Comments Thread For: Prograis On Recent Mikey Garcia Loss: 'I Was The Biggest Loser; I Would Have Destroyed Mikey'

[Tony Green]

I don’t think anyone who knows about boxing ever thought Regis was anything less than a very close number two to JT. He would probably have a chance of stopping Jose Ramirez and he would be undisputed if JT didn’t exist.

I think you’re doing Josh a disservice . Fury has never cleaned out a division, Canelo picked the easiest one to clean out and Crawford’s undisputed reign seems a long long time ago. There are very few boxers with the balls to enter a 3 round competition, even with belts and money on the line.

Im not the biggest nelo fan, but beating an undefeated Callum smith, an undefeated saunders, (who I picked to do something special against nelo) and an undefeated Caleb plant, doesn't really strike me as the easiest division to fully unify, although on the flipside, if u asked me to think of an easier one I may struggle

It's amazing what a very close win/loss can do for fighter's careers. Whilst I see Taylor in most top 10 P4P lists, and often as high as 5, Prograis is kind of forgotten about. People (fans of Taylor especially) seem to forget that Taylor vs Prograis was razor close, and could have went either way. Nash had it 115-113 Taylor, but would have been fine with it the other way. Great fight too, would love a rematch of that, and Nash favours Prograis. Taylor is great, but he's getting hyped like he's on the Fury, Canelo, Crawford level, he isn't. Nash out.

Find it hard to care when Prograis is ducking any good fight in place for money grabs. He doesn’t deserve anything until he fights a Zepeda or someone in the top 10. He fought no one before Taylor and he’s trying to not fight anyone again, waste of talent, but it’s his life and his business moves.

callum smith was coming off an embarrassing loss to john ryder(robbery) saunders not a real 168 pounder who had fought absolutely no one and beat some random unranked guy for a belt, plant was a good solid fighter in a weak division. thats a pretty easy road to unification. hell of a lot easier than going through beterbiev and bivol...oh but canelos not a 175 pounder...hes a cruiserweight though!

True I forgot about the Ryder debacle but still smith is a good solid fighter imo, and saunders, although he hadn't got the best resume, I fully expected him to give nelo his toughest test since Golovkin, and up until round 8 when nelo broke his face he was really in that fight, but that's why I said I may not be able to give u an easier division to unify as after giving it some thought whilst writing it I was stumped

Regis needs to pipe down and stop living in the past, beating Garcia or Broner doesn't mean much. Chase another young buck on the rise. The money fight would have been nice for him but he has some serious talent and needs to showcase it. I like his attitude for the most part he isn't too brash just supremely confident. He lost to the best 140lber in a close fight, guys like Zepeda are out there fresh off a nasty KO win maybe go in that direction?

To be honest, one the toughest things about undisputed is navigating the politics . JT had an easy route in that respect. I just wish the WBSS was happening in more divisions more regularly.

Worst decision he ever made was moving up to face errol

Mikey G and Kell Brook going up 2 weight classes above their natual weight has to be 2 of the biggest, boxing blunders in recent history. Canelo fighting Floyd at a catchweight was also another dumb move too.

I never saw one 9-3 scorecard out of thousands online, experts and fans. The most common score was 115-113 Taylor, followed by 114-114, followed by 115-113 Prograis, then a few 116-112 Taylor, but that's giving Taylor everything imo. Very, very close fight. 117-111 would have been one of the worst scorecards of all-time. Nash out.

Yeah insecond that! 117-111 is TERRIBLE.

115-113 Taylor was mine.

[Nash out]

115-113 Taylor was mine.

I had exactly the same score. It seems some fans (closet fans) of Taylor's want to look back on it as a routine win, he had to go through hell to win that fight. Postol also was pushing Taylor very close until the knockdown. I see Taylor as world-class, but he is not amongst the elite for me, in fact, I believe Crawford would make him look 2nd-rate. Nash out.
