Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Failure to Make Taylor-Serrano Rematch

[Combat Talk Radio]

No, defo not saying that, Crawford would have beat Horn anywhere, but for this one, and any other, if you really want to have the Gold, you should travel. Like Bradley vs Witter. Unlike Crawford v Horn, Katie already beat Serrano, so, she's the shot caller.

But wait a minute.

You both made definitive statements. Now you're excluding only Crawford because of your theory he would have beaten Horn in AUS (he wouldn't have)?

Remember...Ricky Burns gave Crawford all he could handle overseas because that ref wouldn't let Crawford get dirty, so Crawford had to show brilliance but ultimately was forced to go the distance.

Bivol had to basically go balls to the wall in Round 12 to eek out a close UD against Canelo after a boxing clinic.

Haney damn near pitched a shutout on Kambosos yet somehow dropped 4 rounds in that same AUS.

Come on man.

Gotcha, but now you're talking about levels, not locations. Haney is the truth, signed up to all the balls contract, but knew........

Point is you had it right before you backtracked.

ANY fighter should gladly fight the champion on THEIR turf to become the champ. Prove that you can overcome odds. That includes Crawford - who didn't do that for Horn when he should have. Especially fresh off Horn beating Manny. Crawford's profile would have skyrocketed off such a win and guaranteed he'd have been lined up to fight Manny shortly after.

Where the money is at, and where the champ is at, you're stating I've backtracked , but in the the same vain supporting me.......

Do you read what you type?


YOU SAID:

challengers should travel, like the road warrior.

Crawford was the challenger for Horn's title. SO, that means by YOUR words, Crawford should have traveled.

Yet, you then say

No, defo not saying that,

When we asked you if that should apply to Crawford (challenger should fight the champ on their home turf overseas).

You backtracked, brother.
