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

[GFunk23]

Horn will “bully” Crawford the same way Margarito bullied Pac

[sammybee]

this is indeed great for boxing at WW division. Sooner or later, we will be seeing Crawford vs Thurman/Spence/Porter/Danny Garcia/Omar Figueroa.

Mikey Garcia will migrate to the super lightweight division to battle for supremacy.

Finally a guaranteed flattening of Horn: THE biggest mouth in all of pro boxing EVER.

And then we can hope for a Crawford/Thurman matchup... which IMO will be an explosive fight as long as it lasts. A true gift from the Gods for true boxing fans.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Keith thurman has seemed very reluctant when asked about facing crawford or errol spence for that matter. Its funny because he was calling out malignaggi and saying dont duck me son not too long ago, now when crawfords name is brought up he acts like crawford hasnt earned the right to fight him yet lol lets see what excuse he has after crawford beats horn.

Also listen to everyone complain that crawford is mandatory you guys sound like little bi*ches. You guys are just upset that crawford will now be the top dog at 147 while pbc fighters are part time fighting Once a year. Crawford earned it by cleaning out 135 and 140 and being undisputed at 140. Mayweather never had to fight any mandatory, he literally got to fight whoever be wanted for every fight and you guys didn't complain, so don't complain now when a true champion who fights the guys nobody else wants to fight gets to have a crack at the title. hes earned it more than anyone else

Exactly!!! As soon as Horn got that BS decision against Pacman, I knew it was a Top Rank move to have Crawford get a title shot without going through a PBC fighter.

Why not Spence Jr., Porter, or Danny Garcia hell Keith Thurman. Guys who are actually active in the division.

How the hell does a guy who has never fought at 147 become the mandatory for a title shot. Boxing is so corrupt its not even funny.

This is not new. Did Badou Jack just not have a WBA Light Heavyweight title fight after giving up the WBC Super Middle?? It seems all organizations install former champs as a No. 1 if they move up, this is not something exclusive to Arum or WBO?

Mikey Garcia will migrate to the super lightweight division to battle for supremacy.

I wouldn't be surprised even though hes said many times hes a small guy and wants to go down to 135 and stay there for awhile. He even said hed fight lomachenko which i know he won't. Hed move up to 140 to duck loma now that crawford is going to 147. Mikey is the biggest fraud in all of boxing. Hes had 40 fights and has called out all the biggest names but the biggest name on his resume is broner who is a certified bum. I don't understand how beating broner gets him on the p4p list. In that case porter and maidana deserved to be on it as well as malignaggi for having such a close fight! Mikey left top rank just to duck gamboa he doesnt have the guts to fight loma or crawford

Crawford would mop the floor with Horn..

[jjsmyth87]

Postol wasn't a bully, he was tentative. Do you not remember that round where he basically stared at Crawford for like 10 seconds when Crawford was asking him to throw?

He said prior to crawford. Do you not remember postol knocking out lucas mathysse when he was very highly rated prior to the crawford fight? Crawford has been knocking everyone out, postol had to be tentative or he would have been knocked out himself. The first half was actually pretty close until crawford almost knocked him out which is when postol knew he needed to keep his distance. Its funny so many on here don't give crawford or loma any credit but will hold guys like mikey garcia and adrien broner in high regard

Postol only pulled that crap against Lucas. That's the point.

Jeff "The Hornet" Horn fears no man after having effectively retired three named fighters. Again, Crawford should make easy work of him, but then again, so should also Manny have made easy work of him and failed.

About time. Dude comes in the ring for 140 pounds weighing 160 pounds. For comparative purposes that’s 7 pounds smaller than Demetrius Andrade, 3 pound smaller than Victor Ortiz & bigger then Andre Berto.

What a dumb ****en post by this alt, lmao. Clueless about the sport.
