I mean technically nobody at this level is a bum but pac man should have just fought my man Lamont Peterson or something.Comment

Decent amaetuer, beaten some decent names albeit faded and old guy's.
Decent skills, fast hands, main weapon is his right hand witch carries substantial power.
I have only seen 3 of his fights though..

He really isn't a bad fighter in all honesty. He seems to be able to crack well, goes to the body. For what it is worth, he took ancient Randall Bailey's best shot and recovered well.
The problem is that he is prospect level, not really ready for this kind of fight. He has a puncher's chance, but I don't think he has the speed or skill to hang if Pac has anything left.Comment

Boxrec ranks all the pro boxers in the world. If there are 4 thousand pro welterweights in the world they rank them all from best to worse. Horn has never fought anybody they rank in the top 50 welterweights. In other words he has never defeated a good welterweight. Those guys he is blasting out are not very good and miles away from being top 15 welterweights. Pacquiao will be a giant step up in class.Comment

This is what puzzles me about the sanctioning bodies and how they rank fighters. I still don't know how WBO and IBF ranks Jeff Horn at #2. There has to be some promoter/manager pay offs going on when I look at certain rankings over the years and how they establish mandatories. Look at WBC insisting that Stiverne is a mandatory for Wilder. How is that even possible?
Biggest disappointment was when Spence was calling out Brook before and after the Algieri fight.
Brook was very much available and just dismantled Bizier a week or so ago without any scratches. Out of the blue, those IBF clowns assigned Bundu to Spence, instead of Brook. Fast forward Brook/Spence was mandated eventually but with Brook with an injured eye resulting from the Golovkin fight which should not have happened had these IBF clowns proceeded to the Spence/Brook fight right away.Comment

Everyone looks great in highlights. That's why they're called "highlights." Horn isn't beating Pacquiao and changing your minds about Horn won't make a difference in the outcome.Comment
