    Horn is a weight bully also , no ifs no buts. I dont think there is anything wrong with that. I am just pointing out the irony that you are very quick to abuse a fighter for being a weight bully yet one of your faves is exactly that. Horn is prob the biggest WW out there at the moment. You also say that Horn will beat Crawford due to being bigger and massive for WW. thats pretty much the definition of hypocrisy, just saying is all.

    Every fighter you mentioned there is a weight bully including Horn

    Horn was the smaller man agains t Funeka, Corcoran and Bailey, he was around the same size as El Mousaoui. He only looked like a weight bully against Pac, because Pac is a midget. Crawford is the weight bully in the equation, finally stepping up to his rightful division.

    So... but that standard, I'm being consistent here pal, I want Hurd to move up and get his ass beaten by a Middleweight like himself, Crawford is long overdue for an ass beating against a Welter like himself. If Horn beats him up, then I guess Bud can't hang with guys his own size, if he doesn't, then I guess Crawford can.

    but you do think Horn is naturally bigger than Crawford. Well we all know he is and you have said multiple times that he will be to big and strong for Crawford and thats how he will lose. So in this instance you are therefore wiling to give credit to Crawford for chasing this fight and going for someone bigger than himself? I mean you were willing to give Horn credit for fighting the bigger men so its only fair that in this fight give Crawford for taking on the bigger man and the guy who in your eyes will batter him?

    Funeka moved up in weight he was not a big WW (he started at FW if i rememeber right ?!)Bailey was also originally a LW also. Massoudi was also originally a SLW. So 5 out of his last 6 fights have been against guys that all started in lower weights. As I said that sorta thing doesnt really bother me there is almost a cut off. Shedding the weight takes something out the fighter defo, being bigger also cleary has its advantages.

    All im doing is pointing out the hypocrisy, nothing more, nothing less.

    Horn is bigger by a hair, but not all that much, because he's a natural WW, Bud is a huge LWW, but a normal WW. Funeka is 6'1, and has been at WW for 4 years get the **** out of here. All your doing is looking for a fight and badly reaching. Give it up, Horn is a WW, and would be undersized at LMW, Hurd is at the very least a MW an a LARGE one at that whose primary advantage is his size. There's no comparison.

    you said all the guys Horn fought were naturally bigger all I did was point out that they had all started at lower weights and moved up thats all nothing more. Hurd is massive for the weight yes but at the same time so Horn. he is defo bigger than Crawford no ifs no buts. But you havent said anything negative about Horn and fighting Crawford but very quick to jump on others.

    If Crawford sparks Horn will you give him credit? Horn himself has admitted he is a massive WW you cannot dispute this. The sport is full of them, I would say the number of fighters who fight at their "natural" weight is very slim. They all look to shed weight to gain that advantage you would be silly not to time will catch up on them however. As I have said multiple times all im doing is pointing out the hypocrisy is having a grudge against guys who are naturally bigger than the weight they campaign at but at the same time you are a massive fan of someone who does this very thing.

    IMO you just look for a stick to beat Crawford down with but refuse to apply the same logic to the fighters that you are a fan of such as Horn.

    Leave the **** alone I'm goddamned tired, and don't feel like being bothered with you. Crawford was Horn's mandatory. Crawford views Hon as a cherry pick. No one would think Book moving up to face Hurd at LMW is a cherry pick. Its a silly moot point.

    Funeka is 40 years old now and in his prime would never have went anywhere near 147. Tommy Hearns fought at Cruiser in his twilight years , he obviously wasn't a cruiser weight.

    Horn is much bigger than Fenuka by being stockier , broader and more physically imposing.

    Hugo Centeno Jr has the same dimensions as Kovalev , but Charlo's superior physicality was clear when he blew him away in a few rounds.

    When I see guys like Spence, Horn and Brook claiming to be huge welterweights and then I see them next to Jarrett Hurd I say......

    That's great, I'm not talking about 10 years, I'm talking about now, and the Funeka that faced Horn is a full fledged WW. Pacquiao started at Light Flweight, Guillermo Jones started at LMW and James Toney started at 160. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Centeno is a bony ass LMW, Hurd is ****ing full fledged Middleweight.

    your just a hypocrite IMO but your a staff member so prob do look to create controversy and talking points on here I find such hypocrisy hard to be taken seriously though. As a staff member I would prefer it if you were more balanced and sensible opinions but then again I know nothing of running a forum and the best methods for gaining activity and traffic.

    As I said will you give Crawford credit for beating Horn, ie a naturally bigger man, it would only make sense.

    I think Crawford KO's him as Horn rushes in. Will be a great fight to watch I thought the Pc/Horn fight was very entertaining. I dont have a preference who wins this fight but think Crawford will time him and stop him in the 2nd half of the fight.

    Yeah , but i don't think Funeka is a natural welter weight. Horn rag dolled the guy.

    nice... If I was to make such an attack would I get banned?

    Why be personal? I havent been like that with you i talked purely boxing and your opinions on such.

    I think we all know why you have responded like this though.
