    Jaron Ennis is the next P4P king, how many weight classes do you think he could dominate realistically?

    ASSUMING he dominates 147, he probably gets a trinket belt at 154. Not impressed.

    Hes got alot of talent but Hes gotta start fighting top level guys first before i can even talk about him dominating any divisions.

    They got to be willing to fight him, that's the issue. I honestly don't think any of the top guys want anything to do with him tbh, and I don't blame them. High risk low reward.

    Yep, sad but true - Ennis has the potential to be the best fighter today P4P but needs the higher-end competition to bring out the potential greatness, to see how brilliantly he shines against someone that can actually fight. One or 2 fights against better caliber guys would be ideal before stepping in the ring with TC or ESjr.

    His frame looks like he could handle at least a one division jump and be effective, maybe 2?

    Framewise he could probably be an effective MW. He has talked about going up as high as SMW eventually.

    I would slow your roll until he actually steps up in opposition talent. He’s got great potential, good size and I’m a fan. Let’s see how he does against the top guys in his division first and take it from there. It’s not fair for the young man but I see great things from him in the future.

    Still waiting on Spence to move to 160 like his fanbase has been saying he will for years.

    Dominate is a big ask. I don't think he dominates at 147 because he won't be there long enough before he moves up in weight. If he's going to dominate anywhere it will be 154. I could see him doing that.

    Crawford has won titles in 3 weight divisions, undisputed in 1. Ennis hasnt even fought anyone inside the top 10, thats the difference. Crawfords resume is weak, but Ennis' is weaker.

    Are we even sure Ennis can dominate 147?
    Vergil Ortiz looks pretty good. Personally, i see them splitting the belts and avoiding each other.

    Edit: but again, Ortiz did say he was moving up soon because of health concerns. He'd still be a problem for Ennis at 154

    Spence will be 33 soon and has never moved up, but never gets criticized like others fighters have.

    Doesn't matter. Ennis has petitioned to fight both but neither have even acknowledged him. Charlo, Inoue, Canelo, Spence, Danny, Thurman, Bivol, Wilder, Loma, Fury, Haney, GGG, and Usyk all have proven more than Crawford
