I know a rematch between Pacquiao and Horn is on the horizon most likely.
But during discussion in one of the threads after the Pac-Horn fight this match up was brought up.
I think it's a good match up for a fun fight.
What do you guys think happens in a Horn vs Khan fight?
Horn takes first 2 rounds while he's still has his legs, horns harrasses him awkwardly landing awkward shots anywhere. Khan dont have much power either.
I don't have any faith in Khan. He usually loses important fights and he hardly fights at all any more. Horn is young and green and bond to improve with every fight. I though Pacquiao easily beat him but Horn's will to win is impressive. Horn bends the rules a lot with his wrestling and holding and hitting. I don't like that but with a ref who isn't that strict it makes Horn a difficult opponent and he can punch.He would fight Khan with the same high pressure roughhouse tactics he used on Pacquiao and he would win by KO in my opinion.
He's young? He's 29. LOL!! Let the guy milk his potential Pacquiao vs Bradley-like trilogy and retire rich once it's over. He got paid peanuts to fight Pacquaio but he should now have a better negotiating position. He'll definitely lose the rematch and should rightly call for a third money spinner. Happy days for an average bloke. Also he gets outboxed easily by the chinless wonder Khan.
Who cares? I called a controversial decision before the fight was even announced all because of the way Arum was acting shady all these years. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Bob Arum who paid that judge off.
Anyway I believe there's legitimate reasons Pacquaio has been avoiding good competition, the new top dogs at welterweight, the top dogs at light welterweight, the has-beens like Khan who can still potentially outbox most at welterweight aside from the powerhouses like Spence, Thurman, Porter et al.
Khan vs Horn? Khan boxes Horns ears off. Will not get knocked out. Complete shut out for Khan. I'll bet good money on it too.
The fight won't happen though because Khan is driven by money and Horn will most likely lose to Pacquaio calling for a third fight to draw a line under their victories over each other. Bob Arum is sly like that.
The noob commentator Bradley would be a better bet for Khan since they have beef and both have had a period of inactivity. Both decent names with decent resumes, both could make good money and good style match-ups for both.
Anyway as great a boxer as Pacquaio was his time is up. Has been up since he got slept by Marquez. Should watch Mayweather vs McGregor ringside, jump into the the ring like GGG after Mayweather turns McGregor into a Potato and beg for a rematch whilst admitting he lost the first fight. He won't get it and he will lose again most likely but who knows? Might be possible to do it abroad in a new developing market after he beats Horn with the number of viewers he's pulling in.
If it makes money it makes sense.

Alot would depend on how Khan looks now after getting KTFO by Canelo.
Khan would give Horn problems with his boxing, speed and movement.
Horn's awkward style would trouble Khan too.
It would be a matter of Khan being able to last until the 12th round ends and a matter of when or if Horn caught Khan with a good chin shot and/or wore Khan down.
Khan is irrelevant yet people still mention him all the time. Also dont be silly, he may not be defensively sound or have a good chin but most WWs e.g. him and the other top 10 would beat Horn. Pacman was very unfortunate with the loss and was robbed.
Interesting matchup, but I'd rather see Horn get it in with a guy like Shawn Porter.
But Khan could win, as he won over Maidana. But ofcourse, two different styles swarmer and brawler.
Khan win's the first 8 rounds, does the ali shuffle with his hands in the air, when he is caught with a huge right hand, he then falls face first with his eyes open paul willams style.
