Now before I starts I will say that Horn has jumped the cue to get a fight with Pac but....
Seems to me that Horn is being mostly dismissed based on the fact that none of you ever heard of him prior to the Pac fight being pushed.
Now imo the main reason he's never been heard of is because he's from Australia, which is on the other side of the world and doesn't have a great recent boxing tradition.
So as an experiment I looked for a similar US fighter and wondered if he also would be unknown and dismissed.
and the closest i found is Errol Spence.
Both were 2012 olympians.
both lost in the quarter finals
Both are undefeated after 20 odd fights
Both have beaten no one of significance
Both are about to step up for the first time
Horn has beaten 2 world champions to Spences 1.
good thread. they are both prospects who have accomplished absolutely nothing. noone knows how good either one of them is.
Too sad, they are both destined to lose in their upcoming world title fights :lol1:
Look, Im not saying Horn beats Spence either, Id definitely be backing Spence.
Wh I'm saying is Horn being an unknown is as much to do with him being Aussie as it does with him having beaten no one.
the fact is we don't know how good he really is yet.
What's the point of this thread then after this post lol. PAC shouldn't be fighting guys getting their first title shot.
Horn comes from a country that isn't known for having many good boxers. In spite of that Horn already has loss on his record coming very early in his pro career when he is being matched carefully. Spence is a much better fighter with a much better record.
Horn is a decent fighter, a top ranked welterweight, who cares what a bunch of hipster yanks thinks?
Am i excited for the fight? no, but Pacman has earned the right to fight whoever the hell he wants on this retirement world tour thing they got going on :boxing:
ill give you that.....neither has really done anything
except spence did stop algieri...now chris isnt great by any means...but neither pac or provo could stop him...and spence did....prov and pac are certainly rated fighters
one would say...that if you put a prime randall bailey in the ring against horn....90 percent of posters here would pick bailey....
id agree...neither guy has done much though....but spence appears to have legit pedigree and has flashed major skills in his rise

Bailey and Funeka held world titles.
That makes them world champions.
Funeka? Lmao! Dude I'm Funeka's countryman and I know Algieri would put an asswhooping on him. I went to watch Funeka a year or two ago and he got KTFO by some local bum who I aint never heard of before the fight, or after the fight. It was honestly embarassing coz I'm from the same tribe as he is and all of us were there to support him and thought he would put on a show for us.
If that is the best guy Horn has beat then I might as well call any local bum from South Africa to get in the ring with him.
Who the fuuck is Bailey?
none of that happened though.
This is just about how exposure distorts option.
the facts are
who has spence beaten ? no one ? Algeria ?
Who has Horn beaten ? no one ?
There not much difference other that one is American.
