    Roy jones vs hopkins were two prospects fighting for a vacant title. Not even similar.

    To get in the ring with the likes of previously undisputed fighters you need better than what ennis has done up to now. Or compensate it with very low risk or a shitton of money. Ennins does not fulfill the requirements.

    He will. Yes I agree. He will be a hell of fighter, I agree. He already is, he only needs to prove it.

    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.

    Plus ugas cant punch for ****. So that's quite unlikely that he can ruin ennis' fight with a couple of lucky punches. It is a very good choice, tbh. Improving the competition without taking too much risk, just in case.

    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.

    The winner of spence crawford will get the winner of charlo canelo. especially if its a win in dramatic fashion. Too much money to be made and either crawford or spence beat charlo or canelo at any weight. Skill matters.

    He should fight both of those guys, then he'd be ready for Bud & Spence - he needs 2 fights against solid guys then Boots is ready for anyone.

    You could be right but your not taking into consideration of the almighty ego and stubbornness which will infuse either guy to go for it again.

    Crawford looks massive in your av & he is stronger than people think, at first everyone thought the same about his punch & power at 140 but since being at welterweight deep down it's changed peoples mind they just don't want to admit it yet until the fight is done & the result is delivered & just like that you will see opinions switch up like nothing was ever said the fickle mind.

    Ive been sayin since the beginning crawford is the more natural 147. Spence is a beast. I feel like 154 is closer to his natural weight class. Was thinking spence should pull him up to 154 to have his best chance to win. Either guy who wins this fight in dramatic fashion is getting canelo/charlo winner next. If thats fights close. They might rematch and have bigger charlo fight canelo. AL has crawford for 2 fights. Dont think he wont want to capitalize and make the most money.

    I think crawford might retire if he beats spence then canelo
