Jeff Horn is woeful and Bud's resume is still lacking

    Can we stop pretending that Horn was a legitimate champion?

    He didn't even belong in the same arena as Bud much less the same ring.

    If Bud wants to prove he's a worthy 147 champion, he should immediately be challenging Spence if he's really about his business.

    Thurman wants no part of Errol so somebody needs to step up to the plate and challenge him and that should be Bud.

    Did I mention how much Jeff Horn sucks?

    Which is why we need to see him fight Spence.

    Horn was a good win because it’s his first win at 147. The manner in which he beat horn was very impressive. The man didn’t lose a round!

    It wasn't a good win in reality because Horn sucks. Paper champ.

    Cmon man
    Crawford won every round against the bigger man the first time at the weight
    Horn “sucks” meaning he’s at least top 10-12 welter. Sorry but he doesn’t suck there’s just levels.

    Horn doesn't suck, but he's isn't that good either. A safe opponent with modest skills with an average punch and the reach of a featherweight. In other words a perfect welcome to 147 pounds for Crawford.

    Crawford needs to fight the winner of Spence vs. Garcia. Only then will he have proven he is elite. Right now he has elite skills but tested them vs just okay competition. Crawford is 30...his prime is now.

    I think Crawford might have a bit of a suspect chin, a close to in talent but no cigar Roy Jones version of a welter weight. We'll see.

    I don’t understand why you Loma fan boys can’t say you think Loma is better without trashing his p4p rivals resume. Would it be fair if I said Loma went life and death and got dropped by a chinny Linares?

    Lomachenko is not a light heavyweight draining down to fight someone at the lower weight classes and pretending that's his normal weight.

    Loma legitimately had to move up from lightweight to fight the naturally bigger man.

    If there was a fairer rule for weight classes, Crawthug would be having to fight and share the ring with the likes of Kovalev, Stevenson, Okolie and co.

    If you don’t like the rules don’t watch the sport.

    Unbeaten undisputed, 3 division world champ, still needs to prove his elite? Show me another fighter in the sport with those accolades please?

    That's a bit simplistic way of looking at things.

    Do you agree with every single rule in boxing? Do you think it's a good rule that the promoters are allowed to select their own judges and ref's for an event, instead of an independent body that has no ties with the fighters?

    The weight class issue is a big problem because the health and saftey of the fighters are then compromised when one fighter has a an over 20lb advantage.

    I'm sure you don't like seeing fighters end up as mindless vegetables or dead, so why the hell do you think it's good reason to believe that you should have accept every rule or stop watching the sport?

    Crawford would beat Lomachenko, IMO.
