If you look at Khan's loses you will see they are all to bigger taller guys Prescott,Peterson and Garcia. Khan's style was perfect for beating up on shorter smaller fighters where he had a height and reach advantage. At WW he will be fighting men his size and bigger where his style is not as effective, I just don't see him doing as well at WW as LWW. Collazo weighed in at 160 Lbs on fight night when he fought Ortiz,I am pretty sure Khan will look and be the smaller man in the ring. That is not a role he is used to or suits his style, his lack of infighting skills will show up more against bigger men.

at 147 theres a good possibility khan shows the same sort of strength he did when he first moved upto 140 and if that happens its game over for the rest of the welterweight division.

That is an interesting thought...
Boxing is all about risk management, which is why Porter took calculated risks to land on Paulie.
He would do the same with Khan, except that Khan would go down quicker with his ridiculously weak chin.
Paulie went down after he ate a lot of big shots, it was cumulative.
With Khan you only need to land once, then his legs just go - he never recovers.

he aint doing that.. he'd try to fight Khan like he fought Alexander.. by brawling on the inside and closing the distance. Peterson had some success doing that against Khan so Porter would try to imitate that game plan just like he imitated part of Bradley's game plan against Alexander..
