    At the moment the poll is at 9/4 in favour of the fight.

    I honestly don't see why. It seems Khan has people convinced despite his recent failings and poor opposition.

    The Collazo performance changed my opinion on this fight. Before hand I had no interest in Khan fighting Mayweather didn't see at as being even remotely competitive for more than a few rounds.

    Now I'd like to see how this improved Khan would do. But I still want him to beat a top contender to earn his shot rather than try and talk his way into a fight.

    It's relevant as it's being bandied about still.

    I don't see how he's improved either. Still seems same old Khan to me.

    I am an admitted hater though and try to be impartial but I just can't justify the fight in any way. Look at his two wins before Collazo. Weak to me.

    Khan's performance was over shadowed by his clinching. He clinched unnecessarily at times. There was one point where Collazo was on wobbly legs against the ropes and could've been finished, he wasn't throwing back. Khan decided to stop punching and clinched. FOR NO F'ING REASON! But I've never really found Khan impressive anyway.

    Don't really care. Khan did better and Floyd did worse than expected a couple weeks ago, but I still barely give Khan a snowball's chance in hell.

    No. Khan hasn't changed much under Hunter, it's simply that Collazo gave a subpar effort with a terrible gameplan to boot, and Khan was allowed to hold and foul Collazo repeatedly. Khan still has a flashy, but sloppy offense and is still there to be hit if you can time him. And if you hit him, he doesn't take it well. It's the one reasonable Floyd fight where I would bank on Floyd getting a stoppage win.
