I rate Guerrero, who I'd favour to beat almost all of GBP 140-147 stable (Maidana, Garcia, Thurman, Broner, Alexander, Matthysse, Porter, Malignaggi, etc) with the exception of Khan, who will prove to be too fast.
guerreros power might not be enough to crack khans chin. but guerrero is deff gunna try n rough him up and if khan has the right gameplan and skills he should be able to avoid all that n win a decision. whos devon alexander fighting in november?
I don't think Khan will be as worried about Guerrero's power as much as Collozo. He hasn't had a KO in 4 and a half years and that was at lightweight against a journeyman who already been stopped a few times.
Khan also had no business getting dropped and repeatedly hurt by Julio Diaz, either. But it happened.
Collazo barely KO's anyone and the only two he has recently was a bum and glass jawed Ortiz which Ortiz jumped Pac style into, where as Robert's comp level has been higher caliber and all have decent chins. Robert probably hits harder than Collazo they have the same number of KO's.
Who else has KO'd ortiz with a single punch, Maidana couldn't, berto couldn't yet collazo could. Ortiz jumping in like pacquiao is just totally false, he was countered in the pocket by a short left hook, they were both stationary. Actually Roberts calibre of opponents is only slightly better because of the Mayweather fight. His best are 40 year old Casamayor, war torn Katsidis, Aydin lol, and a ruined Andre berto along with Floyd. Collazo has fought a prime hatton, a decent Shane Mosley who came of the tko vs Vargas, an undefeated confident Andre berto. I don't think Guerrero has power to hurt khan, he hasn't shown it.
Ortiz quit again he could have gotten up. Ortiz was being a reckless bull in a china shop like he always is, and got caught with a good counter because of it. Collazo fought them a long time ago, Guerrero has far more left in his tank than Luis. Khan didn't look great against Diaz or Collazo, Guerrero is a lot better than people want to give him credit for.
1. So Guerrero loses credit for Katsidis and Berto being "shot," yet Ortiz being "shot" couldn't possibly factor into the difference of Collazo KO'ing him with one shot while Maidana and co. couldn't half a decade before? Hmm... Interesting take. 2. You listed Roberts' recent wins, not his best wins. Way to ignore everything he did at 126-130. 3. You say Collazo fought a "prime Hatton" yet I'm guessing you will say Floyd didn't fight a "prime Hatton" and nowhere close because it was at WW. Well, Hatton/Collazo was also at WW. 4. I'm glad you think Berto was "confident" back then. What would we all do without your opinion of his mental state. --- Hide your agenda a little better or at least don't use words and cite things that you are surely a hypocrite of.
exactly my point that was a different time. he was trying to adapt to virgil's style... caught between 2 styles... not even fighting at 147 yet.... look at the difference between weigh ins http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Amir+Khan+Amir+Khan+v+Julio+Diaz+e4mFaqtJkBzl.jpg vs http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/05/02/article-0-1D88995300000578-929_634x468.jpg
I do get that. I really do. But the negatives of that fight are far too glaring to ignore... First of all, he wasn't facing a WW force and some people will say that draining Diaz 4 pounds is detrimental to his skills and some will even say it is a coward move and shouldn't even be given credit (I not being one of them), if they were consistent. Plus it was last year, not 3 years ago. That aged Julio Diaz is not someone you should be struggling with if you plan to fight an elite WW. You should not be getting floored and then knocked around the ring for a good several rounds and secure a very narrow points win over him if you plan to be given a serious chance at beating, hell, even 40 year old Marquez... let alone Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Bradley.
