    I wasn`t as impressed with Floyd on this vid as I was by Crawford v Horn, who do you think was more sharp?

    No. Horn is not remotely skilled. That fight with Crawford was basically a pre-determined exhibition.

    The difference is a great fighter vs a good fighter (Mayweather / Hatton) compared to a very good fighter vs a nobody (Crawford vs Horn)

    Horn didn't even beat an old depleted Paq. Total hype job.

    Hatton had skill and talent. He would have done a lot better against Floyd had Cortez allowed infighting and if Ricky would have stayed off the party circuit.

    Of course not, what a stupid question.

    I’m surprised that Hatton is so underrated in this forum. Really complicates some of my theories about these things.

    Looking forward to watching the Crawford - Horn fight though. I’ve heard it was a pretty masterful performance.

    Easy to look masterful when fighting weak competition.

    Of course it wasn't. Hatton was a proven fighter.

    Despite much opinion and innuendo we still don't know exactly where Horn resides, certainly not beyond a shadow of a doubt. He's crude and low on true skills for sure but he may or may not be a legitimate top 10 Welter. We don't truly know how shot Pac was and nor how good Crawford was.

    If Pac was really shot and Crawford overrated then Horn's future isn't that bright at all. If Pac was still half handy and Crawford schools guys in unification's Horn might be a legitimate contender with some sort of future.

    We will find out pretty fast i imagine.

    Of course (though Horn's not some cab driver or a bum off a barstool). I still look forward to watching how Crawford's creativity in using his arsenal and repertoire to destroy him. Crawford's a rare breed and I enjoy watching him work.

    Hell no and Lomachenko's win over Rigondeaux was no where near as good as Mayweather's win over Marquez. Ask some of the general and they might tell you otherwise, but even the better and more knowledge posters are deluded and beyond help.
