Comments Thread For: Horn Expects To Fight in April, Won't Confirm Crawford as Foe

[Jewish-Reptile]

As someone mentioned earlier the Mundine fight will always be there. Crawford is widely considered p4p #1 so a loss against him wouldnt ruin the Mundine fight. However if they fight Mundine first after Top rank and Espn gave him a Pacquiao fight and let him fight Corcoran on Espn, he might get stripped of his title and then Espn wouldnt show his fights anymore. And what if he somehow loses to Mundine? That would certainly ruin his chances at a Crawford fight or a Pacquiao rematch

Mundine is years beyond his best, potentially 6-7 at least. Horn may even stop him especially if it is not a catch weight.

Horn won't fight Crawford unless TheBobFather makes it worth it for The MMA From Down Under!

I would love for Bud to kick his @ss in Australia which would boost his international profile and him being a legit welterweight champion!

Hope Bob pays up and have it at Aussie!

He'll get Crawford into Australia, come in 10 pounds over. Lose his title, survive 12 rounds, get another unanimous decision, and remain undefeated.

Fixed.

I get where you're coming from, but this is extremely unlikely, as Crawford won't leave it to the judges.

HOWEVER...if by the fight's end I see Jeff "The Hornet" Horn's hand raised as the man who took Crawford's "0", it will be an absolutely hysterical few months of ranting here on NSB - and I will be front center to watch it all go down.

This board is straight comedy.

Horn fights Mundine: "he ducking Crawford"

BUT

Horn fights Crawford in Australia: "he's gonna rob Crawford"

But it sounds like it might be a done deal: http://metro.co.uk/2017/12/23/jeff-h...moter-7181792/


The man can't win for nothing though. Whatever happened to the good old days of, the A-Side chooses the venue, the B-Side needs to do what Spence and Floyd once did, show up and take care of business? Why does Crawford need an advantage? If he's as good as many of us think he is, it shouldn't matter where or when Horn fights him. Crawford's switching between orthodox and southpaw creates problems for Horn, guaranteed. Let's just have it in Brisbane again so the money's there. Horn alone wants $5 million, there's no way they're getting that AND Crawford's payday fighting in the US. It's too soon to try to get Horn over with Americans. Let him beat Crawford, THEN take a soft touch in the US.

Plus it will set to rest the question of whether Manny was just washed up, or if he just met his match. Because even in loss, if Jeff "The Hornet" Horn takes Terrence Crawford the distance and wins more than 4 rounds, it debunks that theory - and Horn is just better than people thought he was.

Stop making sense!!

I personally hope he makes that Mundine money and then go for Crawford.

Not saying he will win but i believe he will surprise a lot of people.
