I understand your entitlement criticism and can agree to a point, but I think that finance board of directors analogy is a bit off. Modern fighters have learned that patience isn't really a virtue in boxing. This sport is about making money and leaving with your heath. Neither of those things are generally achieved by patient fighers who toe the line for 20 years. You have to make your own way through tireless self-promotion; clawing past the rest however you can. Some people in other fields of work may not understand or appreciate that, but maybe they have a pension to lean on.

Well this was an interesting take and one that makes you think. Well written.

Amazing how guys ranked 18th always yao the most, knowing they have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting a title shot. What does 34 year old Prograis gain smashing a prospect?

i've been rooting for hitchins since he turned pro, and i like his growth, confidence, and skillset, but prograis is not steve sparks or montana love. Regis doesn't have a problem boxing or whooping ass, he does whatever he needs to for the win. So, until richardson learns how to really sit down on some of his punches, prograis isn't the right target.

I like Hitchins also and also don't think he's going to beat Prograis. However, I still see him trying anyway as a good thing not a career altering blunder. Just do it!

JWW is an interesting division now that Taylor's belts have been relinquished. Regis Prograis has the name, but he's one of the more overrated guys in the sport right now. There are several contenders at 140 who can beat him, so it doesn't make much sense to wait him out. Rougarou is not going to be champ for long.

Nonsense. You clearly don't have an eye for legitimate boxing ability if you think Prograis is overrated and there are several contenders who can beat him right now. He's clearly #1 in the division after the decline of Josh Taylor. He is solid skills and power. Tell me, who are the several contenders who beat him?

I think Hitchins must be just trying to hype himself up by talking about Prograis. If he's not another delusional narcissist he should realize he's nowhere near ready to fight Regis. Regis would teach him a lesson in humility if they fought.

I sure do. Guys ranked 17th always chirp the most, knowing there's little chance they'll get a title shot. What does Prograis gain crushing a prospect?
