So this weekend could be the end of the line for Amir Khan

End of an era? What era? A whiny brat that thinks he is more worthy than he is? A fighter that wont avenge a KO loss to a C fighter? A guy that drains past-prime fighters to a 143lb catch because he is too b*tch to make a full move to 147? A fighter that hasnt done squat in 3 years?
Khan is just a hyped up sideshow that had a nice run at 140 YEARS ago. He is not a star. He is not elite. He is a fun action fighter that makes for entertaining fights, and that's it.Comment

Collazo himself stated he's the gatekeeper to the welterweight division where he's been at longer. He's going to welcome Khan to 147. He's no walk over.Might be the end of an era here, Collazo is a big strong welterweight, durable with decent pop and skills.
He's not a great fighter by any means but he's a tough outing for anyone and a HUGE step up from khans recent opponents, and perhaps stylistically his toughest fight.
How you see it going down? Is khan getting sparked, and if so, is it over for him?
Khan knows he needs to win if wants a shot at Floyd in the fall.

If he fights the right way he'l win and collazo will not be able to catch him with anything too big. He needs to use Shane Mosley's blueprint. Khan has all the attributes to fight the way Shane fought Collazo. Only thing he doesn't have is the deterring power that Mosley possesses, but Collazo isn't the type of guy who walks you down either. Khan needs to fight long, Collazo like a lot of lefties has a good straight left hand, but most of his punches ark, and are circular in motion. He fights best when someone walks onto his shots, Khan needs to run everything up the middle, use straight right hands to the body to score points. If he uses his fast feet and in and out movement, he will look great. Collazo is flat footed, I'm sure he will make adjustments and have success, plus Khan will get sloppy in stages, but if he is able to stick to the above he should dominate for the most part.
If he fights in Collazo's wheelhouse, and spends to much time in one spot he will get lit up. Collazo will put the combinations together and work him over. Collazo is much saviour and more technical in the pocket, he is a much better fighter there.Comment
