    While I like Regis Prograis. However, he must sunset any ideas of ever becoming a champion, titleholder or even a title contender again.

    His boxing skills have diminished. In addition, to being dropped to the canvas in his last three previous fights; He can no longer see those punches coming anymore.

    Also, he is missing to land his punches by some two feet or more. He is a ruined fighter who should retire. He is now a gatekeeper status.

      I have been a Prograis fan for a long time, he doesn't have the reflexes anymore. He reminded me of Tony Lopez, power with upper body movement, slow legs but got the job done. Once those reflexes go and he has to think what to do because is not the way he fights he is always a step behind and looks slow or lost.

      I credit him with slowing Taylor down with his career, after their fight Taylor was not the same again.

          He was ruined by that cheater who rehydrated 25 pounds overnight
          Maybe point that out also when chitting on a fighter

            Never thought much of Prograis, and this was back around the time he struggled with Taylor. I remember how he and Taylor yapped at Bud about coming to 147 to meet him, but wisely never did. Now we see why. What guys like Crawford and Porter would have done to Prograis and Taylor would have been criminal.

            Getting dropped by feather fists like Devin and Catterall told me everything I need to know. Regis will never be a title contender at 140. Someone needs to be kind enough to tell him that soon.

              Regis Prograis isn't always right but he's always honest and fu#k the paycheck... Regis shows up to win.​

              I think l speak for a lot of people when I say I'm sick of all hype and I'd rather watch old Regis then young Haney dry hump a guy for 10 rounds. I'd rather watch Regis then Ryan Garcia show up for a paycheck. I'd rather watch Regis then some youtuber bash a hand picked 50 year old . These aren't fights, they're hyped crap and the next time one of them gets cut I'll be the guy throwing tampons in the ring... that'll be me. At least Canelo was once a fighter before he cherry picked his long list of non Mexican no hopes. Turns out that Canelo is the original ICE agent, Mexicans put the food on the table but need not apply because they're not welcomed.

              So yes, you should feel lucky to have Regis Prograis and if you don't get that it's because you don't know any better.

                Stop copping out with the excuses already! The fact is Regis is now a washout fighter. He can’t do it anymore. Father Time is undefeated. Plain and simple!

                    Regis Prograis came to fight, he made both of those fights worth watching because it sure as hell wasn't Jack or Devin "ant-man" Haney.

                      How do you get dropped by feather fists like Devin and Catterall, though?
