    Solid contender, but nothing really special.
    A bit overzealous with the head lunging though...
    if he's smart, and has careful match making he'll be able to manage to have a decent career[financially]

      I think tonight was more about how shot Manny is rather than how good Horn is but credit to him he did what he had too and fought his heart out.

        Awkward fighter that can cause trouble and make it frustrating for some of the top guys

        Think Sam Soliman, his fellow countryman

          The dude looked like David Lemueix in there size wise and skill wise, though a little bit faster.

            Honestly? Not that good. Anthony Mundine and Randall Bailey were right about him.

            The fact that he was able to hang in with Pacquiao says more about how far Pacquiao has fallen than how good Horn really is. I can't see him being competitive with anybody in the top at WW. He's tough, he can take a good punch, but doesn't offer much more.

              Lemieux is more conventional. He reminds me more of Soliman with how he moves, attacks and smothers. And Soliman fights were typically foul filled ugly fights too.

                Maybe top 15

                Not in top 10

                He would lose to spence, Thurman, Danny, porter, brook, Vargas, khan, bradley, lucas, lamont

                  I liken him to Chris Algieri - solid contender but not enough to beat Thurman or Garcia etc.

                    How hard does he hit? Couldn't really get a good gauge on hs power since he throws so awkwardly.
