It will be interesting to see which way Jeff Horn heads next.

There shouldn't be any shortage of opportunities out there for him, and one of them is Mundine at catchweight.

Who do people think Horn will fight next?

Horn has a number of options. He can remain at welterweight. Go up to super welterweight. Or fight Mundine at catchweight, and then decide later.

I don't see any point him moving up a division. Most fighters battle to make weight and Horn is no exception.

Fighting Mundine represents only a pay day for Horn - granted a big pay day. It is otherwise a no win fight for him. He beats a 43 year old, so what. He loses to a 43 year old and where does he go from there?

If Dean Lonergan, Glenn Rushton and Jeff Horn himself are as astute as I think they are they will wait until the dust settles on this loss and make a smart decision in the cold light of day.

Horn-Mundine already seems to be gaining momentum. It is being reported Mundine's adviser Emaid Dib has spoken to Horn's trainer Glenn Rushton twice already about the potential match-up.

"I told Glenn that this is Jeff's opportunity to make a career high payday fighting in his own backyard'' - Dib said.

"Anthony Mundine can write Jeff a cheque now for the fight and he can promote it himself but we are prepared to work with Dean Lonergan if that's what the Horn camp wants."

"I told him that we have very definite plans. Anthony is 43 so we want the fight to happen as soon as possible."

Horn - Mundine is a no brainer. Jeff gets to fight in his own backyard for a career high payday. If he wins it is a stepping stone to get back on track, if he loses
he can retire a wealthy man. Mundine has already offered Horn 2 million win lose or draw. The stumbling block is Lonergan who is talking a Crawford re-match
or other elite welters back in the USA. Spence,Thurman,Porter, even Garcia all destroy Horn. There are still enough Mundine Haters out there to make this fight
a certain money spinner.
My Tip .... Mundine TKO on cuts.

You think Mundine beats Horn?
 
#6 · (Edited)
Mundine has already offered Horn 2 Million win lose or draw. Thats 1 mill more than he got against Pac. 27 thousand turned up at Mundine -Green 2 in a neutral state.
Are you saying Horn-Mundine is not a money spinner ???
Anyway the thread title is what next for Horn..... What's your tip ??

You are desperately trying to put words in my mouth.

Here is what I said. Nothing more. Nothing less :

Anthony Mundine is going to end up messed up. His father and those closest to him should have been pressuring him to to retire years ago.
We saw from the poor turn up of Mundine supporters for the Green fight that the bubble has burst for him and that was a year and a half ago.
Did you hear the crowd reaction in Adelaide for Mundine compared to for Green? It sounded like there weren't any Mundine supporters there.
In any case Mundine is 43 and should be retired while people can still understand what he is trying to say.

Mundine is an option: an in between keep busy fight- a certain win- nice pay day.

I still hate it :rofl everyone cringes at the idea but will still watch it anyway.

Horn still has stock in world rankings and definitely can beat multiple second tier welterweights. ie- Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Jessie vargas, Lamont Peterson, Lucas Matthysse, I hope he plays the business end of his career smart. 19-1. Only 30 years old. There's millions to be made and Duco are smart players.

I disagree that Duco are smart players, if the Queensland government hadn't got involved and if Duco didn't sign Horn's rights away to the slimey yank then Horn would still be angling for a shot. Duco get Joseph Parker and Jeff Horn world title shots, albeit WBO, then have both their first serious title defences as the underdogs in their opponents' home towns, with both the title defenders earning a lot less than the challengers, absolutely brilliant management there, and neither of the title shots in the first place could have happened without the help of the NZ or Queensland governments.

Anthony Mundine on the prospect of fighting Jeff Horn :

"I mean....I'm not desperate for the fight."

"He went over there and fought one of the best pound for pounders in the world...did himself proud...his country proud....his family proud"

"I've got nothing but the utmost respect for Jeff...have met him a few times...just seems a very genuine, humble dude that nobody could dislike."

"It would be hard to get up for this fight....you know....would be like hitting a brother."

"If he did beat me...I'd definately bow out...you know."

"If I did beat him...I'd just want to go out and fight the best....at 154, 160."

"I've got a few more fights in me....good fights."

Mundine will be flying to Brisbane next week to meet with Horn's team. Horn trainer Glenn Rushton says the fight has the potential to top the 2006 Green-Mundine fight as Australia's biggest PPV at more than $10m.

Rushton says he hopes a win over Mundine will help springboard Horn to return fights with Manny Pacquiao and Bud Crawford.

"We know Crawford is agreeable to fighting Jeff again as long as the money is there."

Mundine has promised to turn over a new leaf.

"I said a lot of things in the past that were probably stupid and dumb" - Anthony Mundine.

Looks like the fight is gaining momentum, Rushton tipping it to be the biggest money spinner since Green-Mundine 1. Horns' father and Rushton are keen but the
stumbling block is Lonergan who is still looking for the Crawford re-match. Johnny Lewis is in favour saying Horn should have fought Mundine instead of Crawford.
Australia will get the chance to see Mundine smashed and finished or Horn get cut to ribbons again.

I think Mundine has more chance of beating Horn than Horn had of beating Crawford.
I think Mundine has more chance of beating Horn than Corcoran had of beating Horn.
Horn was stitched up after Pac. He got stitched up after Corcoran.He got major stitched up after Crawford. He even gets stitched up after sparring.
There are only so many times you can get stitched up after 26 stitches in the Crawford fight.
If this fight gets made it will be Mundines last, it should be a big money spinner for both fighters.
Mundine TKO on cuts.... Thats how i see it unfolding.
 
#28 ·
Horn has had 19 fights and never been stopped on cuts. Pacquiao couldn't stop him on cuts. Crawford couldn't stop him on cuts, and Mundine can!? Sounds like wishful thinking shaped into a prediction to me.

Speaking of Corcoran, Emaid Dib says once the fight is agreed to he will fly Corcoran in as one of Mundine's sparring partners.

Ben Damon, more yes than no when it comes to 'Choc' Mundine, says teams Horn and Mundine will meet next week and both Lonergan and Dib will be present. Damon is predicting a November fight. Likely venue Brisbane, and at 70 or 71 kg (which equates to 154 to 156 pounds).

Tommy Browne...World ranking 75. Don't tell me...... You did not watch it.
Gary Corcoran ...World ranking 72. Bet you watched it.
Mate you need to get past 2006. It's history. The thread title is What next for Horn. You have contributed nothing but bagging Mundine.
Even when pressed you still have not offered one suggestion. Your only contribution is Mundine is old and past it and no-one will watch it.Glen Rushton
seems to think it will be the biggest fight ever held in Australia grossing over 10 million dollars.
One thing you Mundine haters don't understand, the trash talk is to build up the fight. As Lonergan said, Mundine figured out a long time ago '' there is more money in playing the bad guy.''

You are still desperately trying to put words in my mouth champ. I have made no mention of or even alluded to 2006. Nothing. Not a bean. Point out where if you intend to keep claiming I have.

It didn't take you long to out yourself as a Mundine nuthugger.

I personally would like to see this fight, I did not bother with neither the Mundine-Browne nor the Horn-Corcoran fights but I do think this is a reasonable domestic dust-up between to world class fighters, one has youth and power on his side but is hobbled by skill level and experience, the other, size and experience but us hobbled by age.
 
#36 ·
You have made 8 posts in a thread titled What next for Horn still no suggestion of an opponent for Horn.Please point out where i am trying to put words
into your mouth. I simply asked if you thought Mundine-Horn would not be a huge money spinner and who would you like to see Horn fight next. Not real hard
to answer.
I think you are a closet Green nut hugger.
