    Right, you know, speaking of Horn's win over Pac, I think that was one of the most dirtiest performances I have ever seen from a fighter.
    Derrick Gainer vs. Freddie Norwood.


    To the rest of you, let's not forget his resume better than Crawford who you consider P4P.

    Mundine - future HOF'er, knocked out

    Pacquiao - regardless of whether you think it was dirty, the AMERICAN ref allowed it, it counts. UNANIMOUSLY beaten, agreed by 6 out 8 independent judges worldwide

    Randall Bailey - most dangerous puncher, stopped

    Ali Funeka - who beat a prime Zahir Raheem, the guy that beat a prime Erik Morales who was fresh off beating a prime Manny Pacquiao

    Tim Bradley - forfeit, he's on record saying that Horn's beating of Manny made him decide to retire


    SMOKES Crawford's record and no asterisks, no low blow stoppages. SMOKES Spence's record too.

    Your 'eye test' fighters can't touch the man's resume. That's why I like him. I care about who you beat, period.

      Right, but fair and square? That is really debatable man. Horn was super dirty in that fight, might as well have been an MMA fighter in there man.
      I hear ya, bro. But it's fighting, not dancing. No fighter should complain about another being dirty. Learn how to neutralize dirty fighting instead.

        Which ironically, Crawford did. So why does Manny get a pass?

          What we NEED to consider is that Horn only lost to Crawford, who never really hurt him and had him fall victim to a trigger ref, then had Crawford duck a rematch. Proceeded to put legendary fighter Anthony Mundine to sleep.

          Among the greats of the era? Well, if you use Manny Pacquiao as the measuring stick, who's beat Manny in the current era?

          Floyd Mayweather - Future HOF'er
          Tim Bradley - Future HOF'er
          Erik Morales - HOF'er
          Jeff Horn

          A case can be made for Horn to be a future HOF'er with who's he beaten. Problem is fighters are ducking him because of his rough style. Nobody's sure they can beat the guy even despite the Crawford loss, because they saw that the Crawford loss had an asterisk.

          I still want to see Horn in there against guys like Chino, Porter, etc.

          He's doing that thing he does again!

            Exactly. I don't think Crawford complained about Horn's dirty tactics even once.
