    Did Thurman get hit more by Manny than Horn did and how will Khan compare to Horn and Thurman in his fight v Manny, if they meet in November?

    Not good obviously. Horn won, Thurman lost.

    Thurman would stop horn similar to Crawford. Styles makes fights and Thurman too strong for horn and would stop him mid rounds.

    Crawford is better at setting up his shots than Thurman is though.

    THUrman is bigger the Crawford. Different strategy same result. Horn would have no answer to thurmans strength and power. And he can and will land.

    Pac says Thurman hardest hitter he’s faced so that’s saying a lot.

    Cotto, Mosley, clottey, Margo, Matthysse, broner (kd porter and put it on Mikey), horn has decent power as mundine would say, jmm. And all these guys have had 10-20lbs on him.

    I don’t know how hard Crawford hits but he couldn’t get khan out of there the way Danny did. So mathysee and Thurman are automatically harder hitters and most likely cotto and heredia jmm too and so is Mosley.

    I think Pac was stumped by Horn's rushing style and size + he got away with a lot in his home soil whereas Thurman actually boxed well against Pacquiao and went tit for tat. So I kinda respect Thurman's performance more.

    Thurman was badly hurt twice: got dropped and then hurt to the body, putting him into a hard retreat for a round.
    Horn was badly hurt once: never got dropped but got hurt to the head, putting into hard retreat for a round.
    Horn > Thurman

    Horn won many of the opening rounds when Pac was fresh, while Thurman did well pretty much when Pac was tiring.
    Horn > Thurman

    Horn fought a younger Manny.
    Horn > Thurman

    Horn KO'd Mundine in seconds, making him a national hero in his country.
    Horn > Thurman

    Ultimately Horn has done better than Thurman in this comparison, regardless of how people scored the fights.

    This was a better version of Pacquiao imho than when he fought Horn. He was more motivated vs Thurman, as all the **** talk from Thurman lit a fire in Manny.

    If thurman was allowed to headbut, headlock, trip, elbow Pac too whilst giving him every swing round, he would have beaten Pac 10-2.
