    Horn is a scrub yeah, but he is a big, tough, gutsy scrub. Honestly, I'll be surprised if Crawford destroys him or handles him with complete ease.

    He couldn't destroy Burns or Gamboa, and since then has only beaten very average fighters, whose records (on paper) are far better than their fighting ability.

    I agree with you, I think it's a little sad now that past prime Senator Pacquiao has led people to forget just how utterly phenomenal peak Pacquiao was. There's a reason why he was considered P4P #1.

    And let's not forget he started his career at 106 pounds ffs, it's unreal the way he destroyed people at higher weights, unprecedented.

    Horn has no chance against Crawford. He's gonna get outboxed and out slicked all night.

    It'll be similar to the fight with Postol.

    No it won't be. Postol lasted the distance. Horn will not.

    Of course Crawford will win, there's no doubt about that. I just don't think he'll destroy Horn with ease. I expect horn to win a couple of rounds and go the distance, just like against Pacquiao.

    I hope Crawford does batter him though, for obvious reasons.

    Horn only went the distance with Pac because Pac hasn't put his foot on the gas and gone for a stoppae in 8 years. The last time Manny really TRIED for a KO was in the final Marquez fight. After getting stretched in that one, he hasn't pressed for a stoppage since.

    Crawford boxes until he smells blood... then he presses the issue to get the stoppage.

    It won't be a clean KO, but trust me, he'll stop this bum.

    Fair point, I know Pacquiao somehow softened up and turned into a decision machine, but still, I kind of figured Horn is big and gutsy enough to last the distance with Crawford, who is a small welter and not the biggest puncher.

    Manny also has lost some of the snap in his punches he used to have.

    Horn is really a scrub. Any of the 147 champs would outclass him with ease, I think.

    If there's any top welterweight Horn could possibly beat, it'd definitely be Garcia.

    Garcia was having Hell with old, shot Rios. I could see Horn beating him.

    Yeah Garcia looked downright vulnerable against Rios.

    I still think he'll beat Porter.

    I agree with this, I’ve never been overly impressed with Crawford and I think he can only be #1 p4p if the cupboard is bare.

    I also agree many have forgotten how good Manny was so I would suggest they go and watch his documentary “Manny”. It shows his come up and revisits a lot of his old fights. Trust me, you will be remembered’d.
