If Crawford was a natural 160 pounder would he beat GGG?

    If he was a natural 160er, he'd had a different style then what you see. \thread...

    I'm not sure he wouldn't beat GGG at 160 to be honest.

    Whoa! Lemiuex was a dangerous fighter, world class puncher. Horn is a C- fighter who is awful

    Is this the P4P argument?

    If Golovkin was a heavyweight, he would knock out Joshua, Wilder and Fury all in the same night.

    He can easily fight in MW.

    Sure, if he allows his body to develop for the division, over the course of at least a couple of years MIN.

    What if Crawford was a Dolphin... Could he swim in the sea and shag a whale?

    Horn has a better resume.

    No he doesn't. One controversial win doesn't make a resume. Lemmie has wins over other MW contenders at the least.

    Horsesht. Lemiuex’s best wins are Ndam and Stevens. He lost to Alcine and Rubio, and was embarrassed by BJS who is not a top pfp talent.

    Horn beat Pacquiao who was still pfp and for a respectable enough title. Horn also beat some fringe contenders and prospects. Losing to Crawford was expected.

    You fight more contenders, that happens. Horning is living off one controversial win

    Go through Horn's record on boxrec. He was thrown in tough since his fourth or fifth fight and always beats the B and C level guys, unlike David. He's legit. Lemieux will never beat anyone as good as a fading Pacquiao. Lemieux is actually a guy with quite a bit of pading on his record.
