    Most of the Horn hate comes from Manny lovers and their conspiracy theory that some how Horn rigged their fight. It makes no sense but it doesn't have to in their eyes, the mere fact that Manny was beaten in a close fight is enough to trigger them eg Maywaeather.

    As for Horn's ability, if he was US based and received world class training then he would be right up there but his active defence is rubbish for a start, he is a blunt instrument and a very effective one considering his lack of finesse.

      Because the only reason most people know his name was via an outlandish robbery..which he then went on to get obnoxious over and killed whatever he might’ve gained from it. If he had shut the fk and walked off with his win he might be in better standing.

          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.
          Truth be known, Barry Michael and Lester Ellis we’re both born in england

                True but what's the relevance?

                  Jeff's career in as few words as possible -
                  2 credible opponents. Battered in both fights. Somehow ''won'' 1.

                  Wins the Gomer Pyle Award for overachieving (not as prestigious as the 15 Min Of Fame Award).
