Could sneak in in about 2 or 3 years, spence moved up, other top dogs ageing, yeleussinov still prime. Undoubtably there will be new welters getting better, 140s moving up, and could even have a lopez/haney/garcia in welter trying to fill the gap also.

I would give him a fair chance of getting a welter belt at some point in the next few years. but i dont think he will be the best welterweight in the world at any point in the next few years.

Nah hes like the 147 Hughie Fury. Too amaterish style.

Theres better 147 guys coming up like Ortiz Jr, Stanionis, Besputin, Butaev, Ennis, Golub, Donovan

If exactly Crawford and/or Spence is/are on top, Yel won't become a champ, but, if some abc-strap is somebody's else, he will have a bigger opportunity. Anyway, he needs to be proven more.

He looked very impressive against faded Julius Indongo, who at age 37 is a shot fighter. He is a few years away from running with the big dogs at 147, but is among the young WW prospects like Boots Ennis, Vergil Ortiz & Stanionis.

Hearn at Matchroom is talking about matching him up with Ortiz in the near future, but I would call Vergil a slight favorite in that matchup at this point.

Eddie Hearn is interested in matching unbeaten Daniyar Yeleussinov against the highly-rated Vergil Ortiz Jr if possible. The Matchroom Boxing USA promoter Hearn says he would like to see the 2016 Olympic gold medalist Yeleussinov (10-0, 6 KOs) take on Ortiz Jr (16-0, 16 KOs).

Like I said , Dani is good, but Vergil is a guy looking elite

Dani could win a title the way jamal james won a regular title, but think the top tier wws too much

This scenario might be possible (2022/2023) : Crawford is retired without a loss, Spence is at LMW, even MW, but Tailor, Ramirez, Prograis and T. Lopez are competing at WW. Where is Daniyar's position ? Difficult to say..................
