Comments Thread For: Maurice Hooker Moving To Welterweight, Wants Big Fights

[Diamond101]

Broner went back to 140...none of the top guys will fight Hooker...nothing to gain for them.

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

They say he's 6' 1". And I agree, that's too tall and long to be starving down to 140. He may need a slow year to put some real meat and muscle on that frame though. At 6'1 he should go all the way up to SWW.

Eat and work young man.

I wish him the best at 147... I like how he can box, but if he has to exchange he isn't afraid. The Ramirez fight was a classic while it lasted. Damn how much more stacked will 147 be when Prograis, Ramirez, and Hooker move up?

He is tall, but i doubt he can compete with elite there. Maybe he should fight Collazo for a start?

[P4Pdunny]

He doesn't beat any of the top welters.

Hey Hooker u didnt really meant what u said right? U may win some fights at WW but theres no chance for u win against the Top Welters. U suck in Jr Welter dont expect u wont suck in Welter.

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?

No. When the super and light divisions were added the WBA called it one thing and the WBC called it another. Every sanctioning body has its own name for each intermediate division.
