You don't even believe that. Horn wouldn't win a round against Crawford and gets shut out or brutally stopped. I hope they make the fight and if they do you better give Crawford his due for fighting and tooling this dude when it happens. No excuses!
I am looking forward to the rematch far more then the first fight, Hopefully pac pulls a wlad and comes out like his old self.
No one gave him a chance in hell when it was announced he was to fight Pacquiao. People thought he was turning up to serve as Manny's punch bag in order for him to garner some more headlines in his quest for a rematch with Floyd. Yet behold, not only did he win, but he actually done a better more convincing job of it than Mayweather. Horn backed Manny up the entire fight, until he had no choice but to accept his punishment. He literally suffocated Pacquiao. I hope to God it gets announced and Crawford actually starts fighting young men in their prime rather than all the weak opponents he has carefully selected to make himself look better than he is. Those who write off men like Horn, never learn. Boxing is not won on paper, and the unpredictable is always around the corner.
I think Horn would give Crawford trouble. He's a BIG DUDE. And a mean dude. Awkward as all hell. And he's dirty like Andre Ward. Jeff "Andre" Horn. Crawford out boxes Horn but there would be scary moments for Crawford I believe
No it wouldn't be fair on Manny. He's done too much for the sport. He deserves better than to receive another beating at the tail end of his career. Better for him to bow out now with some remnant of respect rather than desperately go on a wild goose chase trying to find his old self that has clearly been buried in the past. Not even peds will bring that old beast back.
Frankly I don't think Pac will do any better in the rematch. According to Roach, he was in rare form for this match, so much that he was confident of a KO. Horn on the other hand will be coming in a bit more confident feeling he knows Pac well and might be able to make some adjustments and a better plan for the fight.
Crawford is prime dummy he's not 38. He will absolutely take a limited and flawed guy like Horn to school. The only thing Horn has on Crawford is size and he doesn't even have the reach advantage against Crawford. The funny thing is you would talk all of this **** about how Horn would beat Crawford and how Crawford would duck him and as soon as the fight was signed you wouldn't put a dime on Horn not only that you wouldn't give Crawford any credit for beating the **** outta him and make excuses after. You're all talk a troll a agitator with an agenda log off.
The difference is Crawford has a lot of dog in him and is a crazy SOB. He would foul Horn back he would take delight in beating the **** outta him and punishing him and talking **** and taunting him while doing so.
If the fight is won fair and within the rules without any apparent overlooked cheating/fouls or suspect scorecards then I always give full credit, without exception. You are entitled to believe that Crawford would be able to cope with Horn. I do not begrudge you for having that belief as he has done a very good job in convincing many that he is p4p material, while coasting through a multitude of bums. We will just have to wait and see if Crawford is actually willing to step up and fight young fighters. We know that he wished he was in Horn's shoes with Pacquaio's name on his record, it would have been ideal for him to get his grubby thuggish hands on another old man to steal a belt from.
People talk about Kovalev but I have long thought that Crawford is the meanest boxer in the game today.
LMFAO!!! I can still see you're still bitter about Crawford-Postol. Crawford will make his own legacy he doesn't need to do it off the back of a faded legend like Pac. Crawford is too much for a limited guy like Horn it actually would be funny to watch Crawford switch from southpaw and orthodox and style on this fool.
Exactly! He's not a bully like Kovalev. He won't be mentally beat before he steps into the ring like Kovalev was against Ward. He won't cry to the ref for borderline low blows he will either foul back or get in your ass. He's a guy who's mild mannered but will click on crazy at the drop of a hat.
