Comments Thread For: Arum: Horn Probably Strongest Fighter at 147, Crawford Possible

[Kigali]

Yeah, it's pretty clear that he want to keep things "in house". Same thing with Lomachenko at 130. Will Arum ever let him fight any of the other champs at his weight class? Some good fights to be made if Arum is willing to play ball. My guess he won't.

I agree

We know how arum is with his WBO champions.

One round, old man.

Give Keith one round with your boy, because that's all he needs.

Spence is by far the strongest, but if Horn actually beats Pacquiao this time - then the Crawford fight would be entertaining.

[Gary Coleman]

Pretty much

you're following the wrong sport.

I'm not as easily impressed as most of you.

I'd like to see him in with a RELEVANT live dog.

You're not as easily impressed with anybody because you're all alone on that twig you're sitting on

Will Arum risk 2 of his cash cows because the public wants it? I'd be shocked.

Neither are big draws, outside of Crawford fight in NE. A loss wouldn't hurt Lomachencko at all. A loss would be damaging to Crawford. But it would potentially launch Lomachencko into becoming a bigger draw. I don't see a downside to making the fight. Outside of the fighters not wanting it. Crawford has said Lomachencko is too small, and Loma basically seconded it. Gotta respect that.

Lomachenko wants to go to 135, Roach wants Pacquiao to move down, how about Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko at a catch-weight? I think 138 is fair! Make it happen!

I'd watch lol.

No I'm not that impressed with him myself. His orthodox fighting seems sub par since he switches so much to southpaw. His chin is very questionable. His resume is beyond lacking... he hasn't fought any active A level or above fighters his own size. He gets hit more than he should(this one ****** said he was like Sweet Pea doe .) and imo his defense isn't that great. He's not very fast and I think his power is overrated, which we will see if he ever fights higher caliber opponents his own size. He is your typical HBO hype job until proven otherwise. Postol doe. Inactive, blown up Gamboa doe... the guy has a joke resume for a supposed "P4P" fighter.

He gets hit a lot in the orthodox stance but not a lot at all in the southpaw stance. However, he disrupts his own rhythm and takes time to adjust BECAUSE of the switch hitting. In my opinion he is forcing the issue because I don't think he's a natural switch hitter. If he fought southpaw all the time he would actually be way better.

I didn't think that much of Horn, but I started reading about him in the Australian media and he's actually a beast. He has some tricks up his sleeve no one has even seen yet. I think he could shock more elite fighters.

I think Spences biggest threat is Horn.
