Brook hasn't looked great and is getting sick of Khan messing him about.... why not good measure for Horn -
Khan has just signed on to fight Terence Crawford on April 20. Can't see that one ending well for Khan...
Khan is absolutely magic with his handspeed movement and punches so he could give Crawford problems.....until he gets hit
Horn promoter calls for Horn-Pacquiao rematch
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn will give WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao a rematch and is confident he will defeat him again according to Horn’s promoter Dean Lonergan. “In his last five fights, Manny Pacquiao has only been beaten once, by Jeff Horn. Given Pacman’s last two fights, a destruction of Matthysse and an easy win over Broner, Manny has shown he has plenty of gas left in the tank. It also shows that Jeff horn didn’t beat an old Manny Pacquiao,” Lonergan told Fightnews.com®.
“If Pacquiao wants to build towards a big fight with Mayweather, and make MayPac 2 more credible than it currently is, and with more credibility, it makes more money, surely Manny has to revisit Jeff Horn before a Mayweather fight.
“Pacquiao vs. Horn was a brutal bloody war in Brisbane and the clear winner was Jeff Horn. A rematch of that fight, either in Las Vegas or Brisbane, where Pacquiao gets the opportunity to avenge that loss, should be a requirement by Floyd, along with the boxing public and broadcaster, to give a possible MayPac 2 the credibility it needs to go big. Because right now that loss without being turned into a W stands in the way of a big payday for both fighters.
Im a big fan of the Hornet enjoyed his destruction of Mundine but where to now? Pac will never fight him again. Is he best to stay taking on local guys on the rise or try and climb the ladder again?

He's facing Michael Zerafa next so it would suggest that he'll climb the ladder again fighting domestic level opponents.

thats a decent fight. Horn is an underrated fighter, I rewatched The Crawford fight a few days back and he equipped himself well in there, eventually the gulf in class told but Horn managed to land some good leather in therr
Ike, I thought Horn got a hiding against Crawford, and was never in the fight. But like you say, Crawford's class won out. Interestingly, Horn hasn't fought since Mundine in November.

Yeah Zerafa did quite well against Brook and Horn did ok in the first few rounds coming forward but Crawford eventually wore him down and dished out a lot of punishment as the fight went on.
Im guessing post GGG and Spence thats the ghost of Brook in there, hes shuffling around waiting for that Bellew/Haye cash out fight
