Did Khan's performance show how weak of a puncher he is?

    I wasn't impressed by Khan's performance at all.

    Khan has a good bodypunch. Hurt Collazo with it, and dropped Maidana with it.

    he is an average puncher and wont be able to keep the top welters off him as he has shown in the past.

    Khan has average power at welter he have to rely on movement angles and defensive skill to see him through top level fights

    Collazo appeared to have very little respect for Khan's power.
    Amir looked to possess below average power. That being generous.

    khan has a wicked left hook to the body which he should use as his primary shot... he has hurt everyone with that and can hurt the other WWs with that shot too... quit the head hunting all the time and work on the body throughout the fight... thatll keep them off him...

    look at collazo's face... if khan had no power collazo wouldn't look like he's been in a war... hell he looks like he has been in a car accident

    he has average power. he swelled danny garcias face in 4 rounds more then mathysse did in 12. he swelled petersons face more then any other boxer peterson fought. collozo has only been dropped by 2-3 fighters ever. he also had him down 3 times. his power is underrated. not great, just average.

    This comment has no basis whatsoever.

    Collazo is a tough guy who hasn't been stopped. Amir knocked him down three times.

    On that basis you'd have to say Amir's power looks good at 147lbs, and it could just be because he's not draining himself too much at this weight. He feels right at this weight.

    Why do people care about power so much?

    Bradley has no power
    Alexander has nothing special power
    Khan has ok power

    Khan is a boxer...he doesn't need power to keep a guy off him.

    Bradley is pretty slick and has an iron chin
    Alexander is pretty slick and has an iron chin
    Khan is trying to become pretty slick and has an average chin..

    The only guy at Welter I would pick to knock Collazo out is Thurman, and that would not be an easy task.

    If Amir can keep the ref, he won't need power to keep other guys off him.

    I have no clue to be honest, collazos a nut who has a high tolerance for pain(his tattoo sweater is proof) so him walking towards khan hands down and just taking shots might say more about how tough he is than how weak khan is. For those arguing that khan packs a punch cus he put collazo down, I think it was more an accumulation.
