Ennis should move up to 154 lbs

There's nobody at 147 lbs. It's pointless to stay there. If you want be considered a great move up to 154 and fight spence, tszyu, charlo, and bud to make history. Not only it would it help his resume but he would make way more money fighting those guys than fighting bums at 147. He should move up if he keeps claiming he's being avoided at 147. He's big for this division and can easily transition to the next higher division. Why not?

I agree , stay at 147 and show us something People saying he should move up is total bullchit imo I understand the frustration with Ennis' career, and that's why some are calling for him to move up. But, the reality is that moving up to 154 won't automatically make it easier to get fights. The political landscape at 154 is worse than 147. Unless IBF makes him mandatory, he'll have no leverage and get lost in the shuffle. No 154lb contender will willingly jeopardize their ranking to face Ennis. First step for Ennis is to absolutely destroy Avanesyan. Don't carry Ava to get some rounds, run him over and make a statement. The problem is what comes after Avanesyan: Chukhadzhian is once again #1 IBF. If Ennis is forced by the IBF to face him, then MR needs to get creative.

Move up and fight the fighters he avoided in the first place ? Doesn't make sense. Ennis is Jeff Lacy 2.0, they are not planning on derailing this fast ?

Eh.. Ennis is in a tough spot. Neither division has good opponents that want to face him right now. At 154, he has Bud who is 37 and is looking for big money and legacy fights. He has Spence, who is likely his best bet, and he has Tzsyu who can also be a good opponent, but is very dangerous. That's pretty much it - 154 has never been a glamour division. Not sure Jermell will ever fight again, and sure as hell not at 154. If he stays at 147, he can collect some hardware at Welter while waiting for a popular fighter to move up to WW - Garcia, Haney, or Teo. 160 completely fucked too lol

If the IBF can guarantee him a title shot and he's having trouble making weight, then Ennis should move up. Otherwise, he should stay at WW and unify. I agree , stay at 147 and show us something People saying he should move up is total bullchit imo

He should. But he will keep on crying nobody fights him in a dead division.

But then that would remove his moniker of the most avoided fighter to go with his email belt That would make no sense Your raping him of his intrigue lol Jaron "Boots" Ennis would be gladly welcomed by all guys in the 154 division. Ortiz, Tszyu, Lubin, Harrison, Castano, Mendoza, Bohachuk, Fundora, Spence, Madrimov, TBud, the list is endless...

If he and his fans keep complaining about him being avoided, then that's the most sensible thing to do, move the hell up. 154 is a very deep division. He won't run out of fights.

If he stays put he might get a shot at these JWWs who talk about moving up like Haney, Garcia or Lopez.
