Comments Thread For: Prograis: Hooker Fight Will Happen One Day, We Honestly Don't Like Each Other

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Regis Prograis isn't ready to let his ongoing feud with Maurice Hooker end without an actual fight in the ring. The twice-canceled matchup of former junior welterweight titlists has left Prograis out of the ring since his title-losing effort to Josh Taylor in their World Boxing Super Series 140-pound final last October. Prograis and Dallas' Hooker (27-1-3, 18KOs) were due to meet at a maximum catchweight of 143-pounds on April 17, only for the initial wave of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to cancel the event.

Hooker is not good. He is too big for 140, yet doesnt have the power to hurt 147 lb fighters. He is just SOL. Prograis should out athlete this dude.

Taylor and Ramirez should start fighting other contenders if they dont fight each other, the whole 140 division is on hold

Hooker a scrub who’s lucky that Hearn couldn’t get any quality fighters to sign on with him

Totally agree.

Hooker is too shook to commit to 147 because he knows his skinny @$$ would get folded there.

True, but I hope Prograis learned form that defeat. For some reason he thought he was Iron Mike and didn't have a plan B. If Hooker's chin can stand the heat and keep Prograis honest only using a stiff jab and it goes to the cards... anything could happen.

Prograis should've asked Haymon for Barrios right now! Hooker is supposed to be fighting Josesito Lopez @ 147! He better bring his lunch pail!

Does anyone @ 140 want smoke with Shohjahon Ergashev? MAN UP!

He don't have the power at 147 + He's two real life friends are holding all the belts Spence and Crawford he will have to wait for one or both to move up

Too much heat at welterweight. I didn't even know he was friends with both.
