    Collazo was a pretty credible first win at welterweight.

    Especially when you consider other guys first wins at welterweight

They might be ESPN level fights but hey, like you said, Khan doesn't really need the money anyway right?
      A daughter that is completely "His".

      No Khan doesn't need the $. It is icing on the cake, otherwise he would've taken Brook for $5 or whatever he was offered than take $1.5 for Collazo only to get on a Floyd card.

        Purses and handbags? Bradley probably has to carry his wife's whilst playing "soccer mom" to the litter of kids she popped out from another dude's nut



        Khan goes to bed with that most nights.
        You guys sound insecure about a man being a stepfather. What about the other kid that is his? Sounds like a family man, something Khan knows nothing about, more like a dude that cheats on his woman. No matter, Khan can still prove he is the best in his next fight. Who is he fighting next anyways, Aydin?

          Khan hides her in shame, probably because he cheated on his woman with a pro and slipped up. Don't kid yourself, Khan doesn't have money like that, his lifestyle doesn't permit it. He didn't take the Brook fight because he didn't want to get knocked out and miss out on that pipe dream lottery ticket....you know the one he never got.

            Provodnikov however, is a close one after losing to a college going part time karate kid turned pro boxer. Damn Bradley was even slurring in his speech for 2 months after barely beating such a one dimensional fighter.
            Provo would starch khan!

              He was offered $5m to fight Brook. That's very likely more than what he'd get against Mayweather.

                  It's not hiding when you put a picture of your new born on your twitter account that has 1.4 million followers and it is all over in National newspapers, but hey he isn't even relevant right?

                  Collazo was a riskier fight as he more skilled and being a former world champion at WW is more proven than Brook.

                  "Don't kid yourself, Khan doesn't have money like that, his lifestyle doesn't permit it." Huhh.

                    I think that Amir needs to win a couple more notable fights and fight more frequently in order to become relevant again. He should really push for back to back rematches against Peterson and Garcia to get those loses avenged. He can also rematch Breidis Prescott in a stay busy tune up and kill two birds with one stone and instead of just fighting a random opponent he will at least get credit for avenging his first loss.

                      I always expect Khan to have tough outings because lets be honest, Khan isn't a smart fighter. Collazo was not only well past his prime but too favorable of a match up for Khan, not a credible opponent.
