    But I know it's unlikely to happen. Holt is high risk and low reward, but I think Holt is a legit test for Khan. Holt is equipped with some good boxing tools and explosive power, could cause problems for Khan for sure.

    What y'all think?

    Khan would beat him but it could be interesting if Holt landed a simelar shot to the one that put down Bradley. Khan would have too much speed and workrate for Holt who tends to stop punching when hes opponent pushes a pace hes not happy with

    Since Khan & Bradley won't be fighting each other which sucks, why not Khan/Holt and Bradley/Maidana on the same month if not day? Those are classic boxer vs puncher matchups though Bradley is more of a hybrid swarmer/boxer.

    Holt's power is overrated. If Maidana couldn't get it done, he can't.

    Interesting matchup.

    Holt has a great jab and serious power....but that chin....

    It would not be a bad fight at all, I'd look forward to it.

    I like it, Holt, if he keeps out of trouble out of the ring could really give Khan some problems. Holt seems back on track now and I don't think Khan would want that fight for the reward it would bring, its very dangerous. I would love to see it though.

    Maidana took a body punch that would KO most if not all in that division, so he didnt have his full power in round 10 that liver shot took a lot out of maidana and holt is technicaly better.
