    Khan is playing it "SAFE" you and I know this so know Kell Brook doesn't become the bigger name or the bigger DRAW...BUT that win would create a Buzz for him, just like Maidana created a Buzz for himself after beating Broner. Even Showtime promoting the fight as the winner possibly getting a shot a Mayweather. We Shall see how this plays out. Khan needs a BOLD FIGHT and he needs to win that BOLD FIGHT to make people believe he is WORTHY of a shot a Mayweather, Sorry but beat Collazo doesn't make you WORTHY of a shot at Mayweather
    Shawn Porter is not Broner. So beating him won't create that big of a buzz.

    Mayweather is not fighting Brook.

      Of course he is. Khan is all mouth and china for chin. He's one of the most exciting fighters to watch. I wouldn't pick him against most top 10 welterweights, but that does not mean I don't tune into every fight.

        khan is weird case for a top ww fighter/cash cow because khan can outbox you and make you look bad but if you end up beating khan's ass you won't really get any credit/props because multiple people have already beat the living crap outta him before i.e. lamont p., prescott and garcia......

          Again, WE SHALL SEE! Khan not guarantee a match either if he don't take on better opponents at Welterweight

            I wouldn't say he's irrelevant.

            I remember everyone was saying Collazo would ktfo Khan, IMO Khan looked damn good.

            I understand Collazo probably drinks more than I do but that was a good showing for his first fight at WW.

            I actually do think 147 was the right move for Khan, maybe he wasn't lying about killing himself to make weight.

            I guess I'm a Khan fan

                    Yes because Devon, Porter and Brook are more relevant

                      AGAIN if he beats PORTER that Changes! Technically in the Welterweight Division he is already ahead of Khan since he been in the division longer.
                      if Brook beats Porter you can bet on Mayweather challenging him. If Porter beats Brook, Mayweather won't even look in his direction.
