    Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn UNANIMOUSLY beat Manny. Compare the performances.

    Keith Thurman at one point was #1 Welterweight in the World, WBC World Welterweight Champion, WBA World Welterweight Champion, ducked by Paulie, beat Porter, beat Danny, etc. Top of the list.

    He just lost - despite it being very close and competitive, he lost - got dropped in the FIRST round, shades of Amir Khan, damn near the same punch in the same corner for the same reason (leaning back).

    Took a body shot that turned him into a moving mannequin.
    Got beat on for FIVE ROUNDS straight.

    Manny Pacquiao made this guy look like a B+ player.

    Meanwhile...

    Horn was never dropped.
    Horn only got manhandled in TWO rounds.
    Horn never even took a clean body shot.

    And Horn faced a version of Manny TWO YEARS YOUNGER and fresher than the one we saw tonight, with the same lack of drug testing.

      Jeff Horn and Manny was a very close fight too. Horn's toughness and roughness is his superpower. Thurman is better but not as tough. Manny did great tonight but this fight was VERY close.

          Horn fouled the ish out of Pacquaio and got a hometown decision. Arum at the time seen that fight as a passing of the torch but it didn't work out. Tried the same thing with Pacquiao-Bradley. You are either in denial or have an agenda.

                Exactly what I was thinking during the fight but then again styles make fights. If I remember correctly, Horn got beaten up by Pac worse than Thurman.

                So, Thurman-Horn next for the fun of it, fellas?

                  You're still in denial, bro. Let's just face facts. Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn is and was tougher than Keef 'At One Time' Thurman. Period. And that was on display tonight.

                  There was none. Same as Keef. That's my point. PEDs didn't do Manny any good against Horn if he did use them. Or Horn is just too damn good to be stopped by PEDs. Either way, my point is, it's clear that Horn's performance against a FRESHER Manny was better than Thurman's. Which negates the theory that Horn is some bum - bums don't outperform Keith Thurman against legends.

                    How you figure? Horn wasn't dropped, Horn didn't go prone from a body shot. Thurman was WAY more wrecked
