I do know actually, read my comment above, former 3 time, 2 division world champion Randall Bailey. He was ranked No.10 by the WBO at 147 when they fought. Ahmed El Mousaoui is currently rated No.10 by the IBF at 147 and was higher when Horn knocked him out. Viktor Plotnykov was rated No.13 by the WBO when they fought. Randall Bailey was WELL past it but the other fighters he has faced were young, most importantly RANKED in the top 15 of a sanctioning body and hungry. Dude I know my s*** trust me.Comment

Bailey is shot and been around since early FM days, Funeka is a C grade over the hill LW, the rest of his resume are worse than them and one of his fights was a draw.I do know actually, read my comment above, former 3 time, 2 division world champion Randall Bailey.

Buddy you got stars in your eyes, Horn is not near ready for this class, you place wayyyyyyyy to much emphasis on ranking, lots and lots of bums in the 3-4 world boxing associations are ranked top 20 .
The eye test tells you more about a fighter than any rankings .Comment

Dude I agree with you, Horn will get creamed, but people keep screaming out about how he got ranked so highly and he did it by strategically fighting guys ranked in the top 15. Surely some merit must be given to that. If Chris Algieri got the chance to fight Manny on the back of a loss to Provodnikov (Let's face it he lost) Surely Horns ranking at number 2 is enough to justify a chance at the WBO championship?Bailey is shot and been around since early FM days, Funeka is a C grade over the hill LW, the rest of his resume are worse than them and one of his fights was a draw.

Certified bums or not, they were still fighters in the TOP 15 in one of the 4 major sanctioning bodes. I'm not saying I like the match up but he deserves to be No.2 with the WBO at 147.Comment
