    Who wins?

    Believe it or not, I actually see this as a really compelling matchup.

    Khan was very good against southpaws, and Josh hasn't faced anybody with prime Khan's speed.

    Khan would beat him if it wasn't for his poor punch resistance. As it is, i expect taylor to ko him mid rounds while losing on points

    Pretty much how I see it. Khan starts fast and puts early rounds in the bank but gets stopped midway.

    Taylor is a big favourite IMO.

    He'd knock Khan out.

    Khan would get off to a good start but he would get caught up in too many exchanges that eventually lead to his downfall.

    Taylor KO 7

    A lot depends on where the fight takes place. In England Khan gets sparked, eventually.

    In the USA he might not get sucked in as badly to unnecessary exchanges.

    Deffo has a feel of Taylor being required to overcome a deficit, probably with his face falling off.

    If Taylor is allowed to fight inside he wins 10 times out of 10 imo.
