    It's a ****** fight that even if he wins he doesn't win in the public eye.

        Khan has the potential to look good in this if he doesn't switch off but of course that is a big "if" with Amir.

        It's not that Collazo is a terribly big puncher, he has decent power - most people on here have goldfish memories and only think of the Ortiz fight where Vicky actually quit more than anything.

        Collazo is a boxer and Khan usually looks good against boxers. McCloskey was the one time he didn't look so good and that was because he was rushing and lunging in. Hopefully Hunter's more measured approach helps with that.

          Would be good if Luis got rid of Khan for us all.

            This is a solid fight for Khan, winnable and the opponent credible. Collazo isn't spectacular but he is solid. Khan should be too fast for him and should fight at a distance to make sure his chin doesn't get touched.

            Khan late TKO.

              I still expect Khan to win but it will not be easy.

              This is a testiment to how good Hatton really was at his peak.

              I think he made it to P4P #3 or #4 at one point and it's good people can now see how brilliant he was at his best.

              IMO, he was probably the 3rd best fighter in the world in the 2005-2007 timeline. Somewhere tied with Cotto and behind Manny and Floyd obviously.

                Maidana doesnt get iced and then play musical chairs with trainers like amir does. And maidana finally has a real trainer now.

                  If Khan keep's blabbing on about fighting the best fighter on the planet he has to step up and fight the best welterweights on the planet, and let's be honest Collazo is a little below that level, although a good fighter and one i believe will spark Khan.
                  Because in boxing, styles make fights. At this point it's just speculation anyways.

                    It was the best fight for Khan to take imo at WW..Any fight will be dangerous for him,I mean it's his first fight at WW..Khan should be able to win this fight,I agree with Hatton tho..He has to fight his fight,fight at range..He can not let Collazo get inside on him..

                      I really don't like Hunter as a trainer either(unless he's training Ward)..Hope it works out for Khan..
