I know alot of NSB posters love it when a fighter moves up.
Horn moved up 2 weight classes "daring to be great", just the same as the King Canelo.
Horn didn't look to good and gets k/od yet he does exactly what AJ done and rematched straight away.
The only difference being Horn didn't box like a scared man he fought like a warrior.
Earning the fight in a war.
So why all the hate for Jeff "Hornet" Horn?
He's doing everything that most boxing fans love to watch.

He's doing everything that most boxing fans love to watch.He is a brave determined boxer who came right back to be the guy who gave him a bad beating. I just don't like him. He has a dirty ugly fighting style and he brags too much. If you like him then enjoy him because his latest revenge win will probably get him big fights. I don't think he is very good at the top level but he comes to fight and is fearless.
I know some of the names of the fighters you are talking about, not all of them because I have only recently got into boxing.
I will definitely try and look these guys up.
One thing though you don't consider Kostya an Australian?
Or you don't count him world class?
Just interested in why you left out Kostya is all.
Truth be known, Barry Michael and Lester Ellis we’re both born in england
Because the only reason most people know his name was via an outlandish robbery..which he then went on to get obnoxious over and killed whatever he might’ve gained from it. If he had shut the fk and walked off with his win he might be in better standing.
Most of the Horn hate comes from Manny lovers and their conspiracy theory that some how Horn rigged their fight. It makes no sense but it doesn't have to in their eyes, the mere fact that Manny was beaten in a close fight is enough to trigger them eg Maywaeather.
As for Horn's ability, if he was US based and received world class training then he would be right up there but his active defence is rubbish for a start, he is a blunt instrument and a very effective one considering his lack of finesse.
It was a great battle, we are renowned for them like Lester Ellis vs Barry Michaels, those had wars, take a look at Barry Michaels vs Earthquake Carter, Michaels vs Ropis, lester vs Rod Sequenan, real battles all of them, Im not knocking Horns or Zerafas heart, they just dont have that ability they need at top level, when you consider we have something like 200 licensed boxers across the entire country its rare we get a star quality guy, Id say Fenech was the last Aussie to make it big.
The hate seems the in thing today, I dont mind criticism with something behind it but some fans just gotta really hate on them, you can be logically negative without hating.

I respect your opinion but it seems Zerafa had more dog in him than either Ruiz or Kov.
Horn fought this dude toe to toe yet people hate him for it.
I don't understand the hate for him.

Too be great, against Zerafa, come on now.
Im an Aussie I see Horn as a B+ grade, the typical Aussie that makes it to WTs is a tough battler and generally crude, we have a long list of hard as nails tough battlers that won a WT we are game like Mexicans but they can fight better lol , and we have a very short list of elite fighters on the world stage, Jeff is not one of them, looking back I would bet on Troy Waters , Hector Thompson, Tony Mundine to stop him, even Baby Cassius Andy Broome would touch him up.

Why did he not rematch Crawford?
He wanted it.
He asked for Bud to come to Australia for that fight but Bud did not want it.
Considering Horn went to Vegas to fight Bud he should have been willing to do the same.
