    I never thought Crawford would blatantly duck Horn. I mean, I know Horn's a rough tough lad, but Crawfords meant to be p4p1 on some peoples list, with ATG skills. Where's his self belief gone????????? Can anyone help me on it please, i'm confused about it !

    I have a serious question.. Why do you all think Bud is ducking Horn? And mos importantly.. Do you all honestly think Horn can win this? Like legit win no dirty tactics no cuts type of scenario do you honestly give him a chance? IMO Crawford will win this fight rather easy.. Will make Horn look dumb.. But who knows.. thoughts?

    He got that droopy eyed slack jawed look that Ward has. Like "I'm that cool to put any effort in to it" look. I'm surprised neither dribble

    I think its 50/50. But I argue for Horn as I'm dumbfounded at the absolute dismissal of Horn, I think its based on foolish emotion rather than careful analysis or reason. Horn has fought plenty of skilled boxers and has a very good resume, the Pacquiao fight was no fluke, he has run over them all like a steam train. Granted Crawford is very skilled, but Horn has been able to take that element away in all his past fights by applying constant high intensity and pressure, forcing his type of fight upon his opponents. Crawford is smaller than those guys, and his resume doesn't contain any quality pressure fighters like Horn. To keep Horn off him, Crawford is going to have to have a very strong punch, which he doesn't, thus is going to have to do to Horn what all others, including strong punchers like Pacquiao and Bailey, have failed in the past, and keep him at bay on his bike all night. Being much smaller, I think this is going to be a very difficult task for Crawford. As I've said previously, Horn will completely disrespect Crawfords boxing ability and any sort of power, he always does, and will turn this into a phonebox dogfight, and it will be a test of Crawfords endurance, stamina, durability, heart and chin if he can last as the rounds wear away. Crawfords past opponents have all tried to box him, Horn will be a new experience for him altogether in a type of fight he has never fought, in a higher weight class. 50/50.

    The other kids in school used to tease Dre unmercifully about his dribbling problem. They used to call him ''Dre Dribble'' and ''Drooling Dre.'' This is the reason why still to this day he's constantly licking his lips every few seconds like a lizard.

    Ok. IMO he lost to Pac Man .So to me 19 tried and one succeeded but was robbed. However fair enough and a win is a win and fight was closer than many though. After the fight with Crawford if Horn wins which I doubt with all my black heart I promise to come back to this very post and eat my crow. Cheers!

    He'd only arguably be the best name on his resume due to size, p4p Crawfords beaten better fighters. He'd just be another bum after Crawford whoops him anyway.

    Likewise Crawford, don't let the Horn haters fool you, Horn is a very big, tough, durable, fast and agile pressure fighter. If Crawford wins he will have more than proven his metal at Welterweight.

    I can see Crawford turning into shades of Tevin Farmer at Welterweight
