Trainer Pleads With Horn To Forget Crawford, Fight Mundine

Horn thinks he can win.

That's why they'll take the fight.

 

Not mad at a guy going after a payday that Arum won't get him in a Crawford fight. It's not like we expect much from Horn anyway. He is just keeping that belt warm for the first quality guy he fights. If Mundine will give him a big payday, go for it.

 

if mundine fight pays horn then why not ? easy money. but drop your belt!

 

Yes but Mundine has been well past it for many years now he was beaten up by Clottey and stopped by Hatley.

 

It's Johnny Lewis saying this suspects he is struggling to make 147 and was emaciated at the weigh in. Seen it.

 

He better plead with him. He has no chance to beat Bud. #None

 

Nothing. But Horn can beat Mundine whereas Crawford schools him.

 

The seen are doing what they always do by drawing on an article that appeared in the Australian media the day before.

All their Joseph Parker stories are done the same way & sourced from the NZ media.

The original article which is the source of Lewis' comments was written by Grantlee Kieza who also wrote Horn's book.

The purpose of the article is to boost Horn's leverage in negotiating the fight with Crawford.

Horn's dramatic weight-loss late in the piece is just how he does things. He did the same against Pac.

He'll stay at welter & defend against Crawford.

 

Exactly. The offer for Horn to fight Crawford is only $1 million at present.

 

Horn will ride the welterweight wave for as long as he can.

If he gets dumped when it breaks, he'll paddle back out with a bigger board at junior middle.

 

Mundine is the harder fight, Crawford's record at welterweight is 0-0, it would be like fighting McGregor, easy work.

 

Mundine would beat the dog **** out of Crawford.

Why would he do that if he fights Mundine it would be a non title fight? He hasn't even had the title 6 months yet and isn't ducking anybody it was Manny who knocked back the rematch so instead he easily beat a top 10 ranked opponent.If he is getting paid more to fight Mundine in a catch weight non title fight he would be silly not taking it and I don't see the issue as long as he fights Pac or Crawford next.If Horn does fight Mundine he should be able to defend the title a few months later creating the perfect opportunity to give there potential fight a bit more hype with Crawford having his 1st fight at the weight maybe a title eliminator.

 

LOL at trying to justify a fight with a shot 42 year old fighter
