    The difference is both Horn and Crawford are dirty fighters. Crawford's step dad stepped away and let him get on with the headlocks, elbows and holding. Whilst as soon as Horn even had the thought of doing the same, Uncle Bryd said stop and gave him a warning.

    Kovalev is a clean fighter and Ward was doing more than just rough housing. He was brazenly breaking every single boxing rule that has been set, right in front of the referee's face who did nothing about it at all.

    It’s about the same to me when I factor how easy it was for Crawford and how hard it was for Loma. I give them about the same amount of credit for their wins.

    LOL for a grown man you sure cry a lot. Please stop! Crawford started the rough stuff only after Horn put a forearm in his throat. That's what seperates Crawford from Kovalev. When Ward roughed him up he folded, when Horn tried to rough up Crawford, Crawford got in that ass and made Horn pay. See the difference? This is boxing, yeah it gets rough in there but, you're always crying that if the refs did this or didn't do that your hero would have won. The reality is, Horn never had a chance, even if he was allowed to foul to his hearts content. Horn has nowhere near the skill set Crawford has and would have been manhandled even worse. Crawford is a beast!

    Lol! Derrp!

    Yeah because putting a forearm in someone’s throat when tied up in a boxing match and cracking someone numerous times in the nut sack are similar. :wanker

    McDonnell was not a "legit champ". He held a paper title for a while. Kameda had to vacate the WBO belt because WBO would not let him unify with the fake WBA belt(regular).
    And Liborio Solis got shafted big time back in 2016.

    But McDonnell was legit and my jaw dropped watching that fight. It's like Inoue fought a complete novice.

    Maybe, but Crawford actually started his career at 135lbs.

    But Crawford made less mistakes and landed more power punches, I feel he would of stopped Loma the way he fought vs Linares.

    A good way of finding the answer out to this question would be to get Loma to fight Horn and Crawford to fight Linares, that`s interesting specifically on the same bill.

    No way he was going to get badly hurt and Crawford has power, the human brain isn`t that tough, 20% of boxers end there careers with pugilistic dementia, Horn was going and completely overpowered in there.

    McDonell was nowhere near as good as Horn or Linares! Could you imagine him coming back the way Horn did after being hurt in the ninth by Pac? Horn had much more heart than this bum.

    Wait so being drained is a positive now? I thought your opponent drains you for an advantage.. Crawford drained himself and it's a positive for him? lol

    The answer is obviously Loma, but your setup to the question is so biased its comical.

    This logic unfairly penalizes fighters that take on quality opposition. Of course fighters that fight a Horn level of opponent are going to massacre them... and in reality, fighters that fight really good bigger fighters (Loma vs Linares) will not be able to dominate in the same way.

    To hold the wins equal because Loma didnt dominate Linares throughout is doing Linares, the fight, and the win, a disservice.

    Just imo

    Do you honestly believe those few low blows had any bearing on the outcome of the fight? The last shot is close and may have been low and the fight should not have been stopped at that point. When it is all said and done Ward would have beaten Kov in the rematch regardless of the low blows.
