    Lol what BS. First of all Horn wasn't bigger than Crawford, Crawford is a natural welterweight who walks around at 177. Linares was way bigger than Lomachenko. And secondly, Horn is a part time boxer. A school teacher. Half a bum. While Linares is a 3 division world champion. But nice try though.

    If Horn wasn’t bigger than Crawford how is that he missed weight three times already? He is a career welterweight whilst Crawford started at 135? Exercise some logic when you talk about weights.

    Linares was koed by the likes of Salgado and Thompson. Horn beat a 8 division world champion, see how easy I can elevate someone’s win too?

    What is your point? You try to prove that beating Horn is a bigger achievement than beating Linares? Or at least similar? Seriously?

    I’m tryna prove you were talking rubbish in that post.

    Horn is just as good Linares to me, who has Linares beat? Is there even one top name on his resume. Unlike you guys I’m not impressed with just flashy skills, who have those skills worked against? Kevin Mitchell? Gesta? Crolla? The guy ducked zlatacanin shamelessly.

    Yes I enjoyed Crawford's performance and thought he looked as good as per normal. His has a nice variety of punches, is a good counter puncher, with either hand, moves well and he utterly dominated Horn as he should do against that caliber of opponent.

    He still starts off too slowly and is vulnerable early when he yet to find his range and timing but once he has a couple of rounds to warm up he is pretty formidable.

    I also still think he's too open for the right hand lead, he too often leans to his right or leans straight back from the right hand when in the southpaw stance which isn't very effective. But then he can just switch orthodox to take than away from opponents when he feels like it.

    But Crawford needs to step up to fight Thurman and Spence, he had it easy at 140lbs, he needs to showcase his skills against better opposition for people to take him more seriously.

    Lool I’ve actually seen all of Linares losses including the de Marco one where his face looked like it had been in a meat grinder. I saw the Mitchell fight where Mitchell was outboxing till he got that massive haemotoma on his eye. I saw both Crolla fights, in one of them Crollas trainer was gunna throw the towel in till Crolla begged him not too. I know how good Linares is and isn’t. So don’t tell I don’t know his fights.

    Everyone who had a belt at 140, who else has done that in their respective weight division? I’ll wait...
