    I see him and Crawford getting into a firefight and Ennis catching Crawford and stopping him in the late rounds. I see Spence and Ennis having a war but Ennis being able to fight in the pocket just as good and Spence, plus being bigger, faster, and more athletic, will win him a decision. Thoughts?
    He hasn't fought anybody in 29 fights. Don't you think that is a bit odd?

      I like Boots


      Just don’t think he’s got everything it takes to beat Bud or Spence right now
      But he is on the right path , imo he needs a few more fights
      Ugas fight would be a very telling story , as I don’t seeThurman being very competitive
      You can definitely tell he’s a special fighter and not from tonight’s fight

        Nobody good will fight Ennis anytime soon at 147 -154.

        This dude is a monster. He will be avoided fighter, than he will pick a vacant belt and make like 6 defenses against low opposition, stopping all his opponents.

        Than somebody good will step up and fight him for a payday, beat him and he will get no credit for that. Than everybody will be like "Ennis was never good".

        He will go Wilder route.

          Even if Ugas begins asking for the fight, they won’t feed him to Ennis coming off a loss to Spence. They will make him fight Butaev or Jamaal James…then Ennis.

          I can’t see Thurman taking this fight especially after barely skating by a new WW in Barrios. Let’s see if they throw the bag at someone in the top 12-20 range next up.

          Ennis isn’t getting Bud or Spence. The latter are starting to think HOF moves and best business practice going deeper into their 30’s.

          Let’s see!

                  Very possibly

                  Spence and Crawford are at the back end of their careers. Spence even said he’s not the same fighter he was pre crash ‘but still good enough to beat most of these guys’

                  My question is how much dog he has him. Will he fold when he’s in a gruelling fight. Etc

                    Disagree.

                    He leaves his head wide open.

                    We think Crawford does him like he did Brook.

                    We think Spence does him like he did Chema.

                      I guess it because he was undisputed at 140 although it wasn’t all that stacked at the time
