2015 Mayweather vs 2017 Jeff Horn

[GrandpaBernard]

can the Horn who fought pacquiao use his size to effectively pressure Floyd

Fighters with a size advantage who apply pressure have historically done well against Floyd. Castillo, Cotto, Maidana, etc.

How do you see this fight going.

Your choice of Floyd from the pacquiao or Berto fight vs Horn who fought manny

[OCPancho]

It would have been a hugfest and a lacefest .

[BLASTER1]

I want to say Horn would maul him and treat him like a school kid but I think May had too much of an armoury to let that happen.
Oh and plus the ring experience/IQ.

what's lacefest?

You think so?

A huge offensive gap between Mayweather and manny is that Floyd is very effective on the inside unlike his good friend pacquiao

Mayweather is too technically-correct/accurate, and too good at establishing the perimeter... for a guy like Horn

that is why Crawford easily dismantled Horn

Mayweather would immediately turn that fight into boxing match... just like he did with Mosley

you mentioned Castillo, Cotto, Maidana...

Mayweather intentionally fought Cotto flat-footed

go check

same with Maidana... in the first fight, flat-footed... in the rematch, boxing on his toes

check both of those fights

Castillo and Maidana, in the rematches... got what Mosley got, which is what Horn would get

[Richard G]

Well Horn is now a middleweight but other than that he does not have the ring IQ of the top few like Mayweather and Crawford, those two and perhaps Packy on a good day, are a step above any contender. I get the impression that most fans do not realise how damn good those two are, how their practice of the sweet science is above and beyond.

[Damn Wicked]

It would have been a good fight. Horn would have forced the fight with constant pressure all night. I would bet that it would be a very tough night for Mayweather , win or lose.

First the fight was a robbery and Pac won by a mile. nd Horn was allowed to fight dirty as hell without any warnings and he could not fight that way anyplace else in the world. #rd Mayweather is bigger and stronger than Pac and can fight just as dirty as Horn if need be. Horn would not have a chance of beating Mayweather anywhere but in Australia.

You're the type of fan who watches Mayweather knockdown compilations on repeat

I’m happy someone mentioned this.

For reasons unknown to me, Floyd started fighting cleaner in his final couple fights.

I was surprised Floyd didn’t pull out the works on manny who is inexperienced at dirty boxing
