    Yeah but at least Linares has 3 decent names, Horn has only one that is extremely questionable due to circumstances. I'll rate the win if Horn looks good against Crawford but if Crawford completely dominates him, IDK, is that Crawford just being that good or Horn got a lucky break against an aged Pac?

    3 "decent" names lol. If those names are decent what is Pac, ****ing amazing?

    Crawford being that good. Not surprised you're already discrediting Crawford though lol.

    Serge and CST80 are smoking the good stuff, and washing it down with a healthy dose of Hateraid.

    Can't argue that Loma is #1. Just because Loma is crowned 1, doesn't mean Crawford is garbage! He is a damn good fighter and like G was for several years, Crawford is doing what he's supposed to do with the level of op put in front of him. If you remember, G passed the eye test. It's not so much who he beat, it's how he beat them. Same goes for Crawford. If I could compare 2 contrasting styles in anything it would be dancing. Crawford is like a ballet dancer and Loma is like the Nicholas brothers. When you realize how difficult it is for a man to jump in the air and do 3 complete revolutions and land on one foot with ease and grace, you start to appreciate ballet a little more. That would be Crawford. Loma would be a Nicholas brother, fast, slick, smooth and powerful jumping off of stairs and landing in the splits. Just amazing stuff.

    You didn't get my point man, Linares has been around for a while and fought 3 noteworthy opponents, I think Campbell and Mitchell are pretty decent but okay, I'll give it to you they're not good. Point is, Linares even if his resume is pretty thin also at least has SOME level of depth..

    Horn only has one and one thing only going for him and that is questionable.

    Didn't say they weren't good. I actually think quite highly of Campbell. Did you watch the fight though? Campbell completely dominated the second half. For some reason he was terrified and got KD in the first half. Then Linares could barely touch the guy.

    I understand your point Linares has depth. But I'll take one incredibly good win over 3 decent wins, 2 where Linares struggled badly. Horn might have struggled against Pac but it's Pac lol. It's understandable. If Linares dominated Campbell that's a whole different story.

    This is P4P #1 Bisexual thread. Too much sexual tension between Serge and CST. Equivalent of if Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis teamed up.

    I actually had Horn winning the fight clearly so it's not questionable for me that he won the fight, for me the question is how good Pac is at that point.

    Because Horn was pretty much meant to be a no-risk fight for an old Pac but he still lost - to someone completely unknown even by hardcores, and it's not uncommon for guys at Pac's stage of career to start showing their age overnight or for guys like Horn to just have one good performance due to styles or whatever and outperform themselves in a fight they shouldn't be winning.

    Nah, I need more proof. I'll rate this win in retrospect, IF Horn goes on to do good things after Crawford or he gives a really good account of himself in the Crawford fight then I'll give Crawford his due, right now I'm on the fence on this one.

    Personally I think that was a well deserved and very legit win for Horn, who's far more slippery, awkward and skilled than most seem to be able to process. This will not be an easy win for Crawford, and quite frankly I'm not sure if he'll even beat him. I'm leaning Horn at the moment. So if Crawford beats him, with no scoring controversy or by KO, I'll give him full credit for that win, and he'll deserve it.

    And look at Linares versus Horn comparison.

    Horn is being given no chance, whilst Linares was viewed as someone who could really test Loma.

    Now you can say that people are just doing this to overrate Linares or take away credit for Crawford but even fighters/trainers where saying Linares could be dangerous or people who aren't even on Loma's camp.
