So the Jeff Horn angle is correct.You didn't answer the question.
With Jeff Horn: #1, Crawford faked a hand injury before that fight, which delayed Horn's camp. He was caught snapping photos of the Top Rank ring girls with a completely unwrapped, undamaged hand days after that announcement. So it was BS.
When you delay fights it throws off fight camp. The fight was delayed TWO MONTHS. Most fighters train for around that long to get ready and if you're already off training, it's hard to just reset and get back into it.
#2, Crawford refused to fight Horn in Australia. I don't care about the reasons - it was a coward move.
So basically Crawford's side did everything possible to remove advantages from Horn's side. Yet people criticize Floyd over the Maidana glove situation, the Manny Toradol situation, Kenny Bayless, etc. It's hypocritical.
That puts an asterisk on that win, because Horn was not at 100%, in Australia, with Mark Nelson as the ref (ideally). Crawford didn't beat the top Horn. He got the win but it was tainted. That's what I said.
When someone refuses to accept facts they can verify themselves (all of what I just said are facts you verify), they get ignored. It's not hard.
#1. This might all be true but the disparity in talent between Crawford and Horn is so big that none of that even matters if it is true.
#2 why would Crawford be willing to fight in Australia when the whole world saw Pacquiao get absolutely robbed there?
There’s absolutely no asterisk on that one. Just an easy one sided victory for Crawford. Did you see anything in that fight that leads you to believe Horn would be competitive against Crawford no matter when or where? I sure didn’t. And I’m not a Crawford fan either.
I hate to burst your bubble but the only weapon Horn has against world class opposition is home cooking.Comment

Errol Spence went over the pond to Kell Brook's backyard, knocked him out and took back the IBF that Porter lost at home.So the Jeff Horn angle is correct.

I respect fighters that don't complain about "hometown" - they do what they need to do to be great. People complaining about "robberies" (Manny didn't get robbed, he took it lightly and paid for it in a very close fight, according to 6 of 8 judges worldwide).
Even 'Man Bun' Formella was brave enough to come over the pond to fight Shawn Porter.
And even though Porter was too much, Formella was never hurt, never stopped throwing back and gave a good showing even in his first loss.
Why does the WBO Welterweight Champion get a pass when the IBO Welterweight Champion stepped up?
Crawford won't go over the pond to fight anyone, won't fight Porter, won't fight Keef, won't fight Russell, won't fight Swift, etc. Coward.Comment

I watch fights and analyze what happens in the ring.
You know how many of you guys do that? That is boxing.
I dont care for who is under what promotion all I care is who fights who. So did it ever really matter to me?
No. You guys love the drama outside the ring FAR MORE than what happens in it.
But I can see how much it matters to you "real fans ". Chose a side and pretend that your side is the best. Cheer your hero on, whatever.
Everyone was a casual at some point but no, someone like you must have been born knowing everything right?
Man that pathetic mentality you all share.Comment
