147 division has historically been a great division, but these days it's on a serious low after Crawford moved up. Ennis obviously is a really good fighter, but I think it would make sense to do some kind of tournament to bring back interest.

Ennis (IBF)
Norman Jr (WBO)
Barrios (WBC)
Stanionis (WBA)

I would propose:

QFs
Barrios (c) vs Ramos (Rematch for WBC belt)
Norman Jr (c) vs Papot (Decent first defence for the WBO belt)
Stanionis (c) vs Giyasov (WBA Defence that I believe was ordered)
Ennis (c) vs Benn (IBF Defence and a top fight)

Then obviously, have the four winners fight in the semis (make a draw, I suppose) and the winners of those in the final.
These fights could really bring back some interest in the division imo.

Make it happen, Turki!

147
Let's do it .
Ennis just got offered Ortiz at 154 and didn't want to know, how hardcore is Welterweight these days.

Jin sasaki should be in the mix

That's true totally forgot about him. He'd be a better option over Papot.
