    All those are good points, but the one thing I would say is that Thurman landed more clean hard shots on Pacquiao than Horn did. Both Pac-Man and Keith were loading up and landing bombs on each other. Pac Horn they weren't throwing punches with that same kind of conviction.

    Thurman did better. He won at least 4 rounds in my scorecard. He has good accuracy and timing.

    But to be honest, Pac didn't do as good as this one when he faced Horn. And I thought Pac won that one too.

    This. Thurman didn’t get away with blatant fouling. Crawford himself could’ve taken a loss against Horn if he fought him Australia. Byrd made Horn fight clean.

    Did Fox/PBC say exactly what their Fight Night weights were? I know HBO did that. I imagined Pac would be no more than 148-149 and Keith would be around 160 pounds if not slightly more.

    I can at least respect Thurman's effort. He didn't resort to headlocks or elbows. Horn's style would be more suited for Dana White's UFC. Crawford just outclassed him. A Prime Pac would have walloped both of these guys in his prime. He had Horn on ***** street in Round 9 and Thurman looked like he was about to drop in Round 10.

    Mosley didn`t land much, Clottey didn`t throw much, Matthysse was awful, and Broner just pot shotted all night.

    The only place Horn wins that fight is in Aussie land. There is a reason Pacman wanted no part of the rematch down there. Horn did well in spots but Manny won that fight.

    Can't compare.

    Horn got away with rampant fouling and a rotten home town decision.

    He also fought a totally flat and disinterested Pacman. Nothing like Keith faced.

    Thurman did much better he actually landed good punches on Pac and won some rounds he did not foul or cheat like that POS Horn.
