Khan will shock the world and Ko louis collazo with a body shot. It will be a horrible fight for collazo he wont be able to deal with Khans speed,accuracy and youth.
After the Diaz fiasco, I just don't know if Khan can take a shot and although Collazo is no beast, I think he hits hard enough to KO Khan in the mid rounds, maybe even early.
Under Virgill, Khan has taken a turn for the worst. He was a purely instinctive offensive fighter with incredible handspeed, now he is always stuck in two minds, trying to go back and think his way into a fight isn't how he should plan for this one. Plus, in both the Molina and Diaz fights, he kept getting caught with wide, looping left hooks and right hands, surely Virgil was supposed to improve his defence?
I literally see no difference in Khan at all,if anything he looks more vulnerable
Will that be different on Saturday night? I doubt it
The only outcome i can see is a Collazo ko Khan is just not dedicated enough and has declined so much.I watched his fight vs Judah and his fight vs Diaz and he is a completely different fighter vs Judah he was so fast, had good footwork and could get out of the way of punches but vs Diaz he looked confused and was getting hit with the same punches over and over again.
Just to hit all of the Khan threads so I can eat crow in as many places as possible when I'm wrong. Late Collazo (T)KO. Collazo should be well motivated to get onto the Floyd lotto, and I think Khan has too much rust, and isn't serious anymore, even if he doesn't know it.

Let's move ahead, If Collazo beats Khan, he'd get to face Thurman for the vacant WBA belt, the winner of Mayweather-Maidana will not fight Thurman.
Khan is still in the running for Mayweather should he win, a loss to Collazo would mean it's over for him, Amir will be remembered as the biggest hype job ever.
No offense, but this part is absurdly untrue. Even if Khan loses his next five fights by KO, he won't be the "biggest hypejob ever".
Sure, he didn't live up to ALL the expectations that surrounded him when he turned pro after winning silver at the 2004 olympics, but he did become a unified champion at 140, beat some very good names, and at one point was arguably #1 in that division. He was (and maybe still is) a world class pro, and at his best he flirted with the "elite" level.

Don't put any money on this fight!!
Khan outspeeds Collazo...late TKO or UD unless Collazo lands a brick on that chin.
It's like a 60 - 40 in Khan's favor. Too risky.
This is pretty much how I see it, too. It's Khan's fight to lose, but it wouldn't be the first time he lost to an underdog, and Collazo is a solid veteran. Khan needs to be very focused and disciplined throughout. And most importantly, if Collazo rocks him (which has a good chance of happening), he needs to get on his bike instead of trying to fight out of trouble like he usually does.
So I'm picking and rooting for Khan, but I wouldn't bet real money on this fight.

Everytime Khan thinks he's fighting Floyd next he loses his current fight. It happened with Peterson and it happened with Garcia. I got Collazo by TKO 8.

Khan's the favorite how would it be a shock? Khan is going to look great at times, but ultimately Collazo takes him out. I've lost all confidence in his ability to take shots.
Khan hits like a little girl he ain't K.Oing nothing.
How have you come to that though? Because Freddy Hernandez dropped him to the body and because Khan dropped a soft Maidana with a bodyshot?
Strange logic to predict a fight outcome by.
