    I have a helluva time envisioning Garcia taking 5 rounds off of Crawford.

    I feel like JERRY Garcia would be more competitive

    He does have somewhat of a jittery, movement based, high energy style, but I don't think he really constitutes a leap amateur. He has some skill and thinks about what he's doing in there. He's way less of a lea[ amateur than people like JT and Khan.

    Crawford does indeed look more relaxed and composed, doesn't necessarily mean he's better though ;)

    Don't get me wrong, Thurman is hardly one of my favourite fighters to watch - I just think he's a bit underrated. People act as if he's some bum, and merely fodder for other elite fighters.

    I'm confident Spence will beat Crawford also.

    I agree, but that's down to styles. I could imagine Porter taking that many rounds off him, and Porter is scrubby as.

    Do you reckon he'd stop Crawford?

    Thurman would have to stop Crawford to win. He sure as Hell wouldn't outbox him. The good news for Keith is, he'd be the biggest puncher Crawford has faced.

    The bad news for Thurman against Spence is, Brook is a better puncher, and Spence walked through him.

    I think it's a very real possibility. But let's see Crawford-Horn first. Horn is scrubby, but he's durable.

    Agreed. And yeah, durable and game. A big, game, durable scrub.

    I hope Manny beats the absolute fuck out of him in the rematch, and that it's not in Australia. Should be in Manila, get some hometown treatment in return.

    Pac-Horn rematch ain't happening, according to Arum.

    Manny refuses to go back Down Under, and doesn't want it in Vegas either. He wants it Manila, but Arum won't do it cause there's no money in it.

    Arum's fed up with Pac, and honestly doesn't give a shit about him anymore.

    His plan is for Horn to fight some scrub before the year is out, then Crawford early next year.

    Fighting a dirty scrub like Horn in his home country was a disgraceful bit of matchmaking for a legend like Pacquiao, pushing 40. Even Crawford would have been a better choice. Arum is a cunt.

    Where did you read that btw?

    Why Spence vs Thurman? Like his style or not, Thurman is THE Welterweight champion (and has a big mouth) and Spence is generally considered as the best Welterweight. Both are undefeated and so this is what makes the fight.

    Spence/Thurman will be good. I just hope it happens sooner than later.

    I'd probably be more excited if it was Wilder actually. Joshua - Ortiz is an interesting fight, but Joshua - Wilder, two big heavies and big punchers, would surely have more fireworks.
