    Other than Stanionis, Ennis and Ortiz Is there any other upcoming fighters at welterweight to look out for?

    Danny Garcia moved up in fear of becoming used as a steppingstone for rising contenders, Keith Thurman looked quite vulnerable Mario Barrios who was knocked out by a lightweight, Conor Benn could be banned temporarily for a long period of time, and Yordenis Ugas is on his way out.

    The top 10 ranking fighters aren't really recognizable names.

    All I know that there is Rashidi Ellis who was benched by GBP was just signed at PBC, Alexis Rocha and possibly Josh Taylor.
    I see Daniyar Yeleussinov being in the mix. He was a Gold Medalist apparently, 30 yrs old now. He was fighting on DAZN but then left his promoter and I haven't seen him since.

      Sadly while I do see he is quite talented, but due to his inactivity I see it difficult for him to climb the rankings any time soon as he going to turn 32.

      According to twitter source Batman Boxing, Daniyar Yeleussinov said:

      "I would have stayed with Matchroom but their offer included slave-like conditions. It was worthless. I had to commit to just $100K for each fight even if this was against some of the biggest names in the division like Conor Benn, Vergil Ortiz or Errol Spence. These fights should earn me six or seven times that amount! And I had no right to increase my fee at all."

      His manager said they has negotiations with several promoters and one of them is Probellum.

      What a waste of talent, to make it worse he is going to be one of the last Golden Olympians for years to come.

        He has had 30 fights, when the hell are you going to fight them? When they are old men? They are both overrated and not on the Dela Hoya level so if they think boots is that good then he is ready. Vargas had a great fight with Oscar anyway. Your garbage mentality is exactly what is wrong with boxing today. Pathetic.
        Not really, fans like you just want to rush thing and when these guys lose people like YOU just move on to the next fight and start calling the guy that lost a "Disappointment"

        30 Fights is great but WHO has Boots fought? Asking for Boots to test himself before jumping in with Elites is not asking for much, he can do that in 1 fight vs a Thurman or somebody then go straight for his IBF Mandatory vs Spence in 2023

        Kinda Funny, yet every younger fighter who Challenges Canelo is ask to "Challenge Themselves" "Raise Their Stock" "Fight Somebody" yet this is not the Case for Boots and Ortiz? Instead Spence and Crawford "SHOULD FIGHT THEM NOW!"

        THIS is what is wrong with Boxing nobody in it and none of the fans of it are consistent! You guys want to make rules as you go and based on who you like and Don't like

        I've said Benavidez and Charlo should fight for the shot at Canelo, then why not Boots and Ortiz fight for the shot at Spence or Bud? The Funny thing is, Benavidez and Charlo actually been Champions before, neither Ortiz and Boots have but yet the Champions are asked to do MORE while these guys should just get a shot because guys on a Forum think they're worthy of one NOW

        The Laughable HYPOCRISY in this Sport all around, that is the REAL Issue!
