    Hes had 30 fights hes rated number 3 Welterweight behind the top 2 Spence, Crawford, let's see him get his shot.

    Yeah it would be nice if he maybe fought someone like Staninios first, but none of these fighters or anyone in Welterweight division, is going to prepare him for Crawford or Spence or give him a really "Tough test".

    Enough p**** footing around let's see Ennis fight the winner of Crawford/Spence.

    Ain't going to happen unless Boots coming up to 154. Spence is moving to 154 after his fight with Crawford. The rematch clause is also set for 154 weight as well.

    What about if Spence vs Crawford is a one sided fight or very emphatic victory that there is no need for a rematch ?

    Well, it doesn't matter because the loser has 30 days to activate it. I know Spence has said he would fight Boots, but it would have to be after Crawford and at 154. So, if Spence wins, he's dropping the belts. This will allow the new 147 generation to go after the belts. I think Boots will rather start collecting those belts first before following Spence to 154.

    Crawford should fight him regardless how the spence fight goes.
    Boots can be his Floyd vs Canelo legscy investment type fight. He needs it with his weak ass resume.

    H2H wise Ennis would be seen as by far Crawford's biggest test though at Welterweight.

    Shawn Porter retired though and hasn't fought since 2021, I don't think Ennis would get much credit for beating him at this point.

    Ennis is also a bigger threat H2H than Porter was.

    Theres only two other guys worth fighting for Ennis at this point, Staninios or maybe Thurman who himself is inactive and has only fought twice in 4 years. But I don't see that either name really prepares him for Spence or Crawford or does much for his standing.

    Sometimes beating a younger talented boxer that ends up becoming a hofatg fighter can add to the aging boxers legacy.
    Think Lennox vs Vitali, morales over pac or ali vs foreman.

    Still, if he ends up with a great career it can add to his legacy. Like rjj vs bhop then for example.

    But I thought Porter announced his retirement after the Crawford fight ? I haven't heard anything about him fighting again.

    I agree, even an inactive out of retirement Porter would be better than the likes of Villa, Lipinets or any of the other guys Ennis has beaten.

    But Porter isn't coming back so it's pointless chasing it unless Porter says he wants it.

    Ugas would be a good next opponent for Ennis. He's tried and tested, beat an old Pac and gave Spence the odd tough moment and would provide a good comparison to Spence should he beat Ugas.

    Yeah that would be crazy, but I got Spence winning. However, him beating Spence twice would be crazy, plus he will get a shot at Charlo too at 154. 3 fight deal for him.

    Spence and Crawford will be each other's last WW opponent. Spence is definitely going to 154 (he's said countless times the only reason he hasn't was Crawford) and Crawford, if he doesn't retire is as well.

    Boots is not getting either unless he goes to 154 and he said he wants all the belts at WW before he does. Timeframes don't align

    He should, but unfortunately I think we get at least 2-3 Fights out of Spence-Crawford. Boots-Stan should happen next.
