Is it possible???

"I wouldn't have thought that would have happened here," she said. "It's really odd."



Is it possible to remove the second Have and rewrite it :



"I wouldn't have thought that would happened here," she said. "It's really odd.



Does it make any difference???If yes,what is the difference?
