    Why move up when he was a reigning champion at 140lbs? Now, he should challenge Ortiz Jr., Ugas, or Jeff Horn to a fight. Defeat either of those guys and he'll then get a shot at a belt holder.

        There's a current thread about Kovalev not being a ********** , he may want to look at this Hooker thread ?

            He was big for 140 would like to see a fight or 2 before jumping in with the top 4 in Crawford, Spence, Pacquiao or Porter. I think Broner and Garcia are the safer names he can go up against first.

                Why? You don't like the sounds of WBA Super World Super Lightweight World champion?

                Thats music to my ears right there......

                    He is very good friends with Crawford. I doubt they'll ever fight each other. He was also not gonna get a shot at the PBC guys. It made sense to stay at 140.

                        real boxing fans just say 140

                                He was a bit drawn at 140 so this could be a good move for him. The fact that he and Ramirez risked it all against each other got my full respect. Hope he does well.

                                    I dont see him beating any of the top guys at 147. Think they will eventually match him with jessie vargas

                                        147 is a war zone oh, I don't see him handling their power at that level. I think he's just caught in no man's land.
