    Are people trolling about Horn's "greatness"?

    I couldn't tell before the Manny fight and I can't tell now. People are on here saying he's the next big thing and he's up there with Thurman and Spence.

    The guy is mediocre. He's not getting through Thurman or Spence and he's not gonna be the next big thing. He got lucky in many ways this past weekend.

    He will lose the next time he steps up including if Manny decides to exercise his rematch clause.

    If you are trolling then carry on. But if not, then you should probably stop this pointless build up before you find yourself disappointed in just how lackluster Horn really is.

    It's difficult to accurately gauge where he truly sits p4p right now, since his good wins came from past prime fighters, either pac was as good as last years and horn managed to beat that guy, or pac is really shot thats why horn hanged in there with him.
    We will see in the future fights.
    There also a huge chance he'd beat pac again in the rematch. Pac is just gonna get even older, while horn probably stronger and even more confident now on the big stage. And some of the criticism would be use as extra motivation to even double his efforts the next time around.

    Thought it was a close fight, and horn looked like the commanding, consistent and stronger fighter other than round 8, 9
    Thats why judges sided with him

      Obviously, he doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Pac is over the hill and not even a WW size wise.

      Horn showed some guts but dude is sloppy, he doesn't look like an elite fighter IMO.

        He's 29 years old and a fringe Welterweight contender. I see nothing in him to suggest he beats any of the legit top Welterweights out there. Top Rank see an opportunity to squeeze money out of a particular market, that's all. They will keep it all in-house and have him defend his paper title. He's probably not even top 50 P4P. He just fought an old/PEDless Pacquiao at the right time.

            To be honest, we really dont know how good Horn can be. He beat an old PacMan but IMO he did do what bigger much more durable/proven fighters couldnt and that was bully the PacMan. If Horn wins a re-match more decisively than I think as fans we owe the Horny Hornet more respect.

              I don't see nobody over hyping him but credit is due because most of us thought he would get destroyed and he end up putting up one hell of a fight. Kinda what happens when you overlook and guy and laugh at him leading up to this fight and he comes out and do better than anybody expected even Australians

                People just like to troll. We all know this guy isn't that skilled. By this time next year Horn will be just another former champion.
