Jeff Horn shouldn't really have been in the ring with a guy the level of Crawford

    I'v seen this nasally bums entire career and boy was it frustrating until last night.

    Duco events (the guys behind joseph parker) dragged him up on mostly Parker undercards and i watched him beat a who's who of "those guys you remember who were almost contenders in the early 00s who you didnt know were still fighting"

    I remember when he almost got Ktfo by Ali Funeka, IN 2017 then got on the mic and whined "lets go manny" while Bob arum looked on in bemusment.

    Pacquiao of course was a totally spent force but you throw him in with Jorn in front of 50,000 aussies and then boom you either have a paper champ built on corpses of old timers or shot legend with a belt

    Easy money for Duco who got some paid off officials in to ensure horn scraped by the dessicated corpse of pac.

    Uncle bob then gets a nice easy first 147 belt against a guy who crawford can look out of this world against.

    An excercise in cynicism.

    Whether a boxer is considered to be good, great, nasally, doesn't deserve to be there......what does it matter?

    Jeff Horn is merely a pawn, a commodity, a brand that's involved in a narrative which is controlled by promoters and investors.

    Jeff Horn is a tough Aussie *******.

    I love the conspiracy of Bob wanting Crawford-Horn.

    Horn was as good v Crawford as a prime Hatton would of been, if Pac had of been the age he was when he fought Horn at the time he beat Hatton he still would of beaten him. Horn`s body was far stronger than Hattons, the punches he took off Crawford would of knocked Hatton spark out, Ricky couldn`t take a solid welter shot, Horn`s tough as nails.
