Barrios/Crowley is the final eliminator then I assume?

Once sillyman gets the check he'll find a way to make Barrios champ and stank rematch will happen for a legit belt on the line

Welterweight is trash

A lot of anus’s here repeatedly kept saying Boots needs to prove himself against a solid name like Ugas or Keef.
It’s pretty clear how Boots vs Ugas would have played out. Fückin toxic haters

Not so fast, Mario. You beat a mediocre boxer at the end of his career who places his head right in front of you the entire fight. Even then, you couldn't knock him out. The minute you step up in competition all your warts will come out. Your timid boxing style, puny punching power and weak chin. So enjoy this momentary victory and don't expect much if you fight a real contender. My advice to you is to make as many money fights you can before getting bombed out by superior opponents. Maybe a tune-up on an ESPN or Showtime card. Again - - go for the money before it's too late.

Boots would have ended a fight against Ugas somewhere in between "Oh say," and "Can you see." That pinata style of Ugas would be tailor made for Ennis. Boots needs a signature fight - - he is more than worthy of getting that opportunity. I'm not sure if he's ready for Crawford (assuming Bud stays at 147) but a marquee fight would be welcomed.

Hence the question - who is a “marquee” fighter at 147? Ugas and Keef are the names thrown around and we’ve seen what happened to Ugas. So who exactly should Boots fight before Crawford?

And who exactly did Kavaliauskas and Avanesyan beat to earn a shot at at Bud?

There is literally no one else for Bud to fight at 147 other than Boots.

How about Spence? Or Errol doesn't want to fight at 147 anymore? Ortiz Jr.? Stanionis? I looked at Boot's record and I don't recognize one boxer out of the entire lot. Not one. Crawford has fought Porter, Brook, Horn, Postol and Spence. OK - not apples to apples but certain name recognition. Crawford has a couple more fights in him and that's probably it. He'll be looking at the biggest money fights he can make. I'm not sure a Crawford-Ennis match would generate many PPV's. That's the reality. If Bud moves up to 154, that could possibly open up those titles but I don't know how these boxing associations work. Crawford-Charlo is probably the biggest fight Bud can make. It would be suicide to move up to 168 and try to fight Canelo. I don't think Alvarez would lose weight for a catch weight at 160. He looked pretty lean already against Charlo. And of course, the supposed rematch with Spence - - a fight few people want to see. If I were Crawford, I'd mandate the 147 weight. I think Spence would back out of that fight. Spence/Charlo? Two fighters on the rebound? I don't think Charlo wants anything to do with Tszyu. So a three belt fight with Crawford at 154 assuming the Spence hurdle is addressed?

He's not gonna fight at 147 again. The money is north of that weight at this point. Boots is the next guy in line to run that division and it's gonna be putrid as far as talent goes.
