Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Announced as Jeff Horn's Mandatory By WBO

It would be crazy from a boxing nerd perspective if Thurman/Spence unify the WBA, WBC, and IBF and then face Crawford for the undisputed and lineal WW title.

Crawford would have a chance to win a lineal title in a 3rd weight class and an undisputed title in a 2nd weight class.

That alone would put him in the top 50 of all time IMO.

Man...imagine if Jeff Horn defeats Crawford,Spence, and Thurman all in a row..i'ma die laughing.

Only Walt Disney or George Lucas could have a great imagination like that!

Tonight Jeff Horn is ****ting bricks!

But I'm not hating this is good for boxing!

With Floyd Jr and Ward retired and the chocolate boy down in the dumps, now we will have a true Pound for pound king!

[Bronx2245]

OK! Who didn't see this coming?

[bluemax]

Decent Fight

This should be an interesting fight. We'll find out pretty quickly whether Horn's win over the Pacman was a fluke or not. I absolutely favor Crawford in this one

I'd like to think Spence/Thurman vs Crawford is doable next year if Crawford wins Horn's belt.

Idk about top 50 all time if Crawford wins. That all time bs is sci fi fantasy bs to me doe, but Crawford definitely becomes among the top guys of this next era post-Floyd & Manny.

And if Crawford is really lucky he'll get to fight Manny cuz that name on his resume only helps him regardless of how competitive that fight ends up being or not.

I don't think Horny wants a fight like this when he can get paid re-matching Pac.

Easy work for Crawford to win a strap at 147 though, maybe Uncle Bob will throw horny a big bag of shekels.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Crawford will be nice strap for Thurman/Spence winner. Because I think this dude is overrated.

It won't matter. People will say it was corrupt judges for every win.

Reverse racism at its finest.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

Crawford wins this fight hands down, maybe within 6rds. Horn is still totally unknown in the sport of boxing but the judges in pac fight made him looked like he's a champion.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Yes but was he a ring bully prior to fighting Crawford? is what I'm asking.

No he was not. Postol always has been a boxer puncher that happens to have good snap and decent skills at range. He sucks on the inside. That's my point.

Whereas Jeff "The Hornet" Horn was able to work trench AND distance against a knockout specialist and still go on to win the fight. Guy has a chin of granite and heart to boot and keeps coming after you. Crawford has NEVER faced a guy with a granite chin, no fear AND skill in the pocket. Never.

Thus why I look forward to the fight even if Jeff "The Hornet" Horn gets stopped in 9 rounds. IT's a good test for Crawford stylistically.
