Horn struggled to make 147 just like Kell Brook. I think that would be a good fight at say 150 catchweight. Or maybe Danny Garcia. I think Horn against guys with similar speed as he has would be good fights, but Horn fighting guys with speed and power like Thurman and Spence, but who are also his size unlike Pacquiao, doesn't sound as appealing to me. Jessie Vargas would also be a good fight for Horn because again Vargas doesn't have elite speed. Let's see if Horn can even beat a guy his size without elite speed before he goes in the ring with someone who does have elite speed and is his size.
Not that either Thurman or Spence have elite speed but you know what I mean. They both have more speed and more power than Horn, and just as much size, so where is Horn's advantage? It looked like he might have underrated fight IQ and footwork and defense, and some nice moves and counters and timing and all that, but those intangibles or however you want to put them can only take you so far if you're outgunned in every physical department.
So let's see Horn in with a welterweight with more power than him, but not too much more speed, before we see him in with welterweights who have more power than him and a lot more speed.
