Spence would do a smart move to ask a fight against Horn

His promoter should push for this fight. It'a a winnable fight and a good scalp on his resume.

Which means he'll never fight Errol Spence and will look for the weakest possible opponents if he beats Pacquiao again -- which I doubt he'll do.
I'm consistent. I didn't give Pac sh*t for the Horn fight because it was his "retirement tour", I also didn't give Floyd sh*t for Berto. Every fight isn't gonna be the biggest thing ever.Badhusker wrote:I can remember not too long ago Spence's team was basically criticized for considering a fight vs Horn. Spence was not a champion, needed to prove himself yet, etc. Pacquiao, on the other hand, got a pass because it was his "retirement tour", or some bullshit, by his nut hugging fans. Quite a few on this site are pretty hypocritical. Floyd was lambasted for fighting Berto for his final fight, and was a year older than Pac at the time. I'm quite sure Spence would still be criticized for a fight vs Horn.
Pull your plonker out of Floyds arse badhusker. Floyd was still on top for the toughest challenges.Badhusker wrote:I can remember not too long ago Spence's team was basically criticized for considering a fight vs Horn.

I would on the basis that horn isn't a top fight, but to collect 2 belts on the spin would be good.

I think Errol is gonna fight Peterson.
That's an insult to Joe Smith!apollo creed wrote:Horn is a nice scalp like Joe Smith is at lhw.
Horny Toad needs to avoid Spence like the plague if he wants to keep his fraudulent unbeaten record!!crusader wrote:Horn would do a smart move to not fight Spence
Be fair to horn, it's the judges that have let boxing down, not horn. Horn played his part in a gutsy effort. If you're going to have a pop it should be at the judgesBest Coast wrote:Horny Toad needs to avoid Spence like the plague if he wants to keep his fraudulent unbeaten record!!crusader wrote:Horn would do a smart move to not fight Spence
Smith isn't even a scalp is he? Unless you're a 175er on the way upBest Coast wrote:That's an insult to Joe Smith!apollo creed wrote:Horn is a nice scalp like Joe Smith is at lhw.
I'm pretty sure Barrera was salivating at a fight with Smith. Otherwise he would fight Beterbiev.Ossyrules wrote:Smith isn't even a scalp is he? Unless you're a 175er on the way upBest Coast wrote:That's an insult to Joe Smith!apollo creed wrote:Horn is a nice scalp like Joe Smith is at lhw.
100% accurate.jockpunk wrote:Spence isn't going to push for this fight because he knows there is absolutely zero chance he will ever get it. Anyone with half a brain knows that.
Horn is going to fight pac again and if he wins, will get matched up against other arum guys. Best case would be Crawford.
Why the hell would arum put horn in with spence? A fight that doesn't make great money against a guy he doesn't control?
I agree this fight isn't happening. 90% of stuff discussed here doesn't happen tbh does it!jockpunk wrote:Spence isn't going to push for this fight because he knows there is absolutely zero chance he will ever get it. Anyone with half a brain knows that.
