Is Jeff Horn a huge draw for his actual talent level?

[Eddy Current]

It seems like Jeff Horn has made a decent name for himself despite not being on the level of the top boxers. He must be doing something right if they're bringing him up as a challenger for a secondary MW title on ESPN?

All he's done is fight and 'beat' Pacquaio in Australia. That alone makes him big over there and makes him a name worldwide. It's not that he's done anything right or wrong. He's just been blessed with that life changing fight.

the whole boxing world knows Horn didn't come close to beating Pac. The only thing Horn has done right is being born on Australian soil. That got him the Pac decision and the only way he makes real money is to fight there. His opposition has to decide if the money is worth the risk of another horrible home town decision. I hope Brant beats him up and knocks him cold.

What the hell was with ESPN trying to drum up a fight with Brant-Horn. Although, I dont mind these Australian fights on ESPN+ for a little morning boxing

Horn is a very dirty fighter when the ref lets him get away with illegal tactics. I doubt he deserved to win any rounds in the Pacquiao fight and he won no rounds against Crawford. He has very little boxing skills. He is slow and never heard of a combination. He throws one or two punches to get him close enough to grab his opponent and hold him so he can actually hit him. He is a hold and hit mauling boxer who I think is horrible to watch. Lot's of mediocre fighters like Horn get title shots these days. If he is fighting anybody good and the fight is not in Australia he will lose.

He beat Pacquiao so he must not be that bad. If you want to look at someone who is a much more disproportionate draw compared to their talent level than look at Broner, not Horn.

[Clegg]

He's not even a huge draw, they needed the government to help raise the money to get Pac over there, and his last fight was just the latest Mundine farce. He's not a big enough name to be able to pay any top name to travel over there.

[boliodogs]

He sure doesn't deserve a shot at Brant's title but I wouldn't mind that fight. Brant would slaughter Horn and humiliate him to the point where Horn might consider retiring from boxing.

[Bullrider]

He's supposed to be a huge draw in Australia. That's where he was born and raised. He thinks he can beat everybody.

[deathofaclown]

Well, he's probably a decent draw in Australia because he beat Pac and there's not exactly a depth of talent there
