      He hasnt fought a relevant fighter since DSG,,, still trying to call shots.
      Amir who?

        I personally Don't think so. Porter could be fighting @ 160 with the build he has.

          This would have been a more relevant question after Julio Diaz. Not now, the Collazo performance was excellent, and very few people expected it. Khan made Collazo look like a bum, which he is far from.

          Khan is and will always be a draw, and whether some of you American fans want to believe it or not, it's the truth, so I would learn to accept it if I was you. He was a crossover star from the moment he won an Olympic silver medal at 17 years old, and despite some setbacks that momentum has never been reversed, and he has actually been a very good pro, who has won world titles and fought at a very good level for a number of years, CHOOSING to fight in the US, when he could have honestly probably made the same money in the UK.

          It's been a while since the USA had any kind of success in the Olympics, or Puerto Rico for that matter, maybe that is where the lack of understanding comes from.
          Callazo was a "bum" as you put it. So in essence he just made him look normal. What cause he beat Victor Ortiz "the actor" all of the sudden he's hot ****? Victor Ortiz was a "bum" to begin with. What cause he had a FOTY against that other "bum" Berto he was still something 3 years and 3 losses later.

          Khan king of the bums by triangle theory...

            As well as enjoying his spot in the top 5 of the P4P list on top of his 3rd multi-million dollar payday. Khan will get there one day, he may be RJJ's age when it happens but as long as he keeps his head up, he will prevail.

                  Khan was a millionaire as a teenager, kid. Bradley's been playing catch-up.

                    Entertaining popular fighter. He can be in that lowest in the top ten.
