Comments Thread For: Jeff Horn Smiles: No One is Worried About Keith Thurman Now!

[MulaKO]

Might be true but the BIG difference is at least he's calling out anyone of the big names to get in the ring.
So who's gonna man up and get it on with Horn if he's such a walk over?
I don't see many guys replying to his taunts as yet.

That’s because he brings fugh all to the table
Doesn’t have a title , his resume is really non existent , and no fans
Everyone knows he was gifted vs Pac so what the fugh
Why would anybody want this chit , plus to make a little money gonna need to go fight him down under and probably get the same treatment as Pac

The risk is surely not worth the reward to fight this fughin clown

listen, I'm not a Thurman fan, I don't think he's the best welterweight, I don't think he's eager to take on the best anymore, and think he'd get washed by top welterweights. I just don't think horn is a guy that he's ducking. He's an afterthought and doesn't deserve to be mentioned along the likes of a Spence, Crawford, porter or even a Danny Garcia. He's a lower level welterweight with a gift win over an old pac.

I can't argue a single point in your post...It's all true.

What are these facts you keep babbling about?

You Pac fans are not interested in the facts that don't suit you, the first one is failing to accept the official fact that Horn beat Packy. Your opinion is not a fact, that's a good starting point for you.

first, I'm not a pac fan. Can't stand the guy, I root for him to lose almost every fight, and his delusional fan base is the worst in boxing. But I have to call it like I see it, he deserved to beat horn. And newsflash, bad decisions happen in boxing. Judges get it wrong plenty of times. There were judges who gave Chavez a draw vs Whitaker. There were judges who gave holyfield a draw vs Lewis. Horn getting that win is along those same lines. It's a joke and doesn't enhance the reality that he's a limyed fighter. So the fact is, you can talk horn up all you want, but he's a lower tier welter weight and the second he faced a top welterweight in their prime, he was made to look like an amateur who had no business being in the same ring with him. And that sir is a fact.

It's not about winning rounds, Khan wins rounds.

But if you must...it was the round that everyone is calling the "Wilder Round" the one were Lopez nearly knocked Keith out with a slow motion telegraphed shot.

Considering that Lopez is not known for his skill, speed or power but for showing up to take a guaranteed beating...that was pretty bad.

Lopez is Carlos Baldomir without the chin, keith is Zab Juda without the balls.

A case of overacting. Thanks

1x did ok after almost 2 yrs gone.

He did stick and move and his stamina and timing were there. Honestly, I would rather see him retire than get buzzed by a scrub like Lopez. And for the record...if Keith ever fought Horn (and he was up for it) he'll knock Horn out cold.

That said, I don't like the way he downplays Crawford it's blatantly dishonest. Keith knows what he's doing and he knows it's dishonest. It comes across weak and petty, the opposite of the smart truth talker he once was. That's my problem with Keith in a nutshell. I've watched and respected Keith way before he was a name but I don't know who he is anymore. The Keith I knew is gone.

Imho, had 1x fought Lopez while being active, he would have 1x'd him. As a fan of boxing, I don't get caught up in what they say. If they lie or embellish, it's part of the game. Eventually, a guy will have to put up or get out. I'm betting on him putting up.

That last sentence is an opinion not a fact. Of course there are disputed decisions but a decision is a fact and no amount of disagreement will change that. You seem reasonably intelligent but you can't tell the difference.

If Thurman ducks Horn he will be a laughing stock. Everybody is saying how 'irrlevent' Horn is, but he is chasing a rematch with Manny and now a fight with Thurman while all the other welterweights are fighting cans or people smaller than them. Someone want to prove me wrong?

Thurman will suck horn. Make no mistake about that!

did horn do anything vs Crawford that would make anyone think that they're anywhere near the same class? It's a fact that Crawford outclassed him. Now people may be in denial about it, sort of like flat earthers, but the proof is there for one to see. Yes, the result of a decision is a fact, but the reality of what took place in the fight greatly questions the validity of the decision. Therefore, horn getting what most saw as a gift decision does not place him among the elite no matter how much anyone may want to debate that.
