    Seriously, his last fight was boring as hell!

    Hunter hasn't don't **** for his boxing style, he fights the same exact way he always fought.

    The refree is Khan best fweapon in the boxing ring, because when the ref allow him to hold after every exchange, push the other fighter with both hands fully extended, and the worst thing he does is lay on the back of the other fighters head.

    I will admit that Khan is fast as hell and powerful but he has no boxing skills. If people disagree with me, then ask your self this one question.

    If Khan is such a good boxer, then why do he hold, push or lay on the back of the other fighters neck the entire fight?
    Why does Khan appear to run away from his oppenent when using the ring?

    Entertainment is not equal to quality, you obviously dont know that, if it was boring for you cool but he boxed very well, much better and smarter than I for one though he can.
    He didnt fight the way he always fights at all, honestly YDKSAB, go watch unskilled brawlers for entertainment...

    Man lets both be honest, he fouled his way to a victory. He is not unskilled but he does lack boxing skills because when ever a fighter hold after every exchange or kump on the back of the other fighters neck, then he is trying to conceal skills that he lacks.

    I love the pure science, BOXING! MAnny Pacman is a great boxer and FMJ. Do they hold, yeah occasionally. But Khan holds after every exchange.

    Remember the fight with Lamont Peterson, Khan look really good against him in the first half of the fight when the judge allowed him to continue to foul Peterson, but just as soon as the judge started taking points from Khan, he got his ass beat because he wasn't used to fighting by the rule book. I think in the perterson fight, he push and held Peterson like 88 times.

    If you call Khan preformance boxing, then you disrespect real Boxer like FMJ, Manny, James Toney, JMM, Tim Bradley, Gamboa, and etc.

    He showed great speed and power, but he fouled so much in the fight it almost put be to sleep. I guess thats how fighter overseas fight, look at the Klitchkos , those guys hold and lay on the top of the fighters every fight and never is deducted a point.

    Is it khan doing that though or is it opponents ducking low and trying to come in leading with their head ? watching the collazo fight collazo appears to be ducking and tangling himself under khans arms.

    Ducking is not against the rules, when you lower your head below the fighters beltline is when it is illegal.

    Question for you, if you watch Khan last 10 fights, he does it to everybody. So it is impossible for me to beleive his last ten fighters all fight the same and like to lower their head below the other fighter waist.


    I think that is Khan excuse for fouling.

    So what youll are telling me is that Luis Collazo, Jolio Diaz, Carlos Molina, Danny Garcia, Lamont peterson, Zab Judah, Maidana, and Barrera all have the same fighting style. They duck and lead with their head. It is about six different fighting styles from the names listed above. I have actually seen fights where Perterson, Garcia, Maidana and Barrera didn't hold at all through out the entire fight. But somehow when people fight Khan, they all put their head down and ljump towards him?

    Collazo fought with his hands down the whole damn fight and looking for one punch. Khan still was making the same mistakes, but Collazo didn't capitalize on them. Put Khan in with, Porter, Thurman, Guerrero, Karass, Maidana or Garcia again and he gets ktfo. Khan always gets exposed when he steps up wit the Top guys in the division that he campaigns in.

    People who aren't giving Khan credit clearly don't have an eye for boxing.

    Khan shut Collazo down. It's not that Collazo did ****...Khan just controlled him with everything Virgil has been teaching him. His ring movement has improved 10 fold. He controls his range perfectly and understands how to avoid getting caught when an opponent gets inside or gets in range.
    Khan has earned his right to hold lol.

    Miniq, what part of boxing is holding all the time? What part of boxing is jumping/laying on the other fighter neck after every exchange?

    what part of boxing is that?

    The ref was a disgrace. Well picked ref by GBP, should be sacked on face value though, I thought the ref was too obvious, next time he'd best not make it so obvious - because if boxing is remotely serious about corruption, he could find himself in the ****.

    On Khan's performance, I think Collazo's actions basically sum it up.
    Out of frustration with the ref, Collazo fought back the only way he could - by defiantly mocking Khan and exposing him to the fans for what he is, a chinless figher with no power. Collazo still nearly KO'd him, I thought it was a gutsy performance by Collazo to not just walk out the ring and call it a night.
