Would Thurman KO Horn in less rounds than Crawford did?

[STREET CLEANER]

Horn ain't beating anybody.

If Horn is such a chump then Thurman should have no trouble making the fight. Keith Thurman is a blowhard.

If Thurman looks worse against Horn than Crawford did, Thurman will no longer be able to say that Crawford doesn't deserve a unification fight.

In Crawford's first fight at 147, he stopped Horn in the 9th round and won a 147 title. Thurman said that Crawford's win over Horn wasn't impressive because Horn was barely a champion. Thurman also said that he could beat Horn with one eye and one arm.

If Thurman's next opponent was Horn, would he be able to stop Horn in less rounds than Crawford did?

if Crawfords next opponent was Lopez would he stop Lopez in less rounds than Thurman did?

I’m not sure how capable Thurman is of knock outs anymore. He offers virtually no pressure anymore and relies on traps against Lopez to score his big shots. Crawford’s application of pressure is underrated and he’s a completely different presence then Thurman. It’s just hard to imagine today’s Thurman ko’ing Horn.

Horn is a glorified chump who can only win in Australia

Yes, Crawford would definitely stop Lopez in 12 rounds or less.

Lopez was stopped by Canelo in 5 rounds and then Maidana in 6 rounds. I know that Canelo and Maidana both hit harder than Crawford, but Lopez was also stopped in 6 rounds by Andre Berto.

Lopez was dropped once in the 2nd round by Thurman, but was able to go all 12 rounds and finish the fight with a MD loss. At this point, Lopez has too many miles to last 12 rounds with Crawford.

This is a good post. Something you dont see often here.

The simple answer is yes.

Horn is big for the weight, and even crudely awkward in his style of coming forward, but he's still a welterweight. Thurman's power has been shown to be legit at the weight and nearly destructive if he can hit you with a blind shot. Crawford's power has yet to show that it's carried up to 147.

Horn gets walked on to a massive shot, after taking a beating, within 6.

But I think Horn is younger and fresher than the worn down Lopez that went 12 rounds with Thurman. Lopez has had three stoppages in his career, all by round 6, but Thurman couldn't stop him. Horn is taller and bigger than Keith, and I think Thurman would play it safe to a UD win.
