Horn is not getting KTFO like some people pretend. He's too big, rugged, determined, and his heart is crazy big. He'll take a beating and need his corner to stop it.
Crawford is gonna get roughed up though. Horn dives in head first, wrestles, elbows, punches, you name it. Even for a guy of Crawford's ability...he's going to get touched
Lol. Horn ain't got a chance and his corner will end up stopping the fight in the 9th at the latest.
did the word "philosophy" hurt you ????
No worries dude. I'm guessing though that English isn't your first language. If it is though...maybe you should go back to school.
I was wondering about that too....I bought the fight and had a party at my house....my guests were not impressed....when Crawford was doing his running Postol should have just stood in the middle of the ring and should have stopped chasing Crawford....I suspect Kovalev and Ward will be the same....I will be careful next time...I want to be entertained.....the 12th round was great and my guests and I had that round as the most entertaining....the house went quiet for that round.
Another casual fan boy that doesn't understand strategy. First time Crawford ever fought that way. It was very smart.
Crawford is runnin scared from spence just like manny and danny and porter.... He will never fight spence... Bud knows he will get dropped and stopped.... Crawford went to england and beat ricky burns... Spence went to england and stopped kell brook infront of 30k... #Levels
You hope Crawford is running. I don't care about Spence's power, Crawford's skill level is on another level. A level that prevents the natural middle weight (Spence) from getting the better of Crawford. But sadly you will find...that Crawford isn't runnin' no where.
Seems Vargas and Thurman are the only ones willing to fight Pacquiao.
And didn't Pacquiao already say yes to the Crawford fight when Arum asked Pac after the Postol fight? Why is Arum now adding Vargas to the mix all of a sudden? Why is Arum so protective of Crawford?

Are you even paying attention? Arum wants Crawford to fight Pacquiao. It's Freddie Roach that doesn't want the Crawford fight.
Sadly...there is not enough money in it for Arum. TC needs to fight a PPV draw before lazy casuals in America will pay attention. We want to be entertained with a "known" quantity...otherwise we will just continue watching street fighters on UFC productions. More blood. In the voice of Maximus Derridius (Gladiator) "Are you not entertained, America?" Let them eat cake.
When did Arum give a f#ck about what Roach says? Roach was against the Bradley 3, did Arum listen? No. Again why is Arum so protective of Crawford like he's his own son?
Give me an example of how he is being protective if you can. Facts...not conjecture.
i think this will be the first payperview i have will not buy in over 15 years.
Bad boxers lead with their chin. Ignorant fans lead with their stupidity, and would cut off their noses to spite their face. Crawford is going to crash down on Postol, and I'm guessing...you will buy his next PPV. Consider that...a challenge thrown to the hard headed. lol.
Here comes full retard mode. Where do I call Postol elite. I said "Postol is a start". I love how imbeciles on this website love to change what you actually say to suit their purposes like 8 posts later. Have I bashed Crawford? Again. No you moron, I have stated over and over again that calling Crawford p4p, elite, A Class, or mentioning him in the leagues of secured hall of fame boxers has zero merit because he's done absolutely nothing to merit that. Am I wrong? How is that bashing? Only a stupid idiot would sit up here calling crawford elite or hold him anywhere near the level of Mayweather or Pacquaio, hell there are lesser fighters still active than those two guys who Crawford does not belong in a conversation with either. Predictions are for people new to the sport or gambler, i'm not new to this nor am I wagering on this fight so may the best man win. I have bet on here and that is the only time I make a prediction or if the opponent is completely outclassed before the fight happens..which means I won't even bother watching the fight itself. I've watched and supported this sport for 31 years now and frankly have seen enough fights go totally left with one punch to sit up here trying to be debating who will win most fights. Now I know people around here watched Floyd, much like basketball fans watched Jordan in the 80's and 90's and think they actually somehow became superior fans or experts at the sport. You are that exact same type of fan, so either shut the fk up and enjoy the sport or keep proving yourself to be pretty f'ing stupid. Your choice.
Whoa. Full retard mode? lol. You seem a little defensive. And what are you doing on a site full of retards? You should go easy on yourself...you are not the brightest bulb in the box but certainly not retarded...I mean...look at all the posts you've made.
Anyway; "Predictions are for people new to the sport or gambler, i'm not new to this nor am I wagering on this fight so may the best man win."?
That statement is so wrong it is not worth mentioning. It may be true for you (I doubt it) but many that have been following boxing for longer then my 45 years following it, make predictions all the time...even boxers themselves. A little hint for you...your time following boxing means little to nothing, and does nothing but make you look insecure in your arguments. It's very weak. You're better then that. But if we're measuring gambling dix...I've bet on 2 fights in my entire 57 years of life. You've probably got me beat there.
And finally...you seem to insist that I am calling Crawford the greatest thing since human violence. You are trying to make your case on things I've never said, such as; "Only a stupid idiot would sit up here calling crawford elite or hold him anywhere near the level of Mayweather or Pacquaio, hell there are lesser fighters still active than those two guys who Crawford does not belong in a conversation with either." Let me tell you something Opie...I agree with you to a certain extent but someone with 31 years of experience should have the tools to see that Crawford has the tools to get mentioned in future conversations if he keeps on winning. That is obvious. So...if he keeps on winning, are you prepared to say you were wrong? Or are you going to be like the Mayweather haters that insist Floyd built a career on ducking people? Because the more I read of you, the more it becomes a possibility that YOU are exactly like those inexperienced, knee jerk reacting boxing tools that think they know everything but nothing. (a little play on words. you're not a retard so you should be able to figure it out). Do you know everything but nothing?
As you mature, you will eventually realize that...the more you know, the less you know.
Crawford making demands like he A-side. Demanding Manny to come down to 140 shelved the fight. Gave them a built-in excuse not to fight him. Should have said "I'll fight him at any weight, if he wants it at 147 we can go there, if he wants it at 140 and he can get it there too"
The Crawford camp demanded that because they were butthurt over Koncz's comments that Crawford was never a consideration (or even an after thought at the time they selected Bradley to fight him again) Boxing ego's are big and easily frayed. But it definitely was the Pacquiao camp that set the Crawford camps attitude in motion. They are now going out of their way to show people that they will no longer chase Pacquiao, and that he is an old, has been...afterthought. In other words...they are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Seems like Arum wants pacman to fight crawford still, vargas would be a more fan friendly fight. Vargas also has more personality than crawford, so i would think if vargas won in an exciting fight he would be a much bigger draw than crawford, plus vargas will have that mexican fanbase.
I don't know about fan friendly, but definitely...Mexican friendly. And Arum knows it. It will be Vargas for that very reason. And once he's milked all the Mexican money, Manny will be about 70, with rumors of his retirement.
Are you kidding? When Pacquiao was knocking everyone out and rearranging faces, Floyd wanted no part of Pacquiao. When he FINALLY decided to fight, Pacquiao had clearly lost a step.
Not true. It was Arum that held up that fight. Besides; Floyd is older than Pac...so in your opinion then...Floyd was at a bigger disadvantage than Manny. Manny got beat by a guy that was older than him.
Or Crawford can fight them both back to back. I would love to see Crawford kick Kell Brooks ass.
The ONLY reason either of these fights are being considered by Crawford is because of Al Haymon and the PBC wanting to freeze out Bob Arum. But all these black fight fans are on board with it so nothing will change. Haymon knows that black America will give him a pass, albeit begrudgingly. As though blacks think that this is somehow sticking it to their oppressors. No. Just sticking it to Arum, Crawford, and the actual sport of boxing in general. Way to go black America. Way to go. You've officially lost your right to complain about the decrepit state of boxing in your country.
I was at the crawford postol fight, as well as the Third Manny vs Bradley fight. I personally feel that Crawford would lose to manny. He would get knocked down in my opinion. Mannys footwork even diminished is superior to MOST in the game.Crawford is able to be hit and hes still a poor mans version of floyd(NO ONE IS LIKE FLOYD) Postol was SLOW, like wow slow. I didnt know how slow he was. I sit damn near ringside, so im not blind. But TBUD is NOT that bad of a style for manny at all, but at THIS MOMENT. I agree, it was smart to go this route. As NO boxer EVER is where manny is today, a politician. If it were that easy, Boxers of the passed such as Ray Leonard who speaks very well in public, would run for it. But thats not the case, I get it. They want to keep manny happy. But by taking this fight, they are sticking their big toe into the life of being a part time boxer and part time SENATOR. The homie just had a meeting with his president of his country. I don't see Floyd chillin with Barry lol. I dont like the fight as a paying customer, (ill be staying home this november) but smart move old warrior. I think manny pacquiao has earned the right to cherry pick a little, he still has the best resume in boxing today.
Manny apologist...and a stupid casual to boot.
The Indongo fight was a decent scrap on paper, but it's time for Bud to step up and dare to be great by facing The Truth not padding his resume with an almost retired Manny.
Spence is a good fighter but I don't think that he is the top of the WW division. He has a lot to clean up in his technical game. He is relatively young & inexperienced so it would behoove him to put a little time between now and facing Crawford. People are too enamored with Spence because of his strength, when in reality; his unrefined skill set could be his down fall. Crawford's toughest test at 147 in my opinion would be a style like Shawn Porter. Styles make fights, and even though Porter has a loss...his style (if any) is the style that could give Crawford fits. Being a natural middle weight though, I don't know how much longer Spence will be able to stay at 147
Errol Spence Jr. will crush Terence Crawford. There's no need for Crawford to talk himself into an ass whooping...
Lol. Another fat American obsessed with size. Aw shucks...maybe you're right...they shouldn't even fight...
I've seen your kind before. If Pac picks Crawford you'll say he cherrypicking green guy doe.
Give me a straight answer. Do you think Pac is afraid of Crawford? Tell me why he should be afraid.
You should have all your facts...before you put your foot in your mouth like that. I live just a couple miles from Crawford, I've watched him for a long time, I'm a fan of his so I would never say pac is cherrypicking a green guy. I know both fighters skill sets. I know it would be a great fight that Crawford probably wins.
Straight answer: Of course I don't think Pac is afraid of Crawford. He's a fighter and a legend. I'm not one to attack ANY fighters character unless his side job is that of criminal. These fighters live on an island with sharks (promoters) swimming around them. I'm always on the side of any fighter. So...do you now think you know me well enough to tell me you know my type? Whatz yer deal dude?
Please tell us why you think that. Or...do you just have some personal bias towards either or both of these fighters? Or...are you just looking for attention?
