Will Jeff Horn amount to much in boxing?

[mathed]

We all know that Jeff has a win over Pacquiao, and lost against Bud. Some would argue that Jeff can be considered among the greats of this new boxing era. Do you think Jeff Horn will amount to a lot in the sport? If we consider the welterweight division, it looks difficult that he will go far there.

They straight up robbed PAC against Horn. His corner was about to stop the fight in the 9th for crying out loud. Bud smoked him in his first fight at WW. Horn isn’t terrible, he’d beat Garcia, Khan, and give Porter hell.

Uh? Who Got damn it?

Horn is a tough gutsy fighter who will never reach his potential, mainly because he needs specialist training not available in Australia and because he is not sufficiently dedicated to boxing like he needs to be. His trainer is a motivator and not a rounded boxing trainer, the other day he was on again about Canello who is not even mentioned these days by Horn himself. His US trip to fight Crawford was a disaster at all levels, bunch of amateurs. Still he faced Brilliant Bud and fought until the end which is more than quite a few others can claim. It's pretty obvious too that he is being ducked simply because he could be problematical for all except the top tier irrespective of where any fight would take place.

it was the ref...not his corner men

His only claim is beating Pacman. He won that fight, fair and square. I rate Horn a C+ and an overachiever.

His 15 minutes were up long ago. A guy so unknown as Jeffy only get 1 gift per career.

Horn is from my hometown and I've trained with a guy who used to go train with him, we don't have many world champs so he is the hometown hero for sure.

With that said, any talk of him being considered a modern great/HOF etc is batshlt crazy.
Mundine was 43 and a great self promoter, plus widely hated so that fight did pretty well financially, but again Mundine was 43, way past his best.

TBH I think Pac would beat him in a rematch.

10000000% Pac was robbed. After than blatant robbery, I wondered if judges have to be at ringside ????

Wouldn't it be better if they were in 3 separate rooms with big assed monitors and TiVo where they can replay a moment between rounds ?

They cry about not having the best viewing areas, well, my set up would correct that on going dilemma.

I can't disagree with you more on Jeffy beating Swift (maybe he could beat Mikey), Khan OR Porter.

Jeffy is too damn basic. People with any amount of talent will have him figured out in the 2nd rd.

[Roadblock]

He has pretty much run his race in the big league, he needs a couple of top 10 wins to stay relevant.

A measuring stick would be Brook at 154.

If Jeffy can't beat Brook at 154, we've already seen the best of him. 1 fluky ''win'' per career.
