    Are they completely deluded and think Ritson has a chance or are they just happy for him to lose?

    Prograis is on a different level.

    He will take heavy punishment. That's the sort of fight where you and up punch drunk.

    If Hearn is looking to get one of his fighters hurt, this is the way to do it.

    They spoke about it a while back. Prograis has since gone fight by fight with pbc

    I hope not!

    Ritson needs to get past the likes of Ohara and cattarall with ease before even thinking about a fight with prograis

    Ritson would need a big win first before a prograis fight is even conceivable imo.they will be sitting tight until all the belts go up in the air probably.

    Would be a horrible beating before a bad ko

    levels. Ritson is a good domestic possible euro level fighter. Prograis is world level and dangerous at world level.

    There was me thinking a potential talked about Benn v Kelly would be a total joke of a mismatch but this ****. Surley this can't serious?

    Hearn will get Ritson a PPV payday and a savage beating so long as he fills a PPV date.

    Hearn won't give a toss, this man shoved a Welterweight in with Golovkin, the Welterweight nearly lost his eyesight in one eye.. he has no worries about sticking Ritson in with anybody so long as he could stick on a bang average undercard and charge everybody £20 to watch it.

    Agree. Let Ritson get his current opponent out of the way who won against O'Hara and then let them fight each other. That would be garner good interest in the UK and would be a bit of a grudge match.

    Ritson needs to fight someone who is ranked 10-15 at 140. He should forget about Prograis for another year.

    I will say though that people are always on fighters about not upping their level of competition but seemingly are outraged when the say they do want to do so.

    In my mind, Ritson is a British/European level fighter but if he wants to test himself at a higher level, why not.

    Nobody is outraged
    More so stating its a rather obvious mismatch and one that could hamper Ritsons progression

    Ritsons tried stepping up and failed
    Plenty of work to be done before he should even consider World level
