accept? sure, but will it be big? no
Khan won't i9nvoke the reaction he woulda got vs Floyd a while ago
he's recognized as being damaged goods now
but getting a belt and a pair of decent wins makes him credible
Uh yeah, that's usually how it works. Beat someone with a heartbeat, or 2 and land a big fight. Being scrapped off of the canvas and barely beating a journeyman and an absolute nobody doesn't get you much.
but but but, "he sells" "he's faced better competition" "his style will beat Floyds" Khacksuckers like to live in the past.
Of course! If Khan can beat Collazo and Porter, fans would demand a Floyd fight! Reality is he can't even overlook Collazo cause that's a dangerous fight for him. He would last just as long as Paulie did with Porter.
The Alexander debacle suggests that should Khan get passed Collazo (and that's more of a when than an if for me), there's a chance that he waits it out and avoids the risk of Brook/Porter. Which is a damn shame.
His observance of Ramadan most likely means that he wont fight in September so he'll need to get another fight in before May 2015. The winner of Brook/Porter would be ideal but, if he doesn't look as solid at welterweight as he's hoping then most likely fight someone in the mould of Guerrero who's flat footed and light fisted.
Can't see khan wanting to fight Porter, that chin would get checked big time, I even think Kell deep down is wishing he had an easier route, but he'll do better than Amir would.

If Khan beat both Collazo and Porter he would deserve a Mayweather shot. I don't feel a win over Collazo would really be enough and I doubt if Collazo beats Khan whether he would be a serious contender for a shot either.
Porter is being talked about by Shaefer as a potential Mayweather opponent so if that is the case should Khan beat him he would warrant the big fight.
However should Khan get past Collazo I see him sitting on his a$$ playing the waiting game again and not risking another loss. That is what he has been recently doing and unless Maywather had a conditional contract with him that he would fight him if he beat Porter that fight would never happen.
If khan beats collazo and beats porter I will 100% back a floyd/khan fight. But when dumbasss khantards rally for a floyd/khan fight when khan is coming off a win vs julio diaz at a catchweight...NO, JUST NOO STOP WITH THAT BS.
Yeah, true.
And for the record I like Khan. I think he has some tremendous, tremendous skills. But like most fighters he has some serious flaws as well.
I hope he blows out Collazo and gets his sh*t back on track.
I think the Porter performance against Alexander factors in as well. That was a nice win against a very solid performer in Alexander.
That was clinical and I respect that, because Khan turned Devon down, but the most passengers that hopped on was after the Paulie KO.
Let's also not forget Julio Diaz for whom it took Porter two attempts to beat and is constantly brought up to discredit Khan as a bum.
People hopping on Porter's wagon just because he KOed Paulie

People hopping on Porter's wagon just because he KOed Paulie, which no doubt is a good win, but people please Khan disposed a relatively fresher version 4 years ago.
Porter took 2 fights to beat Julio Diaz, so where is the mention about that? He lost the first one arguably.
Doubt he gets past porter honestly. I don't wanna make him to be some great threat but he did what nobody has really done and that's actually stop paulie I know he's been tko'd before but never in that fashion and considering how good paulie's chin is and how durable of a fighter he his that was pretty impressive but yes if beat those fighters I'm sure the public would accept the fight
Khan actually beat a Prime Paulie and outclassed him in his own game,winning every second of every round, that was the first time I saw Paulie getting outboxed and outclassed.
