Jeff Horn may be younger and more durable, but the Australian challenger does not have that “something special” to edge World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao in their July 2 fight in Brisbane, Australia.

“I don’t think Horn’s power will be a factor. And if he let Pacquiao (59-6-2 record with 38 knockouts) go with movement and combination punching, he’ll be in big trouble. I like Horn but on that level, you have to have something special and I haven’t seen that special factor yet with Horn,” American boxer Randall Bailey told The Manila Times in a phone interview.
