Horn is a legitimate threat

[McNulty]

lets bet right now..PLEASE!!!!

I'll wager some points on Horn winning a decision against Crawford.

He fights like he has down syndrome.

You don't see any paralells with his style and Pacquiao's style?

What makes or made Manny Pacquiao special?

Ok he's got some power, good hand speed, pretty tough, southpaw --- but none of those attributes make him special.

What makes Pacquiao special is his tempo and the offbeat rhythm of his timing. He'll shuffle back and throw some weird áss angle uppercut with enough beef on it to rattle your brains. Even though I despise Pacquiao, he does have champion qualities.

Horn has odd timing as well. He throws combinations in weird positons and unexpected places. Offbeat and awkward Boxers are naturally difficult even if they're overall B-Level in skill. You end up spending half the fight adjusting to them.

You're going to tell me this isn't right out of Pacquiao's playbook?

This right hand lead is unique in the sense that nobody bobs and weaves out that way. RJJ throws that same punch (lol) but will weave right not left.This is what I'm talking about how he's putting himself in unexpected places.

I think Jeff Horny is better than people think.

No. Maybe the earliest, crudest forum of Pac. But, Horn has none of the athleticism or grace of motion of even that early Pac. I honestly thought you were joking in the above post. Even in those gifs, I see a guy whose arms are flailing, chin is out, and is violating all fundamentals. A guy like Crawford will simply murder a clown who doesn't keep his free hand up to protect his chin, or hunches his upper-body so far over his center.

If you honestly think you see some level of technique in Horn, I'll respectfully agree to disagree and we can leave it at that.

[SN!PER]

Horn is a legitimate threat... to himself.

He may become the first champion to trip over his own feet during a fight.

You’re dumber than I thought

[wlad1111]

Crawford will knock him out, it won't be close.

[Damn Wicked]

OP is right. Horn is WAY better than most people give him credit for but his athleticism isn't nearly as good as Pacquiao's. However, he is much bigger, stronger and younger than Pacquaio. I also think he is a fairly intelligent fighter with lots of heart...He will be a tough opponent for most of the top guys.

[Cheek busting]

I think his footwork is pretty good.



You laugh now Larry so lets pick this back up after the Crawford fight.

You're right - it is pretty good.

He doesn't have the natural dexterity of a Pacquiao, though, that allows him to shoot in and out at lightening speeds, and come in at awkward angles.

He does have a very good understanding of distance, and he manipulates this very well with his footwork.
