Khan was 161lbs last night which means he was DEFFO weight drained at 140...

    Khan proved that he is a big 147 fighter, and even with signs of a little gassing due to bit of ring rust (last fought 13 months ago) Khan schooled an awkward south paw at his debut at 147.. and dropping him 3 times on the way..

    With sticking to a gameplan and not getting into a brawl Khan made it simple and quite easy in the end..

    Hunter work is starting to show, Khan was a game fighter last night with a few tricks which you need to use in order to win at all costs.

    Good improvements, still only 27 Khan can improve even more under Hunter..

    Looked good at 147 didn't he.

    Strong, fast, sharp and powerful.

    I've said for a long time, I'm a fan of Brook but I think Khan would take him apart.

    Yep I loved them straight rights he was throwing, bang on the money each time, he looked strong and big in there, bigger than Collazo who must of thought, this guy is massive..

    Khans footwork played a massive part in his performance. Pivoting away from shots rather than moving back in straight lines. Something you see Amir & Virgil often working on in training. Khan looked a new fighter at 147.

    I seen first hand what Virgil and amir were working at in the gym and last night it worked to a tee
    Amir has such speed he could afford to move to his right to land his right which the text book says you shouldn't,very good performance

    Was the best I have seen Khan fight.. Kept waiting for the usual tear ups but no calm and collected. He's ready for Mayweather and will have a very good chance

    It's a good job he's brought his speed up with him because his power doesn't seem good imo.

    He was fighting a guy who's only gameplan was to walk in straight lines with his hands by his side looking for one big punch and whilst Khan put him down 3 times beside the bodyshot I don't think Collazo was ever hurt.

    There's more trying fights out there at 147 for Mr Khan.

    put him down 3 times, yh his power is terrible :patsch

    near to the top level you don't knock knock people down 3 times with no power

    a guy no power at 140/147 is ADRIAN BRONER

    Was a good performance but the only people for him to fight are Maidana, Thurman and Porter

    He gets knocked out by all 3
