Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Horn Not That Good, It's Like The Ref Wanted To Help Him

Too much texting not enough training.

I thought Pacquiao won but the reality is that the Pacman and his team did not take Horn seriously enough.

Who did exactly?

No, I don't share with f**kheads. The majority of fans feel that he lost the first Castillo fight and fought to a draw In the first Maidana fight. At the end of the day, all that matters Is how he Is remembered by boxing fans and his peers.

He's remembered as the best of his era. Can't get much better than that.

Anyone would have to admit those were some weak, wack excuses. But serial excuse maker is too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sure are, but Floyd felt the need to make excuses even after getting gift decisions on the scorecards. Why Is that?

I believe that, but It will be disputed by certain Individuals, he just Isn't TBE as he likes to claim.

The referee was amazing, he even warn Horn he would stop the fight after the 9th round which horn lost completely. He broke them off when he had to, got his gloves sorted out in seconds, made time for Pac cuts and even warn horn on several occasions.

The majority of fans? According to you? At the end of the day all that really matters to any professional boxer is how much money they have in their bank account actually. They could give two ****s about what you or me or the vast majority of "fans" have to say about them. That's a rock solid fact for you.

arum set him up to lose the belt and to get that belt back is a rematch and a rematch is to resign with top rank **** bob

Manny and his team definitely did not take Horn seriously, no doubt in my mind.

I think Manny lost his hunger after the Marquez KO, and changed his whole approach to training and fighting.

Combine that with Bob Arum being crooked as **** and some pretty ****** judges in Horn's home country Manny just set himself up for this IMO.

You can blame lots of factors, but the fact is if Manny was 100% focused and prepared he would have easily decisioned Horn or stopped him late.

it's not Horn's fault, but I understand fans frustrations when it comes to the current version of Manny.

Horn showed how tough he was, Pacquiao should at least mention that or give him some credit. I've noticed that Pacquiao never gives credit to anyone he's lost to.

[AdonisCreed]

Manny come on man. You should have wiped Jeff horn off the face of the planet. I mean Horn was a huge under dog basically a cherry pick fight that wasn't supposed to be competitive, yet he made Pac look average. That's what happens when you underestimate your opponent. Seriously Pacquiao should have ended Horn in 4 maybe 5 rounds.
