    He made 140 for the Mikey fight last year

    Hes not a 147 & frankly overrated

    140 is his best bet as he has good power & wouldnt be at a size disadvantage (Although hes actually bigger then Mikey & Pac)

    How would fights go against...

    Josh Taylor
    Prograis
    Hooker
    Jose Ramirez

    I would make Ramirez/Taylor/Prograis solid favorites over him

    AB vs Hooker 50/50.fight

    If he wants to.continue his career 140.is his best bet

    Its his best bet.if he wants to have success

    Maybe he wouldnt be so timid of getting KOd like he is at 147

    He could probably.hang with all those.guys just not sure he would win

    Jose Ramirez is a night mare style match up tho

    Agree, although I do think he'd get handled by Taylor, Prograis and like you said Ramirez, but he should be able to beat the rest. That being said, I doubt he can make 140.

    He's probably top 3 JWW, top 10 WW.

    Losing to elites doesn't mean you're garbage, it means you're below them. So he's below Garcia, Porter, Pac - ok? Expected. But all those guys are in the top 6-7 at WW.

    Hes below the champs for now

    I'd make him fave against Hooker but he'd loose to the other three.

    He has never beaten one top 5 140 fighter so I doubt it, however there isn’t really a standout fighter at 140 so I would favour Taylor, Prograis and maybe Relikh and Ramirez over him. However Hooker vs Broner is a fight he should be able to win.

    If he can make 140 at least twice in a row like back in '14, without killing himself in the process, he might win another belt there. But I doubt he'd be a force at the weight because of lack of dicipline.

    I don't care about Broner at all. Even if he could beat everyone there, he is just not interesting and rather boring a person. Good for him for winning 4 titles against weak guys and saying he did that and winning millions in earnings. Good for him, but to me I don't want to see him fight again,,and I wouldn't mind seeing most people fight again.
