    I'm a fan, but he didn't turn back the clock. He was facing movers in his last number of fights. Diaz, bless his soul was there to be hit. When Prograis fought Haney, it was apparent that he is too old to be using his legs to chase fighters and Catteral being illusive didn't help - he needed the right guy in front of him and he got it. But bless both of them, they are just amazing warriors and that is the bottom line.

      Diaz was washed and far outside his best weight.

      Prograis needs to hang up the gloves. He got some solid wins, won some titles, took some tough losses. He has nothing to be ashamed of and I don't want to see him take more damage.

        Please Regis, hang them up. Being repeatedly wobbled by someone who wasn’t even a devastating puncher at his best weight is a worrying sign. The ‘flat footed’ thing is because your legs have gone. Those are classic signs of being shot. Never mind that you’re unmarked and fresh-faced, so was Ali. It means you’re taking shots on the sides and top of your head, not your face. It doesn’t mean they aren’t doing damage. Please quit

          Rooroo was getting rocked to make Diaz look dangerous. Where has this power been?

            Not sure what he actually has left, but Prograis put himself in line for a decent payday so any hope of him walking away on a win is wasted. He will continue on until he is solidly beaten. The man will come to fight, though, and will go out on his shield. He knows no other way.

              Prograis was always overrated, and now he's washed. If you ever wondered why Prograis and Taylor never moved up to 147 after barking at Crawford, now you know.

                Cause they were too small? Lmfao hankey was huge at 140 against prograis so how small would they be at welter?

                  Are you on drugs??? Taylor is 5'10". Prograis is 5'8", same height as Bud. Bud would have destroyed both in the same night.

                    A flat footed boxer who always underestimates his opponent​s... That pretty much sums it up.
