FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S decision to KO Amir Khan's dream of a megabucks fight next month is a blessing in disguise.
That's the firm view of Khan's trainer Virgil Hunter who believes that his fighter will be in a position to actually beat the American when they eventually meet next year.
Superstar Mayweather has chosen Marcos Maidana as his next opponent in Las Vegas a week on Saturday instead of facing Khan, who will fight Luis Collazo on the undercard.

I expected to be a famous actor who fuccks Halle Berry all day..Sadly,that did not come to pass..Neither will this..Well the beating Mayweather part..
. . . life can be so cruel. :sad:
I guess the route that Haymon plots out for Khan will depend on how solid he looks at 147. He'll get past Collazo. I like Luis but by his own admission he's not a heavy puncher, stopping a man that wanted to be knocked out doesn't prove otherwise.
I'd imagine Guerrero is on the shortlist for the next bout.
Lmao yeah this. I swear I think some people saw Collazo for the first time in the Ortiz fight. And now they think dude is some knockout artist :lol1:
i agree, but he is fighting khan, with the right shot he might end up looking like julian jackson in there, ask danny garcia or prescott
So now it's a blessing in disguise that the fight was not made with Floyd? His trainer should have said that a long time ago! They should have fought Devon Alexander.
In a few weeks from now it will be Khan's first fight at the WW limit ..... imagine, that could have been against Floyd ..... nothing new from Floyd's standpoint of opponents .....
Ortiz has always been a quitter just turn on and open your eyes. Some fools are making Collazao to be this and that for ole' glass jaws convenience where not fooled this is the same guy who lost to Ricky Hatton in 2006 ! A bit of prospective then? His an ok test for Khan to start out at welterweight period and only Khan's deluded little Army of boxing followers could disagree, how I'm not sure but these people are deluded of any real thought or indeed knowledge of our beautiful sport.
Do a job on Louis fight a couple of top contenders then , only then start winding on about fighting the best in the division the best in the world, GOOD LUCK!!

^ This. Freaking casuals man.
Ortiz had his jaw broken in two places and I think that hook gave him a sudden pinch or burst of unbearable pain forcing him not to get up, so now people think Collazo is Matthysse.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the supposed progress Khan has made over the last year or so. He looks physically strong and looks healthy in sparring and in interviews and videos.
I hope 147 will do him some good. Collazo will be a tough test, as he would be for anyone, so that's a good measuring stick to find out where he's at.
What power are you talking about? 18kos in 35 wins. Collazo is a tough fighter for anyone but people who think Luis is some kind of KO artist are mistaken.

Your boy's been on the shelf a whole year, he ain't no spring chicken and he's going into a fight with his kryptonite.."a fighter with power"..he should be balancing this talk up somewhat..let him out perform the conversation fans are having about him. Let that man do what he do and if he wins and wins convincingly the people will talk about how impressed they are with amir but you start this now and he comes out like he did fighting diaz and good luck selling that shhh again. What power are you talking about? 18kos in 35 wins. Collazo is a tough fighter for anyone but people who think Luis is some kind of KO artist are mistaken. He caught Ortiz and Ortiz basically quit didn't even try to get up. Khan is gonna make a statement in this one. One more fight like a Garcia rematch at 47 or possible Porter then he can get Mayweather if he wins.
The only crazy person here is Virgil Hunter. In any case his opinion means nothing because he has never been able to change a fighter or build on a fighter's strength to be a world beater. We have seen many fighters jump to his camp but what have they done ever since they jumped camp? He's just singing for his supper here gentlemen.
Khan should only be allowed to fight Mayweather if he can get the belt from Porter first, which whom would destroy him probably worse than he did Malignaggi
even though floyd ducked khan it doesn't guarantee khan would have beat him yet so hunter is right when he says it was a blessing in disguise.. as long as khan stays active and improves he will be more prepared for floyd next year..
i am losing faith in hunter as a trainer though based on performances from angulo, mike dallas, and most recently karim mayfield.. hunters fighters generally aren't that good and that might be because he's not a great trainer.. its looking increasingly likely that he just got lucky with ward

I agree he needs not only just win but a Win by looking in good fashion against Collazo.
