    Mega talented and exciting to watch, but other than Stanionis who no one knows:
    1. Crawfrod likely to retire soon
    2. Spence probably going to 154
    3. Ortiz definitely going to 154

    Wish there were more names at WW for him to make some huge fights.

    Would be great to see him brutalize Josh Taylor.

    Maybe Keith will nut up and take the beatdown too?

    Taylor? That would be a waste of fight. He is not a 147 lb fighter.

    He did call out Stanionis. Think that fight gets made; Stan has been preparing for a war for too damn long.

    I'd love to see Ennis and Keith Thurman. Thurman still thinks he has what it takes, this would be his chance.

    Not really Broner came across as an ass and looked like a Mayweather wannabe.

    Ennis is a highly skilled switch hitter with blazing speed and very heavy hands.

    I agree with what your saying but again Broner's 4 championships in 4 divisions is a bit of smoke/mirrors. Looking at it without context it sounds impressive, until you realize he was winning championships off B level fighters.

    Broner didn't look like he had same potential as Ennis does early on to me, I remember seeing Broner get a gift vs Ponce De Leon early in his career.

    But again I agree we need to see more of Ennis against top guys, unfortunately I don't think he will get a shot at either Spence or Crawford.

    Boots sure looks the part of a fighter who could be great in the years to come. However, like Ali said about Foreman, "I haven't seen Boots in a tussle yet, where he throws his load and has to come back". Too bad Crawford and Spence will avoid him at all costs, just my opinion but who knows ? Maybe the winner will take on Boots in late 23 or early 24.

    Crawford is going to destroy Spence in 20 days. Spence won't want a rematch and neither will the public.
    Crawford is in a weird position, defend against Ennis or go to 154? But why go to 154, Jermell is gone so what is the big fight? I honestly think Crawford may retire..

    So what happens to Ennis? There are no big fights at 154 for him either

    I think they make that fight with Stanionis happen. I think they pay up to get Thurman after that and get him his cash out. PBC has no use for Ugas either. They would probably be happy to offer him up.
    After that there are a steady stream of challengers out there: Rashidi Ellis, Cody Crowley, etc.
    These are steady events but no big PPV challenges.

    He just needs to collect all the belts and accept quantity over quality as far as opponents. Start fighting 3x year. I don't see any opponent for him that makes a huge event in the next two years. Eventually maybe Haney or Lopez move up to 147.
