2 years ago... Mayweather even warned Crawford when he beat Gamboa... that he should be careful if he faced Manny coz of Manny's size, speed and strength that time.

I don't buy that yet, Crawford just beat a bum, remember ?

He still has to face the other welterweights, and that includes the old Pacman. However, Koncz said they don't want anything to do with Crawford due to his style. Well, Spence, Thurman, Porter are still there. I would like to see Bradley come back too.

Like what I've said. Horn did not beat Pacman. Arum tried to sell to boxing fans a fake champ who is not a real boxer.

I agree here too, I'm with the rest of the world who thought Pacman should have won. Also, styles make fights, like the bum Sultan made Ancajas look bad, the same with bum Horn making Pacman not look so good.
I think Matthysse will make Pacman look good, unless he gets super old overnight and loses.

I read somewhere Koncz doesn't think Crawford's style suits the Pacman style. What he really means is Pacman will lose lol. After getting KO'ed by JMM, Pacman has become a boxer, the intangible attack mode is gone since he fears getting knocked out again.

Remember what many fight fans said about the judges?

Pacman will probably not fight young welters due to age difference. Pac is close to 40 years old now. The remaining fights he has will be for exhibition only. It is OK to pick them at his age. Matthysse is still a dangerous exhibition match up.

Pacman well beat Crawford in The Philippine Arena

LOL at Horn... Unfortunately for him, he's not in Australia with the corruptly paid incompetent officials during his Pacquiao fight... Horn should take the rematch against Pacquiao this November in the Philippines...

Pacquiao should avoid Crawford (and Spence)...

As for Crawford, he should fight Spence, Thurman or the winner of D. Garcia-Porter next... Or he should move up to 154 and again fight the weakest link champions Castaño or Munguia...

I think the Crawford vs. Lomachenko or M. Garcia are now impossible...

mas maganda iyong game plan ni crawford dahil pag suntok nya mabibilis syang umaalis/umaatras
si horn pag bato nya ng suntok mabilis naatrasan ni crawford at mas maganda ang positioning nya.
stiff jab ang tatalo kay crawford hindi iyong mga suntok na maluluwag. doon nya nadaddali mga kalaban nya. si mikey malaki chance nya manalo kay crawford.

The limelight would never last when you don't deserve it ! For sure Jeff Horn learned a lesson here. Now he realizes that it is different playing in an even field where he could not execute his dirty tricks same as when he fights in his homeland backed up with loud cheers from his countrymen approving his illegal antics. On the other hand, It is somewhat hard to judge how will the new super star Terrence Crawford would react if he was fighting Horn in Australia with all these bias not in his favor the same Pacquiao had experienced??? Could Terrence withstand furious bleeding caused by head buts, locks and elbows?? It is a fact and I agree that Terrence Crawford is highly skilled who is still on his prime makes the difference but I still respect the aging Manny Pacquiao for his boldness maintaining his fighting spirit throughout that unfair judged fight in which the Ref. just ignored and allowed Horn not to follow the true boxing rules. I guess, this makes the story clear in fairness....

He didn’t beat Manny. I thought Manny was over confident and found too late that Horn was playing dirty, aggressive and did almost TKO him but couldn’t follow it up. Thus the bad decision helped by the incompetent American referee and the rest was history

Crawford had just shown to the boxing world and to Pacquiao how to easily beat such a mediocre fighter in Horn

Well, Bradley did the same vs. JMM and Rios... So did Khan and Spence vs. Algieri...
