    Postol was superior to Lemieux. He was more on par with Jacobs.

    ...look at the loss column.

    So are you saying that those three gents fit your definition of a world class fighter and that their resumes are impeccable. Are you also saying that Crawford don't make people sit up and notice because as I remember, he had 12 thousand standing up and taking notice.

    I would happily depart with my money to see GGG fight Canelo or two special fighters in Rigo and Lamachenko do battle against one another

    I can't say I would even stay up and watch Crawford fight a man, who only first discovered what a boxing glove feels like less than 10 years ago

    The HW champion of the world only discovered boxing gloves 10 years ago. JS

    That was a mistake on my part as I vividly remember that Figueroa battered him as if he was an housewife that cooked him his supper the wrong way, in an untimely manner.

    It served him well in beating two people who's been boxing much longer than he has in their own backyards, who both had access to the best equipment.

    I'm sure if you trained religiously and devotedly for 6 months along with possessing the right physical dimensions, you'd have a good chance against Ricky Burns.

    Yeah yeah, I understand all that but would you pay to watch Canelo fight Kirkland or GGG fight Willie Monroe or Loma fight Mirriaga or Rigs fight the gent he just fought. The Crawford fight was free but would you pay to watch him fight Horn.

    No I would not pay to watch GGG fight Monroe or Canelo fight Kirkland. The difference is no one is building up those opponents to be anything more than fodder.

    And I would pay good money to watch Horn bully the bully before he finishes the fight and dedicates the win to all the little men who were bullied by Crawford in and outside the ring just like he did with the win over Manny...

    This is what boxing needs, real role models who are willing to fight anyone and leave everything in the ring while standing up for what is right. Not thugs who pad up their records just to earn as much money as quickly as possible.

    So what is the difference between Horns skill level and Indongo's ? Horn beat an old worn out fighter. What's the difference.

    Nothing whatsoever. Horn is about a level below Indongo, actually.

    Difference is Horn went through one of the best pound for pound fighters of this generation. Indongo went through Ricky Burns

    Ricky Burns vs Pacquaio = No contest.

    Funny how Pacquaio wasn't a old worn out fighter before he fought Horn? Funny how many thought the fight was a joke and a cherry pick, yet now it was a formality for Horn because Manny was allegedly ''old and worn''. Why didn't Jessie Vargas and Bradley beat him if he was so worn out?

    So just to get this right are you saying that Crawford isnt p4p rated?! Cos thats what your OP insinuates.

    He was p4p rated before the Indongo fight, Indongo wasnt. He is still p4p after showing Indongo's lackings.

    I think he would destroy Horn, fight doesnt last over half distance IMO. Horn far to easy to hit for Crawford, the fight is as difficult as Crawford wants it to be.
