Alot of people forget that Pacquiao recently lost to journeyman Jeff Horn

From pure boxing science, why do you think Jeff Horn did such a good job against Pacquiao?

''Was Pacquiao vs Horn rigged?
Post-fight stats showed that Pacquiao landed almost double the number of punches that Horn landed. Dieter Kurtenbach of Fox Sports described the fight as "rigged", and T. J. Quinn of ESPN commented, “No way in hell Horn won unanimously,” he tweeted.''

Sometimes a bum like Horn will get the Rocky treatment and pull off a massive upset (via highway robbery). Being dirty AF and at home is a nice benefit. As the world saw, Horn's 10 minutes were over almost immediately. Toss Horn in with the other flukes of the sport. Not built for greatness.

LOL! I remember that night Ref Mark Nelson was the worse.

Nobody "forgot" about that loss. They're just in denial about what they witnessed that day

I mean, just look at this absolutely dirty, illegal shot Horn landed against a completely untouched Manny

It was just such a robbery that Roach after the fight told Manny to, "rematch Horn or RETIRE!".

This should be an easy 10 page thread before all the comments become the same and is closed.

Bob Arum got the title off of Pac. Easy to see. Pac leaves Arum and goes to PBC. Arum needed that title to spoon feed Horn to Crawford. Now Arum/Crawford has the belt when it should be over at PBC with Pac. Without that robbery Pac takes the belt with him when he leaves Arum promotions. Therefore, Arum/Crawford use the robbed title as a bargaining chip in negotiations with any PBC fighter.

manny didn’t train hard and paid the price on fight night

and Horn did whatever it took

manny has always been lacking as a dirty fighter and an inside fighter

this is how Horn did most his work

Only 2 other robberies were more blatant

Tito's ''W'' over DLH and Bradley's ''W'' over Pac 1.

Who would have thought the darling of boxing would get robbed in such easy fights to score ?!?!?
