    Crawford has post car crash Spence and porter that are good but not as good. Then the rest brook is post GGG broken face. Khan glass jaw ect
    Those were the worst versions, though
    How do you think Spence would have done fighting those versions ?

      That's bs Mosley had been out of the ring almost two years. He was already 38. I guess Floyd wanted Mosley to develop joint pain first

            The math is easy
            Lol except it ISN’T…check out the CompuBox punch stats. Manny outlanded Horn 182 vs. 92 punches overall and 11 rounds to 1. Hometown cooking at its finest!

            Manny Pacquiao had a 182-92 edge in total punches landed, hitting on 32%. Pacquiao had a 123-73 edge in power landed, bolstered by a huge ninth round. Jeff Horn

              One is an ICON and the other is a media hype train for this past year.. One will truly be remembered by the masses while the other will easily be forgotten that only hardcore boxing fans might bring up in some discussions in the future.
              Well said…Pacquiao is a top 10 ATG whereas Bud is merely a top 10 fighter of his generation. In fact, I’d give both Bradley + Thurman a decent shot at beating Crawford at Welterweight in their primes and 35-40yo PacMan smoked them both!

                Pac allowed a part time Special Ed teacher to rough him up and rob him

                If HORN and Bud fought 100000x, HORN gets beaten nearly to death each time
                Pac wanted no part in a rematch

                  38yo PacMan made the foolish decision of fighting Horn in Australia and paid the ultimate price despite landing DOUBLE the number of punches which SOFTENED him up for Bud to knock out.

                    Timmeh's best W ?
                    Sometime was coming off a war vs some journeyman before fighting Pac, some 15 months later.

                    Pac is an icon, no doubt.
                    Due to the fact there aren't many Pinoy boxers around.
                    He has them all to himself.
                    Whereas Bud fights in a country with many boxers.
                    If Bud was a Pinoy......
                    This place would go wild praising him

                    Edit -
                    Pac did not "smoke" Timmeh or Sometime
                    Pac went 2-1 (should have been 3-0) vs Timmeh
                    A super flash KD saved him from an L vs Sometime.

                    Let's not exaggerate
