      these writers - looking at you Keith Idec - have no clue how to contextualize - "Haney neat Prograis much more convincingly than Taylor did" - this is a true statement - but lacking context. The Prograis that fought Taylor was a better fighter than this last weekend's version of Prograis - and part of that slippage probably occurred during the Taylor fight which was a vicious fight that likely diminished both of them.

      Not saying that 2023 Haney woulddn't beat 2019 Prograis or Taylor, he likely would, but not so convincingly as he did this past weekend.

        Taking advantage of the other boxing organizations championships belt's of which there are far to many of, really doesn't mean anything.
        It will mean something to Prograis - he is looking to please himself, not you

            I think a lot of boxers say they want to try MMA, and then they do a couple private training sessions with some wrestling and jiu jitsu guys and find out just how inadequate they are and how many years it’s going to take to get to even a functional level, and these ambitions kind of go away.

              Progrey has always looked towards the money first -- then how to develop as a fighter

                He's delusional and will be forgotten 5 years from now.

                  After that goose egg against Haney, this guy is talking about a championship? Wait, more - - it's three belts! Not so fast. MMA guys will put you down on your tats within the first 15 seconds of the fight. Then again, you could lay an egg on the MMA side for some extra retirement dough. Bet against yourself, of course. Make sure to layoff enough bets under fictitious names. One, two, three - - Cancun!

                    You lost every round of the fight vs Haney! What makes you think you have another run! Go and enjoy life with the little money you made in your career!

                      He looked totally shot in his last two fights, i gave him the benefit of doubt after the first and even embarrassingly gave him a good chance of beating haney but he looks done to me.
