    Both of these fighters are utter jokes. Horn and Marriaga both have same level wins, basically nobodies. Marriaga did give a good fight to Valdez so I wouldn't complain if you say that Marriaga is the better fighter. However Marriaga is also moving up in weight and coming off a loss, and also lost every round to a guy that Lomachenko completely dominated. The excuses for Pac/Lomachenko taking these fights are Pac is fighting his "mandatory", and Lomachenko is being "ducked". I'd side with Lomachenko's excuse more, though I think he could have found a far better opponent than Marriaga. They're both awful fights for me. If Pac wasn't a world champion, I'd easily say that Lomachenko's fight is a bigger joke since Pac is old af, but since he is a champion and holding a belt hostage it's pretty much equal to me.

    Neither are even remotely close to being as big of a joke as Mayweather/McGregor, why don't you make a thread about that instead? At least these guys are fighting REAL boxers.

    Hope you don't mean bigger joke than Mayweather/McGregor.

    It's called PRIZE FIGHTING for a reason. Are Loma and Pac getting paid record numbers for fighting Horn and Marriaga? The reason I don't make the thread is because Floyd is a retired boxer and not a world champion. Did you not read my thread? I said that I wouldn't even complain about Pac fighting Horn if he wasn't a world champ holding up unifications. If Loma/Pac were 40+, not a world champion, and coming out of retirement to fight a Mcgregor for a 5m+ppv and a 9+ figure payday, do you honestly believe I'd be making threads about it calling it a joke?
    Forget retired, 40+, not a world champ, if they were active, in their prime and a world champ, I wouldn't complain about them making record breaking numbers.

    Or because you're a fan of him and wanted to take a jab at these two instead.... It's the biggest scam that's ever been played on the masses, and a complete insult to the boxing community. You're talking bad matchups, now you have excuses for not talking about the worst high profile match that's ever been made in the history of boxing. Who are you trying to kid?

    Horn vs Pacman is no joke! Horn is a undefeated boxer in his prime fighting a former legend
    way past his prime...could be close

    It's a shitty fight forsure. But I never criticize a boxer for taking the biggest money fights. They put their lives on the line. If Loma/Pac were making that kind of moeny against Horn and Marriaga, I promise you that I would not peep a word about it. FFS I even said that Beltran was a good fight for Loma when there were reports of that fight getting made.

    Who has Horn beat? Have you seen this guy fight? Undefeated doesn't mean anything in boxing in 2017.

    I,ve seen some of his fights...he,s a decent puncher with some boxing skills.
    Don,t forget that Pacman isn,t the same fighter he once was...

    He's slow af and sloppy. He's an awkward fighter with a high motor. Berto would have knocked this dude out.

    I also criticized Floyd for taking the Berto fight. But these 2 fights are far bigger jokes.

    The lomachenko fight is a far bigger joke Horn is ranked 2 by WBO and IBF and is deserving of title shot even if there may have been bigger fights pacquio could have taken.
