    Some of us are sitting here "weight-shaming" Prograis while Hooker has a history of struggling to make weight. Either Hooker needs to move on to other business at 147 that we KNOW he'll have problems with, or make the 143 lb limit and keep his relevancy in the sport.

    Hooker is one of those guys who "almost" gets it right, which happens way too often for me to believe in him as much as others do. If we're gonna be fair here, a Prograis fight would've done more for Hooker than Prograis, whom is pretty much in the same boat as Hooker when it comes to losing after stepping up.

    So unprofessional on Hooker's end, but what more do you expect?

    But the 'Tart-Tomato' Josh Taylor is never going to become undisputed, just like that bum Tyson Fury. The American Olympians are going to spoil your plans. Jose Ramirez, Deontay Wilder are going to bring the belts back home.
    Yeah Elie, you are complete Muppet
    talking out your arse like always.
    Never giving credit to the BEST in the division. You ought to get help since your mental state is always up and down. I guess the hormone therapy isn't working to well. Keep on hatin' on the UK fighters so you can eat your words and embarrass yourself.

    Former IBF jr. welterweight champ Ivan Baranchyk is taking on Jose Zepeda, presumably later this year. Both are highly ranked by the IBF-WBC-WBO.

    Regis Pro and Dibella need to hustle otherwise 'Rougarou' maybe sitting on the sidelines watching the winner of Baranchyk-Zepeda get a mandatory position.

    I haven't heard that Taylor and Ramirez are moving up and I wouldn't call Regis Prograis a gatekeeper at all. As a matter of fact I think he would be the toughest opponents that any of those "kids" have faced, especially Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

    Teofimo Lopez vs Regis Prograis early 2021 would be dope.

    Prograis vs Hooker

    these guys are all frauds as they talk about wanting to fight the best, well Myke fox is willing to step in and fight Hooker since Prograis is not ready to move up

    I hope so because at 140lbs, in his loss vs Taylor, Prograis proved that he belongs with the elite at 140lbs while Hooker did not do so in his loss vs Ramirez.

    A bit like Jessie Vargas and Brook, Hooker seems to be caught between two divisions: can't make 140lbs but probably not "big" enough to hang at 147lbs vs the elite.
