I think Collazo is gonna work Khan!

Garcia's the lineal at 140lb...not a bad loss to have. Especially considering Khan was outboxing the living shitt out of Garcia. Let's see how great Khan's fundamentals are this time around.

And there are a lot worse Eurotards than Khan

 

Wait are you talking about the same fundementals that lured him into the left hook counter range of Danny Garcia? :huh

How do you outbox someone when you fall right into their trap? Clearly Danny wasnt trying to initiate an attack from a wide distance. He had the chin and the patience to pick his spots those counter hooks where edging closer and closer every minute even a novice would notice. Khan has good natural ability and the misinterpetation preturbs me on this site because we can't seperate good fundementals from good natural ability here. Khan has knowledge of the game though it goes out the window because he's so concerned with the visuals and "looking" like a the ring general that he fails to notice some of the most basic tatics being employed right before his eyes.

 

If Collazo can time Khan he can KO him. Khan just throws pitter pat punches at his opponents gloves. He has no power. With Khan's Glass Jaw all he has to do is time him and it is game over.

Khan has no Chin, no power, and no ring IQ. None.

 

Funny thing is, Khan does bad against bad fighters. Toe to toe guys are so scary to him because of his chin. Give Khan a technical guy who picks his punches and works his jab, and the majority of the time he kicks their ass.

 

It has happened too many times. The natural fights were Berto-Mayweather and Broner-Mayweather, not Ortiz-Mayweather or Guerrero-Mayweather or Maidana-Mayweather. BS fights r stinking much so Collazo won't pull it off, there's no way he can outjab, outspeed, outpunch or outhink/work Khan. Khan is the most competitive opponent for Floyd b'sides Canelo Alvarez and Pacquiao out there.

 

I disagree, convential wisdom reveals the obvious which is what you have pointed out though I do beleive you are overrating Khans ability to consistantly employ his distinct advantages. Collazo, while limited, has always shown a good level head and consistancy, he can stick to a game plan here and that's the difference maker. I'm not making a prediction here but Khan's flaws are the kind you must correct if your ever going to even get remotely close to the top of his apparent potential.

 

Well said, I definitely agree.

I don't like how people will often overrate a fighter's skills simply because he has speed, and underrate those without it, or because they are more "basic".

 

Its all about esthetics bro, people find speed and flash magnetic. I love watching a fighter with great natural ability...who dosent...however, that being said watching a fighter grind out a strategy to perfection is so much more gratifying for me, it means hard work good strategy and determination acutally pays off at the end.

 

I'm pretty excited tbh

I think this fight is going to be awesome, its intriguing all around...a classic sort of match up two dude at the crossroads literally. :bbb

 

Collazo has taken both Ricky Hatton for the WBA WW title he once owned, Sugar Shane in a WBC eliminator and Andre Berto to the limit with his slick southpaw style and therefore I have to agree with his consistency thoughout. But b'sides sticking to the game plan and not goin overboard he really has not shown anything special, at least of the sort of skillset and sharpness and handspeed that Khan has even if he lacks consistency sometimes. Basically I think he's consistent enough when he has to such as against Maidana. The problema is that he was caught off guard by Prescott and lately by Garcia and you can't live in torment by that or by the robbery in DC. I guess these were as much as flukes as Ortiz having been caught as he got squared up and perfectly tagged by Collazo.
