    To be fair, he tried to get the outright British champion the fight but Horn's guys didn't want it, chose the lesser fighter from his stable.

    Source is Frank Warren's latest interview on IFL TV. This is just a case of Horn picking the weaker fighter here.

      So Top Rank didn't want the #3, they went with #10? I thought the ESPN deal would make a difference. Obviously, I was wrong!

        No way Bob who owns the WBO was gonna let him unify or Fight Spence or Thurman!

        So much for that Haymon and Arum pact!
        No Way Horn's team allow him to fight a unification before cashing out Vs Pac again. They're just buying time with this fight.

          Corcoran is not even in the top 10 welterweights in Britain!

          Frank Warren is going to get one of his fighters killed one day!

            Because Skeete is a very good boxer. Tall, rangy and eats u guys with Horn's style. Skeete would beat Horn, Corcoran won't. Pretty simple.

              Pac wants a fight in the Philippines!

              Horn's team don't want to travel it seems and just picked a below top 10 domestic level fighter!

              Spence should make a video and roast this dirty fighting Aussie who's family members have hands in Aussie politics!

              Hopefully Crawford gets his hands on him next year!

                You do realize bob arum is not the main boss of horn, top rank only has minor stake in him and options, same with joe parkee who is promoted by duco. Their lead promoters call the shots.

                  Waiting for Skeete to step up his competition. Haven't seen him fight yet, but I can't have faith in a guy who lost to Frankie Gavin. Matthysse vs. Skeete! Make it happen!
