    Says making 140 hurt him. I don't see Hooker being a factor at all at 147. Easy work for everyone.

    Mikey would KO him.

    I don't think Hookers an easy night for anyone at 147, he's long and can bang. He has too much of a willingness to brawl and fight small which will probably cost him agaiunst the top guys but I can see him in good fights vs the rest i.e Vargas, Garcia & Thurman types.

    Hooker will see a lot of action at that weight and make some money, because the big dogs at 147 will chew him up. Be good TV fights

    Hooker would abuse Mikey Garcia. Send that tubby mexican back down to 135lbs. That boy laid a turd in the ring against Spence. Hurd wrecks him

    "Mikey see's something.."

    The question is, who's he going to get now that he's signed with DAZN?? Unless DAZN signed him to farm out to ESPN and PBC ? Doubt it.

    Maurice can make noise at 147lbs if he can get the meaningful fights.

    Yes, the champs are Crawford, Spence and Pacquiao. Do you think Garcia, Thurman and Vargas are in the same tier?

    Holding a **** belt doesn't mean yer actually any good. The only welter who is proven the real deal is Thurman. The other two posers keep talking at each other and doing jack.

    Garcia has held a belt same as Thurman, both belt holders and neither would take a W against any of Crawford, Pacquiao or Spence. Hence, they come under "the rest" type fighters.

    I don't understand your angle? Are you a Thurman fan and took my "the rest" comment to heart?

    Yes Hooker is leaving 140 because he got KO'd, the point still stands that he'd give "the rest" good fights.

    I don't see hooker having much success in a loaded ww division. I think even Khan will beat hook. Or even Josesito.
