Comments Thread For: Prograis: I Want To Be a Great, I'm Chasing Immortality

This kid will be fun to watch for the next couple years to come. Several potential classic match-up's ahead for this future star of the sport. His defense is a bit open & he takes his share of shots or whatever... But until it is exploited, I'll be watching & waiting.

Pretty much my thoughts but what I also see is a lack of fundamentals. He reminds me a bit of Naz but he isn't as dynamic as Naz was. He is very quick and has great eyes but he misses a lot and swings wildly. Tremendous athleticism but some athleticism and better fundamentals would see him get unravelled - by Mikey?

Isn’t he with Lou?

Not sure. If he’s with Lou, that’s good. He’s kinda free of all the Haymon, DLH, Arum drama.

Prograis at 30 is a late bloomer or well managed? He can go up in weight and be recognized at 147!

Exactly what I was thinking. He could go to 147 and also make a name for himself

Prograis is very talented, I like this kid a lot. Confident but not too coc*y. Seems to have his head on right too. Says enough, not a Broner or Twitter fingers like Porky Davis who is all bark and no bite.

The oldest man to ever live was 122, so he probably won't be immortal.

Come back and say that in 93 years.

There is enough talent at 140 he can be great. But he may have to move up to the big talent at 147 to be "immortal".

He has been on my top 10 for a while now. Super talented

Like a dog chases his tail. Ol' Lou is great at feeding an overinflated head.
