Comments Thread For: Skeete: Jeff Horn Got Cold Feet, Taking Easier Option in Corcoran

[angkag]

Sounds more like He's going to wait on pac, which brings by far the biggest payday, and not risk losing the title Vs a live opponent.

Wonder why Saunders and Khan spring to mind......

So Horn is "ducking" a guy ranked 20th by boxrec at welterweight to defend his paper belt against a feather-fisted guy ranked 78th at welterweight, and then will fight Manny Pac after he's turned 39. Sounds like somebody is going to milk this belt for all it's worth.

Let's call a spade a spade here he's ducking skeete. If he agreed to all the terms and he's taking what is an easier fight what else do you call it?

Dude the bloke just fought Manny and you're accusing him of ducking some bum from England? C'mon dude.

Where are you getting your rankings, he is fighting a guy that's rated No.11 by the WBO at 147, what 'boxrec' says means jack s***. It's an optional defence and he can fight anyone in the top 15.

God some of you poindexters need to understand how things work, Gary Corcoran is rated No.11 by the WBO so Horn is making an optional defence, while waiting for Manny to be ready for the rematch. F*** this forum pi**es me off sometimes.

It makes business sense to not risk the pacquiao rematch and fight a lower level opponent,
but Corcoran is really too low.
Ive seen the fight against Liam Williams and he was at no time competitive with him. And no disrespect to Williams, he has decent skills, but he is still a domestic level fighter.

Bob out here promoting a fight like horny vs skeet would be comedy

[Corelone]

They're not doing Horn any favors. They're just fattening him up for a payday. What happens if Pac retires? A bunch of home town defenses vs nobody for deminishing returns? Nothing says no confidence like no risk.

Who wants to fight Horn with his hybrid WWE/boxing hybrid style? Nobody. No upside,...Especially in Australia

Boxrec is waaaaaaayyyy more legit than WeBoughtOrganization. Horn's latest is barely above amateur and has fought nobody other than bums and novice. A clown ranking isn't legit just because it's from one of the alphabet groups
