Crawfords resume.

Horn is as good as prime Hatton.

 

Not arguing either way,
Crawford resume is OK.
He got the accolades from boxing world as the consensus top 1-2 p4p.
I don't think floyd was p4p top 3 at lightweight.

 

I disagree. Hatton is definitely much better than Horn.

 

Hatton was a better body puncher, but Horn`s movement before he came in was better than Hatton`s even though Hatton`s feet were much faster. I just feel Hatton wasn`t a real welter and Horn`s active guard worked much better against Pac than Hatton`s guard which was useless v a younger Pac, I`m telling you know matter what the age Hatton would always lose to Pac and wouldn`t have came back after the ninth round that Horn endured well against Pac.

 

I'm talking in p4p sense though. Horn is bigger than hatton. Horn would not last against pac who fought a prime welter in clottey. He might last longer than 2 rounds but inevitably be knocked out.

 

Let's not look at the number of fights but at their age as it is a much better representation, Floyd was 27 in his 33 rd fight, Crawford was 30, at 30 Floyd already beat Castillo, Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Zab Judah, Corrales, none of Crawfords wins are as good as these 5, Crawford beat absolutely nobody, his best win is Gamboa or Horn, Gamboa who got a robbery win over a Loma leftover, and Horn who got a robbery win over shot and disinterested Pacquiao. Once crawford beats Thurman, Spence and idk Danny Garcia, I would consider him for p4p number 1

 

Floyd's shadow looms so large over this sport...

 

Crawford is easily the best P4P fighter on the planet besides Loma.
Theyre both as natural as you can be in the sport.

Both need opponents that will rise to the occasion, but theres a lack of it at their current weights.
Loma has had Salago, Gulliermo and now Linares.

Crawford will find it at welterweight. He'll be on every ones list and gain every ones respect by the end of this year.

 

Problem I have with Crawford's resume is that he beat a lot of guys who just pop out after one win and then disappear. It takes away from the credibility of the wins at least for me, because it's kind of proof that these guys weren't that good to begin with. Postol, Indongo and most likely Horn are examples of that.

He has fought few guys who mixed it up on the world stage on multiple occasions, namely Burns, Beltran and Gamboa. The former two are really C/B- level guys. Gamboa past his prime and way smaller.

I honestly just want to see him now against a legit proven champion, someone like Danny Garcia or even Shawn Porter if Thurman and Spence can't be made just now.

 

weak resume

beat spence, DSG, porter, then talk

 

beat me to it.... I'm no massive fan of Hatton but c'mon!

 

No way. Hatton was a legitimate world champion and actually beat top fighters. Horn got a gift against PAC and was only competitive because he was allowed to foul the whole fight. Everybody knew he would get exposed by any top 10 welterweight. Outside of Australia Horn isn't a top 10 fighter. Broner and Jessie Vargas

Kostya Tszyu, was a longtime champion when Hatton beat him.

Hatton would by far be the best fighter on Crawford's resume while Horn isn't even one of Crawford's top 5 wins. A prime Gamboa and Postol both beat Horn.

 

No

 

This. It's decent for where he is in his career. At least couple of guys he beat were lauded as Bud's kryptonite around here until 5 minutes after he utterly outclassed them and they became bums, journeymen and no-hopers.

It appears to me that he has reached his optimal weight and I am looking forward to a better resume moving forward.
