    Collazo is shot and ****. He'd barely scrape into the top 20 in the WEAKEST division in boxing.

    Collazo had no respect for Khan and thought he could just land one shot and that would be it. Fought like an idiot with no game plan.

    Khan proved he looked strong at the weight and that he's starting to implement some of the things hunter is telling him. Slower but more accurate footwork, staying of the ropes, a bit more upper body movement and the one time he took a decent shot that stung him he got his defences together to regroup and then found a way to buy time. The negatives were that he was holding way to much and he will loose more points. He needs some infighting ability. Even if its a simple combo he can rattle of sometimes - a couple of touch shots before the clinch.

    Hes slowly making the step back up in to the world scene. Collazo normally is unlucky against the top tier fighters (hatton, berto) he had done well in last fight and Khan spanked him. (Collazo did make it easy) for those saying Khan has no power at the weight. Well 3 kockdowns the short right hand and body shots were good kinda puts that theory out the way. Hes not a massive puncher but he has enough to put dents in people.

    Another step up in class next time out and he's as ready as he ever going to be probably. He wont beat Mayweather he still lunges and windmills in but I think for the first time against Maidana Floyd wasn't always on his A game. He took a few straight rights clean in the 5th and wasn't always orgaised so maybe Khan can win a round or 2.

    as always with Khan you want to give him credit but he does one good win against questionable opposition at the new weight then goes back to trying to get a payday

    waiting for him to take on the big guns in this weight, but it just wont happen

    he will wait for a Dec match up against Mayweather which wont happen and it will prob be this time next year before he looks for a plan B, once again looking for the opponent he is most likely to look good against... assuming it doesnt all go wrong again

    thats what is frustrating

    before the khan vs collazo fight:

    collazo will KO him
    collazo is wearing reyes, he is going to lay khan flat out
    collazo will end amere con

    after the khan vs collazo fight:

    how is this is a good win for khan?
    is collazo even in the top 10?
    collazo is a bum

    Khan hasn't improved at all! He is exactly the same in every fight; fast flurries, usually thrown while off balance, constant holding and pushing. Pac would knock him out and Mayweather would counter him to death.

    It proves beyond any doubt that despite what the papers says he was not wanking in to a webcam for the 50 or so minutes he was in the ring.
