Comments Thread For: Trainer Pleads With Horn To Forget Crawford, Fight Mundine

**** it, if he’s struggling that much, move up. But don’t hold the belt hostage.

Seriously you get offered $2 million to take on a shot fighter at a weight class you find easier to make or you can go to the US and get whipped by one of the best P4P for hmm $500k? Um let me think about that one..

He defended it a week ago!

Wow.

These Australians are cowardly, they have no sense of honor or what it means to be a true champion. Always looking for the easy way out.

There's some ****** comments, not like the brave tough American's eh?! The bloke just beat Manny 6 months ago and he's a coward, smh.

i wouldnt be surprised if he moved up. funny i was just sayin that a while back. then i saw how huge corcoran was and thought how the hell he make 147.

btw horn-ali rite?

porter - horn how bout that?

id still like to see crawford take him apart. thats a ko, sure thing.

Horn doesn't have to defend his WBO welterweight title against Crawford until July. That's when the mandatory is due. There is no reason why he can't have a non-title fight against Mundine at 154 in April and return to welterweight to take on challenger Crawford in June/July.

If he opts to stay at 154, he might need to find another route to a world title rather than the WBO. His gym mate Dennis Hogan, who is also trained by Glenn Rushton, is on the verge of getting his shot at the title currently in the hands of Sadam Ali.

Very good trainer who cares about his fighter, giving him sound advice. I kind of doubt he could stand with Crawford without the weight issue.
