    Flanagan went the distance with Prograis, and is hard as nails.

    Indongo folded like a cheap suit after 2 rounds.

    I think it's pretty obvious who the joke is between the two.

    But if you insist.... Terry's wins over Zepeda (controversial), Magdaleno, Petrov, Fana and Ormond are on par easily with ashot Ricky Burns and a shot Troyanovsky, who he laded the definition of a lucky punch on. And damn was he lucky.

    Indongo is the definition of a glass jawed bum. Terry isn't.

    I noticed that you didn't (conveniently_ attack any of the other people I mentioned. Because you'd have no leg to stand on had you.

    lol, yes zepeda and petr petrov. Top notch fighters. ATGs. And I love the zar, I've rooted for him in every fight, but he's what he is, it's not good to lie to anyone let alone to lie to myself.

    Flanagan is a joke., I repeat. Eurobum level. Saying that prograis' best win is flanagan is way worse than saying that it's indongo.

    But hey, no problem.

    Indongo is packing more glass in his mandible section than a Namibian bottle bank

    Checkout how littered his CV is with fighters who can't punch their way through cobwebs that have been spun by geriatric spiders

    His 1st (and 2nd) = 15 fights (1KOs)
    3rd = 7 fights (1KOs)
    4th = 1 fight (0KOs)
    5th (and 8th) = 26 fights (2KOs)
    6th = 8 fights (0KOs)
    8th = 30 fights (3KOs)
    9th = 12 fights (0KOs)
    10th = 38 fights (8KOs)
    11th = 36 fights (19KOs)
    12th = 6 fights (0KOs)
    13th = 10 fights (3KOs)
    14th = 3 fights (0KOs)
    15th = 16 fights (3KOs)
    16th = 44 fights (16KOs)
    17th = 24 fights (9KOs)
    18th = 30 fights (13KOs)
    19th = 42 fights (15KOs)
    20th = 32 fights (15KOs)
    21st = 27 fights (23 KOs) Troyanovsky
    22nd = 52 fights (16KOs) Burns
    24th fight = 7 fights (1 KO)

    Troyanovsky aside, this must be some kind of record for the amount of complete non punchers a world champion has faced. Troyanovsky's a legit banger but he's glass-jawed too and he didn't land a punch on Indongo's glass jaw.

    Indongo has fought four opponents who can crack a bit

    Crawford
    Rougarou
    Troyanovsky
    Yeleussinov


    And he got blasted out early by three of them and the other didn't land a punch

    Crawford KO3
    Rougarou TKO2
    Yeleussinov TKO2

    Granted he was like 37 against Yeleussinov but it's clear he's packing glass. Prograis dropped him with a jab

    Ah yes, Troyanovsky and Burns, Top notch fighters. ATG fighters. Two can play that game.... now...

    HOW IS INDONGO BETTER THAN FLANAGAN?

    And why aren't you arguing about Relikh and Ramos?

    oh, indongo is noone? well, we agree, man. At last!!!

    then, if flanagan and indongo are eurotrash and mr. glassjaw. Who's prograis?

    And if prograis has beaten noone, then he's overrated as F. Then... taylor?

    Ooops.....

    At last we agree, dude. It was hard, but we finally got it.

    What I mean is that taylor unifying the weight is cool, awesome. Contratulations mr taylor!! well deserved, I wish you nothing but the best!!!

    But he has done it in a weight class weak as ****.... incredibly weak today, with paper champions that are worth very little. That's the only thing I'm saying. And that the hype in this forum is being too much imho.

    I dont think I'm crazy, tbh.

    Who is Prograis? He's the only man to stop Ramos, who'd drawn with Hooker, who then went on went the distance with Baranchyk (dropped him), push Jamal James to the limit, KO Perrella (who just got robbed against Harrison with a draw), beat Santana who was coming off of a win over Felix Diaz, and recently almost draw with Ugas and then KO'd Omar Figueroa.

    Relikh was coming off of a robbery loss to Burns and Barthelemy. He then went on to beat Barthelemy, and Troyanovsky. Prograis stopped him easily.

    Behind Taylor, Prograis has the second best resume at 140. The division is stacked, everyone agrees the division is stacked. Except you. Because you're a bitter hater with no leg to stand on.

    I mean, aside from Donaire, who exactly worth a damn had Rig beaten? Yet that didn't keep you from fanboying over him so much, you chose him as your user name.

    No, you're just proving what a casual know nothing you really are. The moment you open your mouth about anything that's outside your snug little comfort zone, you put your foot in your mouth, and show what an ass you are. Hopefully you have nightmares of the Rougarou battering you senseless all night.

    I wonder what are you proving when you say that flanagan is a top fighter. Or that petrov or zepeda are too. Laughable. I've not even read the list of names you wrote. Easy as that. Didnt care after what you said.

    Let it go. Tomorrow will be another day.

    I'm trying to prove that Indongo, who by proxy, you're trying to hype, because he's a Bud opponent, was a level below Terry Flanagan. And of course you didn't read, because you're a casual, who probably has no idea who Ramos and Relikh even are. You do know that fighters can beat a long list of fighters who to the general public, are relatively unknown who still happen to be top notch right? Popularity doesn't equal talent, quality and skill. That's pretty obvious. How many people on Mayweather's resume early on were top notch but not households names, how about Pacquiao? What are attempting to do here, prove what a casual know nothing you really are? I thought we were supposed to be knowledgeable fanboys on this site? Yet here you are ging out of your way to prove YDKSAB. little helpful advice dimwit.... stop self owning.;)

    And in a parallel universe after Ramirez took care of Taylor, dropping him twice... 'he's gotta be in the P4P conversation: beat Taylor, who beat Prograis, unified the division....'

    Calzaghe was fan friendly because of his high workrate and fast combo`s.

    there is not one A level fighter actively campaigning at 140 right now. in less than 2 years, the kids at 135 will move up and dispatch the lot of them as they grow into their natural weight. thats why fights are so close, because they are all pretty average, for what an average world level fighters is. or what, you think its competitive cause its got 3 A level fighters?:lol:

    Is A level some arbitrary level that you've made up? How does one judge when a fighter is at this "A Level" and when one is the other side of it, which I assume you call "B Level". Is "A level" the same as P4P? Difficult for me to judge whether Prograis and Taylor belong in your "A level" bucket when you haven't defined what that means.
