Comments Thread For: Schaefer: A lot of Pressure on Amir Khan in Collazo Fight

[DoktorSleepless]

I'm quite tired Schaefer. When is Oscar going to fire him?

And thanks Schaefer for adding even more with statements like this.

There is no doubt there is pressure on Khan to not only win but make a statement strong enough to warrant the demand and interest of fans for a Mayweather fight. Edging out a decision will not be enough.

I'm going with Collazo in this one.

SCHAEFER....OHHHH .......Schaefer.....

Schaefer must be trying to lighten the load on Amir's twitchy shoulders with this?

I'd say the pressure is pretty much all on Khan; if Collazo drops a decision (especially a reasonably close one), he's still Collazo the possible spoiler and a good name to have on a resume.

If Khan gets KO'd or loses by decision or wins by bad decision or even close decision, how many people are still going to be thinking of him as elite or even borderline elite?

How many people are thinking of Khan in those terms now? Khan needs a decisive emphatic win over Collazo for people to even consider him in those terms.

Not I, but the guy does have a following.

Yes there is huge pressure on khan... Collazo could easily beat him, if khan makes a mistake..
And a loss to collazo would effectively end Khan's career at the top level.. He would still have some decent paydays vs brook or broner,, But he will not be in the running for a floyd fight, or any other big money fight

Khan should never, ever have even been in the running for Floyd. Dude put his career on ice, ducked decent fighters just to land Floyd and ended up shafted, on Floyd's undercard with the toughest fight on the card. That's just crazy.

That is Karma. By a weird twist of fate Maidana just forged ahead with his career with no Mayweather plans just taking the best options as they unfolded and landed the jackpot after destroying Broner. That is karma also,he got his reward through the merit of his actions.
