    Not stylistically, in terms of quality of contender. He'll lose to the top guys like Spence and Thurman badly but give mid-tier contenders tough fights.

    Beating the **** out of Manny is definitely hyperbole.

    Horn must fight the best guys out there, beating Manny in a controversial decision does not help.

    The pressure is on Jeff Horn now,
    I don't like his trainer saying that Horn will beat McGreggor than Mayweather did.

    Actually beating Manny by decision when you were expected to get blown out in a couple of rounds helps plenty.

    Don't be brainwashed by Teddy Atlas. The fight was genuinely close & only those who are stupid or incapable of seeing fights from different perspectives don't think so.

    Horndog & his camp are after the biggest fights out there. While it may seem silly calling out the likes of Mayweather & McGregor, if you can pull 51,000-plus through the gate for a fight with Pacman, anything is possible.

    Needs to take care of that Pommie scrubber in December & I'm sure we'll see a big fight for Horndog in the first half of next year. In fact, I think the fight with the Pommie scrubber will do very well in Australia. Horndog has massive crossover appeal to mainstream sports fans.

    He's a one hit wonder. First decent boxer he fights (outside of Australia) will beat
    him. IMO.

    If he's pulling 50,000-plus through the gate in Australia, he won't need to fight elsewhere.

    Not in the near term anyway.

    I think he beats the Pommie scrubber, has a great chance in a rematch with Pacquiao & will be up for the challenge against Crawford.

    He beats that MMA guy as well.

    I am quite the reverse, I often wake up with the Horn.

    Bullied and fould Pacquaio to death using his size , then flat out ducked Bradley Skeete - a would've had a size advantage over him. Wants to fight McGregor after he beats Corcran and will milk that belt for years to come.
    The dude is up there with Wilder as the biggest joke in boxing. I wait impatiently for the day when somebody knocks his block off.

    The dude is a deluded arrogant POS. He gets a gift against Pac now thinks he is some super star calls out Floyd, MacGreggor, Spence & Crawford but is now fighting some bum from the UK that nobody has even heard of. I can't wait for this clown to get KTFO and I will be LMFAO when it happens.

    Horn is relatively flatfooted and porous defensively, yet he is awkward and tough enough to give good fighters a rough go. He deserves a lot of credit for beating Pacman when almost everyone thought he would be an easy mark, but, let's face it, Pacquiao was a shell of his former self and still many fans thought he won the fight.

    I think Horn can compete with the top fighters of the division. Guys like Thurman and Spence have more faucets to their game and can definitely pull the trigger so I'd pick them to beat him. One of the best fights we could get would be Porter vs. Horn: "Battle of the Swarmers". Come to the states and have some fun, Jeff!
