    Horn's destiny is the classroom and never in the ring. He can also be a good kangaroo trainer for exhibition against humans IMO.

      Exactly! I hate it when fighters do this! Nobody is ever 100% going into a fight.. they sound so weak and ****** making excuses afterwards.

        He's made over $5 million in the last couple of years.

        He doesn't need the classroom.

          Maybe Horn and Revelated can hang together and talk excuses
          Revelated has made countless threads filled with lame ass excuses about his girlfriend Horn

            The best suggestion I've heard is that Horn should do a mini tour of the best US gyms for an assessment and then decide his future. He is tough and courageous so it would be a pity to lose him from the international scene, just look at that pounding Zerafa gave him near the end yet he still wanted to continue.

            But unfortunately I think that he will retire, after being on the world stage I can't see him wanting to go back to penny local fights plus he is too old to start again.

              ...someone he already beat twice. Then he beat Vargas and lost to Horn. It's a bogus label in this circumstance

              And Teddy Atlas says a lot of things...

              Yes he was. Pac is the first and only fighter in the history of boxing who is credited with lineal championships in 5 different weight classes (flyweight, featherweight, super featherweight, light welterweight and welterweight). He's also the first and only 8-division world boxing champion, boxer of the decade and 3-time boxer of the year.

              In professional boxing, the lineal championship of a weight class is a theoretical world championship title. It is initially held at some moment in time by a boxer universally acclaimed as the best in the class. Another boxer can win the lineal championship only by defeating the reigning lineal champion in the ring. The lineal champion is described as "the man who beat the man".[1][2] There is no single canonical list of lineal champions at any weight class, because there is no agreed method...

                But how does that work? He beat the lineal and didn't become the new lineal? Who decided that?

                The powers that be didn't think Horn beat Pac fair and square with his dirty tactics, 3 corrupt judges and referee. Otherwise, they would have given it to him.

                  Horn has the raw talent to be great but has not received world class training and coaching, is in too much of a comfort zone and is too distracted by family.
                  Horseshyte! The only thing Horn has ever had going for him was being born on Australian soil and that's the only way he got the nod over Manny (complete robbery).

                  Horn has good tenacity but no talent at all.

                    He's tough and courageous, I give him that, but no offense, he has no future in professional boxing, he's already been exposed, he could try MMA where he could use elbows and headlocks and maybe headbutts too if it's allowed.

Anyone can dispute the decision and dream up all sorts of excuses but that counts for nothing so enjoy Horn's defeat because Horn will enjoy his defeat of Packy for a lifetime and enjoy the results too, something none of you will ever do. Horn took Packy's money LOL.
                      Old age brings out the reality in people. Horn will likely admit to himself that his win was as crooked as a dogs hind leg.

                      Took Pacs money? You buffoon, Pac made 10 million while Horn made 500k
