    Respect: a properly trained Jeff Horn does what Manny didn't: avenge a dominant loss.

    No, he doesn't belong at 160. But he deserves respect for beating a 160 pound threat with absolutely no asterisk. We know he's just a huge welterweight; that's why this upset rematch outcome is pretty shocking.

    Why can't Crawford do this? Carnelo did it and now Horn both stepped up two weight classes. Jeff Horn now has TWO signature wins, both of which are far higher quality than any on Terence's resume. It just...its frustrating that he won't challenge himself like everyone else is doing.

    Footage of this comeback, shades of Rocky II minus the knockout:

    Horn is going back permanently to light middle though but isn't Crawford saying that he's going to fight at 160? And he's already moved up to get to welter. At the higher skill levels those few pounds can make a big difference, I think that he's frustrated with the lack of quality opposition hence the 160 talk. It's understandable that Crawford may be questioned about his lack of quality opposition but it does take two to do a ring dance.

      Crawford just talking nonsense, he gets beat bad above 147.

      Porter, Spence, and Thurman can all beat him. Maybe even Danny Garcia.

            Anyone that doesn't respect Horn for coming back after that level of beating is not a real fan of the sport.

            The dude is fearless and has zero issues going to war when he's properly trained, properly prepared and his opponent doesn't delay the fight and mess up camp over a phony hand injury.

            Never mind the fact that he just beat a full fledged middleweight, something very few welterweights have done.

              Difference is Manny Won the fight with Horne. Horne lost his fight and rematches. YAY. Two average fighters fighting. Good for him.

              So why would Manny fight a guy in same country he got robbed in and when the entire world and boxing experts seen that you already won the fight and got robbed.

                Saying that Horn won this fight without an asterisk is hypocritical.
                You say Bud has an asterisk because he got hit with a straight right but there on after he dominated.
                Horn gets lit up in the 9th it gets stopped by the ref for a questionable time out then produces the hail Mary yet Horn without doubt has no asterisk.

                Can you see what I mean by you always picking negatives out of Buds fights but with a fighter you like even though he was close to being stopped you say its without any contraversies.
                I like Jeff but just calling the kettle black my friend.

                  Not according to Crawford he didn't. According to Crawford, Jeff Horn beat Manny. He "beat the man that beat the man".

                    Uh, refs always call time over cuts. There was nothing unusual about that especially since it was from a headbutt, not a punch.

                    Fury had the same thing against Wallin for the same reason.
