    So Does Horn Get Full Props? no Excuses? PAC opposition paradox

    I finally got a chance to watch this fight. I didn't expect PAC to underperform like this... I will say that Horn, given all his highlights before, this kid showed some clever leg movement that was just a tad reminiscent of a wannabe Loma, meaning to sidestep somewhere else, and then push forward. Either PAC didn't have it in him, or it was too awkward for PAC, for as they said he didn't come prepared.

    I mean given the Horn highlights, I must confess the fight was good. I was expecting some Rod Salka shıt... of course Horn was ranked, but I think the Aussie camp might have outdid themselves in a really good performance that slap shocked his highlight reel.

    As with every one of Pacquiao's losses, there's nothing but excuses. His opponents never get credit. Pacquiao and his fans are sore losers.

      There's some weird mysticism going around...

      First, I'm giving PAC a pass for now.. let's see his next move.

      Second, Top Rank is finally getting the heat in which many PAC fans are now starting to see...

      Third, Pac's book, who knows man, the dude might disclose some stuff with proper advisory. Usually the best selling books would be the truth... PAC would have to have completely terminated and benefits or connections to Top Rank to not suffer any future consequences. He's in the Phillipines. The USA has no jurisdiction except for any assets or debts, but only towards American soil...
      Of course this is all theory...but PAC sometimes comes off cool yet naive at the same time. He might one day in his books say Floyd schooled him or that Marquez was the better fighter. In the long run he has a whole future ahead of him: for him to be a future president could perhaps be better than his boxing career since as a person of God, his focus will be towards his people and he will be forgiven.

      Regarding Horn, this dude IMHO is in a world of Hurt if fighting other top 147 heads. I find Horn to be entertaining at the least. Everybody is going to go after that WBO its insane! I am geeked I want to see some PBC fighters take on Horn. On the real I'd live to see Matthysse have the shot at the WBO.

          I give him 100% full credit for being game as f**k. 100% full credit for an A+ effort. 100% credit for coming to fight. 100% credit for coming to win.

          But like the vast majority of the viewing public I thought Pacquiao won the fight.

            I Give him full credit for fighting the way you should fight a faded legend instead of playing safe when its the biggest fight of your career and all eyes are on you.

            He has a case of actually truly winning that fight

                I give him full credit to the max, it is a bit sad the way the boxing media try to downplay his victory, I thought the fight was close. He actually remind me of Ricky Hatton v Tsyzu, he didn't give Pacman any sort of respect, he was all over him and even Pac knew he had been in a fight. Maybe Pacman underestimate him, maybe not but he definitely made me a fan.
