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.
