Which available fight would you want to see Jaron Ennis get tested with?

[davef]

Garcia would have been ok if he wasn't moving up

Thurman but don't want that smoke hes waiting to cash out his name vs Spence or Crawford


I guess Benn, Stanionis or Avanesyan seem more likely but I bet they pull out some wild card like Robert Guerrero or something

[Malvado]

Who the hell did Eurobum Mean Machine beat to make him some kind of real test!? He dropped overrated hype job Crawford, that's his claim to fame. He got stopped though still. Nobody really knew who the guy was until then because he beat nobody really worth a damn. Virgil Ortiz is still untested and unproven to me at the top level.

Danny Garcia(yeah he's going to 154lbs. next fight), Keith Thurman or Yordenis Ugas. These guys are levels above the Eurobums like Mean Machine, Avensyan and Stanionis. Beating Eurobums at welterweight is no test, it's expected from actual top welterweights. Welterweight hasn't ever been terrible enough that Eurobums are cream of the crop. Ennis would knock out all of the Eurobums with ease, including Mean Machine.

I personally want to see Boots fight Thurman. Keef needs another tune up 1st though. Boots could take out a Eurobum in the meantime like Stanionis.

Mean Machine has KO David Avanesyan who has knocked out Josh Kelly and hard hitting Kerman Lejarraga 2x.

Keith Thurman has been rocked multiple occasions by over the hill Josesito Lopez and Mario Barrios who was knocked out by Gervonta Davis a lightweight.

Shawn Porter would be the best test to date if you don't consider those fighters a challenge, but he has retired.

Stanionis! Fight for that other WBA Belt I think for a young fighters/rising contender like himself, winning that other WBA Belt for his first Belt is not a bad thing at all while he wait his turn for a shot at the real Belts

Thurman pricing himself out allegedly, but Boots vs Thurman is very interesting

Lol, no it is not happening next. I wish people would understand how the business works and how the sanctioning bodies work. Stanionis is the regular/world WBA champion. Ennis will be called as the IBF mandatory. There is ZERO reason for Stanionis to fight Ennis next. For what? He either gets elevated to Super WBA champion once if/when the winner of Spence/Crawford vacate or he gets to fight the winner for the WBA title. Ennis will be the IBF mandatory and if the winner of the super fight vacate, he will be fighting the next highest fighter on the IBF rankings for the vacant title. Pretty simple.

Ortiz was able to eek out a KO win?? Mean Machine won two rounds in that fight and ended up getting dropped 4x in the 8th round lol.

That is NOT the definition of a "eek" out KO win.

Is that the right spelling doe?

[Malvado]

Stationis is a pretty good win, he is coming up from a win against Butaev though struggled whenever the Russian boxed instead of fighting in the pocket.

Shawn Porter retired too soon as he is the best choice in my opnion, would have been interesting fight against Ennis.

Regis Prograis would be an excellent challenge if he moves up. A very hard hitter that is technically sound and fights at PBC.

I wouldn't call Stanionis a "Eurobum" at all. He's a solid, exciting fighter.
I'm sure he'd decapitate that UK bum Benn in 7 rounds. Benn is all hype.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Make Ennis-Stanionis or even Butaev. Butaev turned me into a fan in their last fight.

Ennis will most likely take Crowley for his next fight, according to our friend here.
Remember that Canadian fella, who barely managed to eke out a UD win
against over-the-hill Josesito Lopez?
Hardly a fight that could determine Ennis's standing in the sport.

They can fight again, but just won't be against each other. Stanionis especially is not going to risk his status to fight Ennis for no title. Why would he do that? Would Ennis take the fight? Of course, but he needs those types of names so it would make sense for him. Just that it makes no sense for Stanionis.

Ennis is likely fighting someone like Crowley this year before fighting for the title in early 2023.

The winner will almost certainly move up. If not, then Stanionis/Ennis will be right in line to fight for the title(s).

"Barely managed to eke out a UD win" lol.

I like that, good humour.

Regardless if that fight determines his standing in the sport is irrelevant. It's the fight that is likely to happen. You still have not given ONE good reason why Stanionis would risk his standing to fight Boots? What does he gain there when he's already the world WBA champion and he either fights for the vacant super title or better yet, he may just get elevated to super champion?

That's probably one of the best combinations I've ever seen
