    Crawford has never been in the ring with the calibre of opponents that Kovalev has had to face, all of which had SK fighting as the away fighter.

    Crawford has had everything his own way, with the exception of having to fly to the uk to fight a washed up Ricky Burns who has always been a padded up British hype job bum.

    Of course he is going to be relaxed and at ease mentally when every time he is entering into fights he is up against men twice his age who he knows he is levels above. The moment the boy steps outside his comfort zone he will begin to know terror. And Horn is the man to take him to places he has never been before, then we will see whether Crawford is as cool, calm and collected as his exterior alludes.

    Horn who is as awkward as they come, is the same man who ran circles around one of the sports biggest legends who made Mayweather run, will be the one who will take Crawford to hell and back while giving him an education in and outside the ring.

    I remember when Crawford was fighting Prescott and Prescott was complaining to the ref about Crawford. Crawford told Prescott to quit acting like a b*tch. lol

    Stop it! First Pac never made PBF do anything. PBF beat Pac with ease 2 years ago. You're a wishful thinker if you think a limited guy like Horn can do anything but get hit at will against a prime talent like Crawford. The judges won't be able to save him against Crawford like they did when he fought Pac.

    I can relate to that because it makes sense to me. Good read.

    pacquiao landed more punches and outpointed the aussie.. for sure. but it was kind of strange to see pacquiao landing, yet horn kept coming forward (except for the 9th round.. he got on his bicycle then.. so he can move a little bit), some punches bounced of horn like nothing (youth on his side.. no ghosts yet). does little manny have no power? or does horn have a jr-middleweight chin? interesting fight. i look forward to the rematch and i hope it's on espn again (doubt that, though)

    if he keeps coming forward on crawford like that, he gets waxed.

    I'd prefer to see Horn/Crawford than a Pac rematch. Bud is the obvious favorite but Horn showed us that should not be counted out.

    Hasn't Arum been wanting to get to the Australian market for a while now?
    Jeff Horn is now what Zou Shiming was to Top Rank(Shiming has cut ties).

    Top Rank, if they can, will sell the **** out of Jeff Horn. There are plenty of domestic level fights and Crawford will be moving up in weight.

    And truth be told, the Pacquiao ride is not yet over.
    Manny´s political power is tied to his success inside the ring. And where has Manny not fought in years? The Philippines! A fight there would be a mega event. And you know it would be a hit on ESPN and around the globe, no matter the opponent.

    It was a good fight with an enormous amount of drama.
    But i doubt they will fight again. Horn is the biggest boxing star in Australia and Bob might not risk loosing such an asset so soon.
    Pacquiao can fight anyone in the Philippines and it would me an enormous event.
