I mean, why wouldn’t I. He’s/they used their names specifically, wanting to fight Golovkin and Canelo in big fights in 2019.Like a Boss wrote: ↑03 Dec 2018, 22:33You are taking what they are saying waaaay too literally.lazboy wrote: ↑03 Dec 2018, 22:29Ok there purpose is to make waves and get the big fights in particular agaisnt golovkin and Canelo.

Re: mundine vs horn / nov 30th
haha good one! From putting on a lacklustre event to calling out two of the most dangerous and popular fighters on the planet, of course not to fight them according to you, Horn must be following the mayweather blueprint. Lucky for Horn he's far more skilled then Mayweather and won't need to age Glolovkin or canelo out, wouldn't you agree. Yes - case closed.Like a Boss wrote: ↑03 Dec 2018, 23:04![]()

I SAID CASE CLOSED!

ladyboy hasn't taken his medication today, lol.
Re: mundine vs horn / nov 30th
Horn isn't fighting GGG or Canelo. If he was going to stay at MW he wouldn't have requested/demanded a re-hydration clause against Mundine who wasn't as good as either of those guys at his best let alone the shell version of himself. I don't think he will go back down to WW but looking at SWW there is a chance he could beat one of the many WBA champions.
Re: mundine vs horn / nov 30th
He’s called out golovkin and Canelo again saying he could fight in any of the three weight classes middleweight being the max. It certainly does bring him media attention.

If Horn has any intention of actually trying to land a Canelo or GGG fight his next fight will be in America or Europe against a decent middleweight.
He's not going to go from failing to be competitive in a welterweight fight to wiping out a faded, 40-something to sharing the ring with the biggest names in the near weight divisions.
The line for Canelo and/or GGG is long and at this time Horn is not at the front.
Re: mundine vs horn / nov 30th
Yes only in aus and you’d think the attention it receives wouldn’t be positive when digested by fans. Hopefully we see him focus on realistic challengers than wait for a shot.Perseus wrote: ↑08 Jan 2019, 22:14Only in Australia.lazboy wrote: ↑08 Jan 2019, 16:49 He’s called out golovkin and Canelo again saying he could fight in any of the three weight classes middleweight being the max.
