    Not many people would be able to take a flush full power Garcia left hook...

    Hasn't managed to land a similar left hook on any other fighter excluding fat old Morales since.

    After 6 rounds as shown in the Peterson fight Garcia starts to weaken. If Khan can avoid him for 6-8 rounds it's all over for Danny.

    UD for Khan in a rematch. Wouldn't lose a round.

        People want to build him up to be a legit threat to Mayweather so he can be validated as Floyd's final opponent (allegedly) in September. Floyd would school him pretty easily and may actually drop him a few times. It's either Khan, Garcia or GGG if he drops to 154. Khan is presumably the softest touch out of the 3 guys.

        If GGG drops to 154, Floyd gets little credit for a win because GGG would be drained.

        Garcia moves up to 147 and Floyd gets little credit because Danny Boy had to move up in weight and he was just too slow.

        So Amir "what's a chin?" Khan it is.

Now he's going to survive and beat 'the puncher/offensive fighter' of the era? Based on what his performance against luis Collazo
            In his last 10 fights, Collazo has KO'd 5 fighters. In his last 10 fights, Pacquiao has KO'd 0 fighters. Pacquiao is obviously past his prime and has lost much of his punching power over the years. As of now, Collazo is a bigger puncher than Pacquiao.

            That doesn't necessarily mean Khan beats Pac though. Some months back, Khan said he considers Pac a stylistically tougher fight for him than Mayweather. But that depends on how much punching power Pac still has left in him. The fight could go either way.

              But who had Collazo been knocking out? His last KO was against Degollado who already had 3 losses out of 15 fights and was KO'd in his fight before Collazo.

              Ortiz ate one punch and then just took a knee and quit. It's not like he was devastated from the power, he just gave up because his heart and mind are no longer with boxing.

              Callist already had 8 prior losses heading into the Collazo fight, 6 by KO.

              Gonzalez had 4 KO losses out of 9 total losses heading into his Collazo bout.

              Jordan also had 4 KO losses out of 5 total losses heading in the Collazo bout.

              As you can see all of these guys were prone to KO defeats throughout their careers. People are saying that Tapia lost because he has feather fists and can't hurt his opponents....well he also KO'd Gonzalez mentioned above...if that counts for anything.

              I'm pretty sure Pac would mow through Collazo's last 10 opponents fairly easily as these guys aren't anywhere near the "elite" level.

                  Good Question! I don't get it either

                  I think most know Khan would lose to Mayweather, I think the Build Up is what his supporters want to be apart of. Not even his supporters but the Great UK Boxing Media and guys who do a better job covering the sport than a lot of the Arrogant American Boxing Media.

                  I think they just want to be apart of a Mega Event! Also it is a Major Economy Boost when Mayweather name is attached to it.

                      Your right - 100%

                      Khan has been avoiding punchers since Garcia.

                      All the Khan fan boys saying Khan UD's Garcia in a re-match?

                      WTF? Khan didn't last 4 rounds SMH.

                      Sometimes the Khan army forget that boxing involves the taking of punches AND the giving of punches.
