    Horn has no skills. They should feed him to Spence as a warm-up.

    Uh no...Berto likely beats Horn head to head, Berto had fought way better competition than this guy and accomplished more. Not saying it was a great fight for Floyd either...but this Pac/Horn shyt is a farce....call a spade a spade

    I agree with most you say. However Pac is on his downside of his illustrious career, plus don't look at this with the American glasses, there are worlds outside the ole USA you know. Nobody outside America knows berto, and nobody outside Aus knows horn.

    Oh dear.

    But seriously, I really was hardly talking him up given I made it clear I view it as a mismatch - as others have said though, Pac hasn't got much to prove and has still been fighting at the elite level... a soft fight doesn't seem like a terrible idea right now and Horn doesn't deserve as much flack as he's getting in his own right.

    Horn is Australian, as we are few and far between any decent boxers.... Horn is rated highly .....by us anyway LOL. He is awkward and has a good punch. Our best were Kostya Tszyu who is a HOF and top ten all time JWW( I know he was a Russian but his entire professional career was out of Aus with an Aus trainer), Fenech ( a dead set multiple world champ and warrior), Green 3 division titlest ( did well as a with limited skill set ) Mundine ( ex-rugby player turn boxer ) was a pretty good super mid and won a few titles. Lionel Rose, Daniel Geale, Shannon Taylor, Sam Soliman..... No we do not produce that many stars in the ring but we do ok. We do however take a huge interest when a good Aus fighter gets a superstar onto our shores. Green v Jones jr did well here, Mundine v Mosely did well here, Pac v Horne will be huge ........here, I doubt much interest elsewhere will occur though

    Even Horn's promoter thinks you are crazy.

    It's worst than Berto -Mayweather, it's borderline worst than the ghost vs Floyd. Stop trying to hype a fight you know is trash call a spade a spade. I'm more interested in if Chavez can make weight for Canelo than I am for Pacquiao vs Horn. In fact I'll be streaming it at a local bar from my laptop, to there tvs if Pacman fights him

    Exactly, if this fight is taking place in America, I will crap on it too. But it is in the other fighter's hometown. More champions should do this.

    Horn seriously would lose to guys like Berto, Algerie, Guerrero and probably Paulie Malinaggi.

    Paq might be a live dog if Horn over looks Paq. Could bite horn right in the ass

    I'm pretty sure you are talking when these guys are in their prime. With the current time it is not as clear cut.

    No I am talking about right now, Horn is not very good he was almost KO'd by an ancient Randal Bailey, the current version on Berto KO's him, Horns defense is terrible.

    Ok, you probably have more knowledge of horn than I do, he didn't look that bad in his last fight though

    Yeah he looked alright against a 39 year old shot opponent. I have seen Horn fight about 8 times, his defense has improved slightly but still is not good, his corner is terrible like most Australian trainers they will have no idea how to prepare for Pac. One thing I will say is that he is a lot tougher than Geales I don't think he will quit as he got up after Bailey dropped him but he is not as tough as the likes of Lenny Z or Katsidis.
