Somehow I managed to read the title of the thread, thank you.
You responded talking about how top 5ish guys could probably beat him.
Then why aren't they accepting his challenge? Or anyone else?
Yeah, that's the point of this thread...

Hookers coach wants him to fight Pettis. Hooker himself wants to fight Barboza because he'd be the tougher fight.
Hooker has publicly called out both and got crickets in return.

Pettis and Barboza are fairly similar but I agree with Barboza being the harder fight. Slightly better puncher and a bit quicker, Pettis is probably a bit trickier though.

Tony's notoriously difficult to put away though, his chin is solid and his recovery is top notch too. I would favor Tony at this point in their careers but I think Dan would take him in 18 months to 2 years time.

Even if he isn’t he should get the chance to fight a big name opponent

Taisumov is the real grim reaper of the LW division. He would KTFO Hooker and more guys in the top 10 yet he's unranked.

Basically beating up two senior citizens. Volkan will stiff him and make it look easy. He's going to fucking dust this Smith guy. lol at people who think he's actually beaten anyone relevant. dont know which win means less ... Hector, Rashad or Shogun. I look forward to making a small fortune off his next fight when he fights someone under 90 in MMA years. Any real or actual hype going to Smith for those wins is embarrassing.

Gregor is a really good fighter who is also making his way up the ladder. Losing to him isn't a bad thing imo.
Still, I think Hooker has potential to be very good here at 155 especially if he continues to get better.

Well he talked about alexander hernandez and paul felder, but felder lost, another cool fight could be Pettis, Barboza, or one of the russian Taisumov, Khabilov or Islam.
