Comments Thread For: Veteran Judge: Horn Has No Real Talent, Pacquiao By KO in 3 To 4

[Mike D]

Im throwing ratings out the window and looking at the fighter, I have my own ratings when I watch a guy box, Jeff Horn is not very good, nowhere near this level.

Okay well I'll defer to you, I do know that you know your ****. Like I said I've never seen Horn for a single second. I've heard of him...even prior to the Pacquiao talk, but have never seen the dude in action. Guess I could look at Youtube clips.

I think you are wrong, one thing for sure is that Horn has a lot more skill than Katsidis ever had. Katsidis was a tough SOB but he went life and death with a past his best Willie Limond and his best performance was his ko loss to Casamayor who was probably past his best at that time also, he also fought well against Marquez. Name Katsidis best wins? Theres not much too list, I was a big fan of his but he didn't have a lot of good wins. Kevin Mitchell is probably his best! Horn is better or I should say will be better.

I agree that Michael wasn't ever elite level and he did lose all his really big fights (to accomplished fighters, let's not forget), but it's no bad thing to say that he was a gatekeeper, and a worthy one at that. If you couldn't get past Katsidis then you had no right facing the top boys. We'll see if young Geoffrey can make it as a solid gatekeeper, or maybe better.

That's just in the stands, if you set up seating on the field you'd get 140k, but you take a big chance with melbournes weather, the saying goes, 4 seasons in 1 day, if it is in Melbourne I will be there with bells on, **** fight but smart business by arum, he would sell out the MCG easily, fans would fly from all states to see pacquaio fight

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Stick a big tent up over the ring and we're ready to go. Where else they gonna have it? The Rod Laver Arena?

[BrometheusBob.]

They'd all beat him

I'd personally have been more receptive to Jeff Horn vs Sadam Ali as an undercard

[robbyheartbaby]

Where are these wins? Who has he beaten that's better than Crawford's best? Be specific please. Name names.

Check their records dude it's not hard, considering Horn was fighting the calibre of opponents he has been all within his first 17 fights, he must be admired to a degree. Crawford is a 2 weight champion and just defended his belt against John Molina in his last fight, and fought Henry Lundy before Postol.

I have checked their records. Name these fighters Horn has faced that you think are on par with Crawford's.

Jeff Horn can win this fight if he has loaded groves, and if they drug Manny Pacquiao by putting a sleeping pills in his drinks.

What the hell, so you have seen his record. The names are right there, you should be able to do that yourself, I make a brilliant point and you didn't even take that into account or mention that.

Yes that would be welcomed , I dont think Pac vs Horn would do anywhere near what they are putting out, nobody in Aus hardly knows of Jeff Horn, the other hot prospect Zac Dunn is probably more known.

Jeff Fenech was an Aussie sporting hero when he fought Azumha Nelson in Melbourne in an outdoor arena, Jeff was undefeated and was previously robbed against Nelson in a Las Vegas draw a year earlier, this was a revenge fight .

So you had the back end story and a lot off peeved Aussies for that decision against there boxing icon, the fight pulled 35k fans.

I think Mundine Green did only 30K and these two had more publicity for the media created grudge match than you can poke a stick at.

Jeff Horn vs Manny P with not get the figures they putting out presenting the fight too investors, somebody will get burned with what Arum and Manny want them to pay to stage the fight.

You cant just throw any Aus fighter in with a superstar and expect massive crowds, they got to be invested in the Aussie in a very big way and thats not the case Horn is pretty much unknown.

I've seen the names. They suck. Now all you need to do is explicitly state which of his wins you rate so highly.

It's not that difficult a cpncept to grasp.
