    Not saying either is a great win, just saying Collazo is better. He's faired better against better opposition and hasn't been knocked out multiple times before.
    To the highlighted,how long ago??That was over a decade ago,and recently he's done nothing..I just always thought Collazo was giving to much credit for things he's almost done..He has not really done anything in this sport..If your telling me that his biggest win was against a fighter who'd been out of the ring for like 2 yrs and could careless about boxing in a whole..He just does not move me..

      Let Khan fight the winner of Porter Brook,if he wins a Mayweather fight would be huge and do very good numbers..Thurman is just risky business at the moment,Khan is not the one who is orchestrating this either..It's his promoters and managers..
      Why do guys think that either winner of the Brook vs Porter fight would choose Khan over other opponents?

      The winner of that fight will be in the driver's seat and there are more promising targets than Khan out there.

        If Brook wins, Khan will easily be the best fight for him both in terms of money to be made and for his profile.

        If Porter wins, he should gun for the big boys - whether or not Khan would fit into that equation is doubtful.

            Yes he obviously had some problems etc. but he was always a better fighter than Soto Karass anyway.

              Cause their promoter and Manager will make Khan be the most lucrative option for them..It's business bro..

                    The belt-holder post-fight, would also be an option for Floyd who would trump most other options. And Brook has already gone on-record, to state that he wants to target Floyd if he beats Porter. Porter hasn't made any such statements, unfortunately.

                      Idiot thats not why people hated him. They hated him for quitting against Bradley and being a boring fighter. LOL
