Jeff Horn is the possible the weakest welterweight champion ever.

Horn would demolish any version of Mallignaggi or Broner.

 

He beat Pac ffs and yes he would batter Broner , Mallignaggi, Senchenko and probably many more below average.

 

Stop it, not even close. He's no closer to being the weakest than he is to being the strongest. He's as middle of the road as you can get.

 

He's willing to fight people so he's ok

 

That would be Carlos Baldomir. And Horn is just a titlist, not World Champion.

How can there be a hype train when NO ONE is hyping Horn?

Nice crappy troll account BTW...

 

There have been worse than Baldomir even. Plenty actually.

 

Horn is a solid fighter. Predicting that Crawford will stop him so early is pretty bold considering he's moving up in weight and fighting a much naturally bigger man.

It's interesting that this fight is happening in Madison Square Garden. Surely Crawford didn't want to go to Australia and Horn didn't want to go to Nebraska. All things considered, that's probably a pretty fair compromise for a venue.

 

Well he came out of nowhere, nobody knew who he was and he beat a heavily past it legend in his only notable career fight. Everybody is just writing it off as a fluke or cheap title grab over a smaller former great fighter.

It's not deserved, but the fight with Crawford will tell us a lot about Jeff Horn. As Crawford is not nearly as old or small as Pacquiao.

 

In terms of being The World Champ? Can't say I agree. Worse titleholders? Absolutely. Titleholders can be a dime a dozen.

 

If you mean lineal then I don't know. A belt is actually more meaningful than a lineal championship because one thing is tangible and actually exists and another does not. There is no such thing as a lineal champion, it does not exist. It is a made up hypothetical term that once again does not actually exist. A belt does. Of course with there being at least 4 of them in every weight class it significantly waters it down now. But a belt has always only been as valuable as what the fighter himself makes it. And since Jeff Horn holds a piece of the WW world championship he is a world champion at that weight class.
