.
People in particularly his Philly Cult talk like Boots is the 2nd coming of Roy Jones Jr and destroys everyone. Roy is an ATG and the context of how people talk about Boots is that he should be/will be an ATG.
Now if we can agree Elite does not = ATG then yea, boots is elite but his ATG mystique is looking shaky.
People have to be consistent in their language, because if we look at Tank nikkas try to talk like Tank is a bum how is protected when many will say he is Elite and the best in Class and even his peers say the same, but does Tank being Elite = ATG, that is a separate convo (that people often conflate).
