    ... yes, he was... therefore I can't see why Rocky Marciano is in this conversation...

      He lives on an Island separated from the rest of the world. Kangaroos and outbacks. Big fish little pond.

        I hope Rushton is just selling the fight and doesn't believe all this crap. I hope he is ready to throw in the towel if necessary.

          That island is bigger than the USA and has a population of New York, Im an Aussie and many times have been to the US we have so much space and non population they don't call Aus the lucky country for nothing, maybe they mean lucky as in crooked decisions lol.

          I see TC chopping Horn down, but remember When Floyd fought Hatton and Rickys bum rushing made it messy and looking like he was in the fight for a few rounds until Floyd got that little bit of space and it was all over, that's how I see this as Horn will bum rush him and try and be physical and it will be messy early then TC will start teeing off getting a stoppage win mid to late rounds.

          Aussies are very tough Horn will give all he has but I doubt it will be enough at this level.

            If Cortez were the ref in this one, there would be no reason for Horn to even show up.
            If Weeks had been the ref for Hatton/Mayweather the fight would have at least been competitive for awhile.

              Don't really honor that comparison. Marciano had a crazy skill set. Not to take anything away from Horn (whom I think will lose this fight), but Rocky and Jeff will never be equals.

                Same result didn't matter who reffed it, and bum rushing is just a fear response Rickys own corner was screaming for him to give himself some room and stop smothering himself but he knew Floyd would take him apart, watch the fight Hattons corner talk says it all.

                  It's bad enough to have to read all this Jeff Horn boxing prowess nonsense, but to have an ought right false statement about the size of Australia compared to the USA posted as a correct fact is just too much. The USA is larger than Australia - even discounting the Great Lakes. That's the contiguous states and with Alaska, it is even bigger.
                  "Australia is the planet's sixth largest country after Russia, Canada, China, the USA, and Brazil. At 7 692 024 km2, it accounts for just five percent of the world's land area of 149 450 000 km2, and although it is the smallest continental land mass, it is the world's largest island."

                    Ah ok a school lesson , Aus is huge and nearly as big in land mass but has the population of the worlds largest single cities which is amazing , its a great country.

                    Now settle down child I don't think Horn has a chance of winning.

                      Yes, Australia is amazing. There is no doubt about that. I haven't been there; however, my kids love it (and want to return time and again).
