    You guys gonna roast me but to me Crawford is in the case that GGG was pre Jacobs/Nelo fights.

    He's the boogey man of 140, a beast for sure, koing some solid fighters, but who Bud has beaten to make him a so obvious P4P KING or NEXT FLOYD?
    (like I said his best wins are Burns, Postol and Gamboa)

    He hasn't fought elite fighters, except maybe Gamboa, who was way smaller and was inactive...

    I need to see more about Bud, his amateur failures
    (never made it past the golden gloves) the lack of elite opposition in the pros, makes me wonder how he will react in superfights.

    140 was weak and you know that.

    I believe in Bud and I think his non success in ams was due to the fact that he's a slow starter.

    But I need to be convinced.

    And like I said, Horn is getting stopped, he got beaten by OG Manny lol so I can t see how he could dominate Bud.

      It seems like Horn is the kinda fighter who comes with a game plan at least A and B. Gatti was a warrior period

      Regarding Crawford, he isn't as good as Mayweather was, but I could be wrong.

      Crawford will beat Horn, but Horn with his size and tactics might spoil him quite a bit.
      I don't really see Horn as much of a technician or tactician. I think he's just sorta awkward (I still contend McGregor vs Horn would be a FOTY contender cuz it'd be so wild & crazy while it lasted). But yea he's a big 147lber & that could potentially pose problems for Crawford, but I don't think it will.

      Also if anyone thinks he'll be doing those MMA moves he was getting away with in Australia vs Manny you're in for a surprise. Horn will have lost 2 points by the 4 round if he tries that sh^t vs Crawford in the US.

        Naah, much than Gatti I said lol.
        Doesn't make him a boxing master lol

        My point is Horn is much more armed than Gatti but I could be wrong.



        Gatti was just horrible to watch, dude had so much bad habits it was frustrating to see him take beatings.

        He was the kinda guy who takes a beating even when he's winning all the rounds lol.

        You're right his fight vs Manny was a fluke with a home cooked ref and judging ect...

          If you've seen some of my past posts (in particular pre-Postol when one could argue I was damn near hostile over Crawford lol) you'll see I've slowly become a cat who appreciates what Bud has to offer boxing. And yea a lot of that is based on the lack of bigger name, threatening competition he's fought thus far in his career.

          But none of the unproven-ness with Bud will matter vs Horn. Bud isn't likely to be tested at 147 & in boxing for real til he fights the Spence vs Thurman winner & I kinda feel like Spence vs Thurman will need to happen before Bud gets a shot at either of them.

            Well, Crawford is really good, I can see it when he does shadow box, dude masters his craft.

            He's athletic, he has a lot to offer.

            That being said, I think 147 will be though for him, especially with Spence and Thurm, but Porter could give him a lot of problems.

            Horn will lose, but I guess he will a tougher fighter than Postol or any guys he fought at 140.

            Would Postol fight a competitive fight vs Manny I don't think so.

                " Horn-Crawford will look like Mayweather-Gatti"

                You really think Horn will out class Crawford so badly that Bud's corner will stop the fight vs the Horny One?

                      It won’t be that brutal of a one sided beatdown that was Floyd-gatti


                      Horn is very awkward and he will find some limited success early vs Crawford. But by the 3rd Crawford will have figured it out and carve him up.

                      This will be more like Floyd-hatton.. awkward, rough, white guy giving 100% effort, but lacking in the skills department and getting exploited down the stretch
                      I agree with this. I expect Crawford to beat the crap out of him, but it will look more like Floyd/Hatton than Floyd/Gatti,

                      I do think Crawford/manny, if it happens, will look like Floyd/Gatti.
