Should have moved a long time ago. He's 5'11 with an 80 inch reach, wtf has he been afraid of?

I can't see who he beats at 147. I think he knows he can't beat Prograis, and he's hoping to land a low-risk/high-reward fight at WW. He can probably earn a bigger paycheck losing at 147 than losing at 140.

I hate how the boxing media intermixes 'super lightweight' and jr welterweight' all the time. Can't we just pick one term and stick with it?

WW is going to be a "tall" order for Mo.

Too bad its his best choice at this time.

Exactly! He could've got a fight with Crawford for huge money, and got beat up by Ramirez for less! Looking forward to seeing Hooker vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.! in Texas real soon!

He is going to get knocked out. Golden Boy should feed him to Vergil Ortiz.

I can see him putting up a good fight with most of the top 10 guys in the WW division just not Crawford or Spence

I get that different sanctioning bodies use different names for divisions but I vote for “Jr”.

Who is he going to fight? Dont see him beating any of the top WWs. He will probably get one fight then fed to Ortiz
