Problems for Bob and TR

[soul_survivor]

147 is always a pretty f#cking good division. Its one of the divisions with the most people in it for one thing which is part of it. Gotta go through a lot of mfers to be in the top 50 at 147 let alone the top 10, a title holder or the #1 guy.

But sh^t man it sounds like Bud is at 147 now, but he won't really be arriving til he fights for a title & it sounds like Arum is in no hurry to get Crawford he's 3rd weight division title which makes no damn sense to me even if Horn can sell some tickets in his country. I just send Crawford to Australia & sell out 50k+ tickets again, then setup Horn vs Manny II in Australia when Manny's ready for a fight between ex-champs. Selling a lot of tickets for that & maybe can even turn Crawford into a more popular guy by having him school Horn on Horn's turf + might be able to setup a late career trilogy for Manny if Manny would rather avoid Bud.

Idk, but the way this seems like its being steered is just in the wrong direction.

Arum has done a great job with turning TC into one of the very best and most popular fighters in the sport today, I'm sure he knows what he needs to do with him at 147.

Theb iggest issue is Thurman and Spence are both on the PBC bracket and those guys can barely fight among themselves let alone across promotional brackets. TC v Horn would be the obvious choice and i'm sure thats the direction they are going...or whoever will be WBO champ come 2018.

Horn is a ****ing bum....you're only hyping him cause manny lost to him.

I'm not hyping him. I stated after the fight that he fought a lot better than I had ever seen in his highlight packages. His work rate and size/strength will make him very competitive in a division where there are no stand outs.

Maybe Spence is the future guy, maybe its TC when he moves up but for now Thurman is top dog but he is hardly a great fighter. His skill set, his physical gifts and his ring intelligent are merely good.

In fact, the divisions been that way since Pac got old, Bradley moved on and May stopped taking the sport seriously.

So its not a hype when someone like HOrn could be competitve with some of the newer guys.
