    Why the HORNET is the real deal.

    I know alot of NSB posters love it when a fighter moves up.
    Horn moved up 2 weight classes "daring to be great", just the same as the King Canelo.

    Horn didn't look to good and gets k/od yet he does exactly what AJ done and rematched straight away.
    The only difference being Horn didn't box like a scared man he fought like a warrior.
    Earning the fight in a war.

    So why all the hate for Jeff "Hornet" Horn?
    He's doing everything that most boxing fans love to watch.

    Understand, if Horn had never beaten Manny, he would be on NSB's 'eye test' Top 5 P4P.

      Why did he not rematch Crawford?

        He wanted it.
        He asked for Bud to come to Australia for that fight but Bud did not want it.
        Considering Horn went to Vegas to fight Bud he should have been willing to do the same.

          Too be great, against Zerafa, come on now.

          Im an Aussie I see Horn as a B+ grade, the typical Aussie that makes it to WTs is a tough battler and generally crude, we have a long list of hard as nails tough battlers that won a WT we are game like Mexicans but they can fight better lol , and we have a very short list of elite fighters on the world stage, Jeff is not one of them, looking back I would bet on Troy Waters , Hector Thompson, Tony Mundine to stop him, even Baby Cassius Andy Broome would touch him up.

            I respect your opinion but it seems Zerafa had more dog in him than either Ruiz or Kov.
            Horn fought this dude toe to toe yet people hate him for it.
            I don't understand the hate for him.

              It was a great battle, we are renowned for them like Lester Ellis vs Barry Michaels, those had wars, take a look at Barry Michaels vs Earthquake Carter, Michaels vs Ropis, lester vs Rod Sequenan, real battles all of them, Im not knocking Horns or Zerafas heart, they just dont have that ability they need at top level, when you consider we have something like 200 licensed boxers across the entire country its rare we get a star quality guy, Id say Fenech was the last Aussie to make it big.

              The hate seems the in thing today, I dont mind criticism with something behind it but some fans just gotta really hate on them, you can be logically negative without hating.

                    I know some of the names of the fighters you are talking about, not all of them because I have only recently got into boxing.
                    I will definitely try and look these guys up.
                    One thing though you don't consider Kostya an Australian?
                    Or you don't count him world class?
                    Just interested in why you left out Kostya is all.
