Maurice Hooker needs to grow up

[ShaneMosleySr]

I don’t think I have to say anything.

You’re a professional boxer. Make weight.

And enjoy welterweight because you’re not even in the top 10 in that division.

What if he just wants to go up a division?
Regardless of whether I think he'll do good at welter or not: what if he wants to go up?
Canelo does it.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He’s a former 140 pound champion.

He had to kill himself to make a 143 pound catchweight recently.

He signed a contract to fight another catchweight fight and couldn’t make weight.

It’s not an issue of him wanting to move up, it’s an issue of him not training seriously. His team has allowed him extra weight multiple times and he still can’t do it.

I see...this issue you have with him isn't him wanting to go up to 147. It's him not being a professional and making weight for the fights he's signed to complete. I agree, a lack of professionalism.

Hooker has looked a little on the skinny side so time for him to go to 147 instead of playing with catch weights.

[champion4ever]

The man is literally 6 feet tall. He needs to move up in weight to the 147 lbs division because it's obviously clear that he can no longer make 140 in a healthy manner and has outgrown the division.

[AKAcronym]

If it's that hard to make weight, it hurts your ability to take a shot over time. Definitely needs to move up.

[Mammoth]

I'd be interested in seeing what he can do at 147 tbh

I apologize for being unclear.
