Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn Could Possibly Land in Brisbane

At this point im rooting for horn.





Lol kind of a whackass name even compared to joe smith

Let's just see if the fight gets made I'm rooting for Horn also, just for the fun of it. But SMH at bob Arum, he could've make a Kell Brook fight in April, yet he chooses a no name.

If this is just a stay busy fight for Pacquiao I'm alright for it, but...jeff horn. Who the hell is that guy?

I thought Pacman was saying he only had a couple more fights in him so I was hoping he'd be going out in flames. I mean, Jessie Vargas and Jack, Jim or is it Jeff Horn doesn't really do much for his legacy except adding another alphabet title triumph and 2 more Ws on his record. Crawford or even Danny G would have been far better.

Arum picked the fight. He is probably testing if Manny still has it against Horn, then if he finally sees manny is shot to the point he can't win, he'll put the fight and give him 20 mil.

Jeff who, nobody knows him in Australia. Even Bobby Boxrite Mayne I'm sure doesn't know him.

December 30, 2016:

On if the time is right to take a fight against Terence Crawford:

"He's big enough [of a name]...he will definitely be on the table and he is a Top Rank fighter so it's a fight Bob [Arum] can make pretty easily I feel. It's a tough fight. Ray Beltran did well with him and he seems like he's getting better, he can move for 12 rounds, he has great legs and he's a bit of a puncher and I think he's like a young Mayweather but he probably has a better punch than Mayweather...

"It's not an easy fight. It's a tough fight, yes, but it's one that we have to say yes to if that's the only thing out there because we don't wanna just be fighting nobodies and so forth to stay in the game. We still want to be the best...if you can't be the best in something, or if you have no dream of winning another world title, you don't need to be in this sport because you'll get hurt."

If Manny ducks TC it's a bad look. Fair enough if he wants to retire. But if he stays active and avoids a guy like Crawford he's going to be criticised for it. Especially when he's still capable of beating top 10 guys like he did last year. It would be different if he was shot to pieces.

This is typical....more cherrypicking #48, Jesse Vargas was an atrocity and this is even worse.

Best athletes don't choose to play afl or cricket either

Which is all Australians are good at.

New Zealand are a good sporting nation, Australia arent

You're obviously trolling so I wont bore the forum with a list of great Australian sportspeople

However, I will highlight reality in today's world

The parents of elite junior sportspeople are bombarded with approaches from professional sporting codes dangling carrots such as full scholarships to very expensive private schools from the age of 12 or younger

My son is on one from an AFL club

If you think that parents such as me would knock an opportunity like that back for boxing then you are seriously deluded

[Tomjas]

I'm not american.

American athletes are the weakest. Australian not much better.

No Australian can compete with the strong, dominant, physically superior European man.

"European"

bwuhahahahahahaha

You ***** have Australia and NZ on speed-dial in case of trouble

Q: How many Europeans does it take to win a war?

A: Nobody knows as you have never won one

Without us, your national language would be Japanese dip**** and now your begging us to intervene in case they change it to Arabic

I stated a couple days ago that the Vargas fight was an embarrassment, today I state that there hasn't been a word created for how bad this is..And I get that Pacnuts is a legend he can pick and choose and blah blah, but this 🎷 kid is a domestic Aussie fighter, I don't even think he is as good as Katsidis was in his prime..with the added fact that pacnuts is still arguably the number 1 WW (because the 🐐 is retired)in the 🌎 and fighting at pretty high level, this is a spit in the face of pac fans (which I am not)..This is ridiculous..no way not even the biggest pacnut hugger can defend a fight against 🎷.
