Comments Thread For: Horn vs. Crawford Possible if Pacquiao Retires, Says Top Rank VP

[Lomasexual]

Sh^t I called this fight the day after Manny caught the L. They couldn't make Manny vs Crawford so they will do the next best thing & make the guy who beat Manny vs Crawford.

I feel extremely confident this is going to happen. Even if Manny wants to come back they'll f#ck him over & say he's not ready soon enough to fight & make Crawford vs Horn & then by the time Manny wants to comeback Crawford will be strapped up at 147 & Arum will get what he wanted or Manny will legit retire if they don't wanna pay him enough.

Could be, but that is depressing to think like that.

Horn vs Manny had a lot of things in it to recommend a rematch. Action, drama, a close fight. Controversy.

I think a lot of people want to see it happen. That means big $.

Same was said about Pacquiao/Horn. We saw what happened.



Now you're getting it! Find someone he can bully. Except I'm gonna need you to show greater respeck to the #1 Welterweight in the World.



That or just the white version of Darnell Boone. Could you imagine? Beats Pacquiao, decisions Crawford, makes Brook quit, knocks out Broner...

You might be right, but we've yet to see Crawford in a real trench fight against someone durable.


I'm just excited at the prospect because it tests both guys. Crawford's never faced an awkward tank with heart and Horn might very well be on the cusp of something. Crawford should fight Indongo, give Horn a tuneup fight, then I'd be all for seeing it on free TV.

I agree that it will be a rough fight for Crawford. I see it playing out like the John Molina fight but way more difficult as Horn is young and is a tough dude who doesn't stop pressuring while also having good punching power.

I don't understand why Jeff Horn is not looking to fight someone on his level ( a C+ fighter) that can draw enough idiots into a stadium - someone like a Kell Brook ; the bonus is Brook might quit for the third time in a row.

But when I think about it again bullying is what Jeff Horn knows best so picking a fight with a jr. welterweight must sound good to Horny.

Brook dismantles Horn. He should fight Khan since he would be one lucky punch away from actually winning against a known guy

[bronx7]

Horn is not another great white fighter he is mediocre did not beat on manny butted and wrestled him landed record low 15% punches

[bronx7]

Manny slipped so much he still outlanded horn 2-1 nothing great about Horn if black wouldn't be ranked before manny fight stop the nonsense Crawford kills him

[North Star]

Easy work for Crawford!

It does sound like this may the eventuality. Top Rank laying the groundwork for this match up should Manny just hang 'em up.

IMO, the only way that happens is in Australia. Same thing when/if the Manny rematch happens. Neutral location for both fights: Horn loses both of em. Just my 37 cents worth.

Horn better get paid well for that fight if it happens. He eclipsed my expectations against Pacquiao and I thought he deserved the win, but Crawford makes mincemeat of him regardless.

[Johnny2x2x]

This would be smart by TR. Pacquaio gets to retire with some dignity still intact. Crawford destroys Horn and you have your new star in Crawford to bleed dry for the next decade.

[bronx7]

No way Arum let's a white drawing card in Australia get destroyed he will match him soft for as long as he can out there make big $ home fan base then when Horn doesn't extend contract or gives any trouble he Crawfords him bye
