Tbh, I could care less. Hes chosen thw path of least resistance his whole career. I doubt he'll test himself for 2 or 3 fights at 154, if in fact he does move up.
If it's not a top opponent he'll be showing he's right back to his old ways. His opponents prior to Stanionis have a combined win rate of around 60%. Most of the guys on the P4P lists have opponents with win rates well over 90%...
When he's got limited fighters like Rolly who want to fight him, he's not being ducked. I hope he's found his appetite for smoke, and fighting and crushing Stanionis like he did went a long way for me, but he HAS to keep his momentum and stop letting his dad and Hearn kill big fights for him.
My guess is Hearn is trying to find a way in convincing him to fight Conor Benn.
I'll be very surprised if he says yes to Conor Benn for his next fight.
that's really up to his promoter, mr eddie hearn.
last i heard, eddie wasn't willing to budge on a $300K pricepoint difference to make a norman fight happen
eddie overpaid an unknown eurobum who has no fans in america
because of that, eddie doesnt have enough funds to match that same payday to an exciting american champion with a fanbase in america
what a horrible promoter.
overpays europoors
underpays american excellence
denis is the guy turning people down left right and centre, eddie must be pulling his hair out with him, hes terrified of losing him tho so he will say nothing so far lol id say

Ennis vs Norman then move up, he could unify as the be pretty close, but not sure beating Barrios has any meaning at this point.
He is obviously got the opportunity to be catapulted due to fighting Gervonta Davis and is likely going to be protected by PBC unless a cherry pick goes wrong.
Might as well fight Rolly.
Waste of time. Move up and try to get someone like Tellez (will be emailed to WBA 154 champ when Crawford vacates), Ortiz, Murtazaliev, or the winner of Zayas/Garcia or Fundora/Tszyu II.
If he can't get another 147 unification it's time to try to get a 154 strap.
