    Hope Khan rejects the notion of this fight
    either of the bolded would be MUCH better options for Khan, as they're both seen as top 10 in the world, where Collazo is probably closer to top 15-20

    but what is the likelihood of either Khan-Guerrero or Khan-Porter happening?

    **and if Khan cannot fight in September, because of religious reasons, then what's Amir's next move?

    If I had to guess, I bet Khans team won't want to fight Collazo. But at this point Khans options are limited since he put all his eggs in the Mayweather basket. I still would rather see Khan fight Devon Alexander or even Kell Brook before Collazo
    I wouldn't blame Khan if he didn't go for Collazo, but if he can't get Porter/Guerrero, Collazo is probably Khan's best option at this point

    bold: no way, the only appeal Alexander had was his IBF belt. With that gone, IMO no sense in Khan trying to fight Devon.

      Yeah this is an ok fight, it could get some Collazo momentum going from where it started by beating Ortiz OR it could further Khan into the Mayweather talks...

      I don't see how this would be better than Khan vs Broner, but if this happened I wouldn't exactly complain. Khan has a few options, the Ghost included, so if Collazo is also one then so be it. The fight I want to see from Khan is Broner, but that isn't gonna happen so I'd settle for this.

        true Devon has lost his appeal, but he is still a better win than Collazo (thats if Khan wins)

          I agree completely. Collazo/Khan is 50/50. Luis can shorten up his shots to fight on the inside, where Khan is incapable of fighting. But if Khan can keep it at distance, he'll win 8-4ish.

            REALLY? HAHAHA

            That shouldn't get him a fight with Mayweather if he wins it though, Khan wants something easy with the hope that he will be picked next. At least fight Shawn Porter damn it Khan!

              Shawn Porter has to fight Kell Brook in June. I doubt there's going to be enough time to do a Khan fight in between. I'm hearing Porter is trying to fight Malignaggi.

                    Because Broner didn't get soundly beaten by Freddy Hernandez a few fights ago.

                    People on here have such short memories.

                    You actually think Collazo is more credible than Broner?

                      Richard Schafer has gone back to his old habit of feeding fans garbage and trying to convince us that it is Filet Mignon. Alvarez/Angulo instead of Alvarez/Lara;, Broner/Molina and Khan/Collazo instead of Broner/Khan; Matthysse and Keith Thurman fighting on the same card, but not against each other. These are all garbage fights. I said it before and I will say it again: 2014 is going to be a terrible year for boxing.
