Thread: khan v collazo

ive read on some boxing places that this is a miss match

i dont see it that way at all

most competitive fight of the night by a long long way

collazo is a world class fighter, beat a prime hatton in my opinion, seems to still have something left with the win over ortiz, has everything to fight for, times his punches very well, hits hard enough so it seems, it wouldnt surprise me at all if khan got knocked out in this one

Most people in the other thread think Collazo will win too. Was you reading the Amir Khan forum?

Yea the way I see it too. Khan is the favorite but certainly not a mismatch. If Khan is stronger and the weight and his chin is a lot better I suppose it could be very one sided but I think it will be a very tough fight for Khan. Hopefully the bookies see it as a mismatch because we might get a big price on Collazo.

Khan should be a big underdog.

He got beat by a lightweight last time. He has the worst chin in history. Hasn't fought for over a year. Never fought at 147. No bottle. Ducked Prescott rematch and was shamefully knocked out by the useless undefeated world champion Danny Garcia. No defence. No brain. Bit of a cunt. Never beat a world-class fighter. In fact he's the most pathetic overrated fighter ever. Should be tortured. Then shot.

Man! That is harsh, you must have lost big recently.
I can't agree to the torture. No way!

I think Collazo with be out boxed for long periods of the bout , however he has more than a chance with Khan's dodgy whiskers.
This Friday gone I was in a local restaurant and in walked Khan , he was eating like a horse , today Tuesday he is working out in the Bolton Gym . I don't think he struggles to make this weight at all.

This should be a good fight for as long as Khan don't hear "Sweet Chin Music".
This is just my opinion, skillset, I believe Khan have the 2nd best skillset after Mayweather. And I always thought Khan would be a GREAT challenge for Floyd. But Khan is fighting Collazo. And IMO, I think Khan is looking past him. He choose in what he thinks a High reward/Low risk fighter. Collazo have a name but clearly not the best opponent to prove himself to be worthy of a Floyd Mega Fight. And after watching Khan workout, Hunter is preparing Khan to fight Floyd's style. The shoulders roll and the movement to the right. Collazo is a different fighter and the wrong fight.

And the winner is Collazo

To bad Collazo won't get the Floyd fight in September!!!

I think when the first bell goes Khan is an obvious class apart from Collazo in speed and movement. Collazo looks like what he is, which is a late thirties guy who retired for two years, is making an unremarkable comeback and is basically a welterweight gatekeeper.

I think Collazo hangs in there though and eventually catches Khan with something substantial. At this point a fight breaks out and we actually get an exciting fight on a Floyd bill.

I do think Khan is basically done at the top level but Collazo isn't a top level guy. And Khan's fragility will ensure he's drawn into a brawl. I can see him adding another classic to his career sparking highlight reel in this fight.

Always liked Collazo, even before the Hatton fight. Quality operator that seemed not to love boxing enough to really chuck his all in to it. If I had to bet, I say he beats Khan, and via stoppage too..... Collazo does have nice timing, and thats what will beat Khan IMO.

Khan vs Ortiz would have been a more exciting fight for sure, and I bet that's what they had in mind. After Collazo beats Khan, then they can run Khan vs Ortiz, maybe for a Silver Belt.

Collazo opened at 5/1 with VC. I had a bit on that but still 7/2 which is too big for me. I think a fair price is around 5/2 maybe 9/4.

Biggest banana skin out there. Khan has some stupid advisors. Like both fighters so will be pleased for whoever wins but I see this is a pick em. Could go either way.

On paper...Khan should win this fight. But we all know that means nothing. Khan looked underwhelming against Diaz...he has been inactive for a while...and i could easily see a letdown for this fight with Floyd being on Khan's mind for so long.

That was very well spotted Sir. The 5/1 was only around for a few hours, wish I'd have seen it. Was hoping for 4/1+, would have been tasty to get 5s. Still given that its still 7/2 another book could easily go 4s but 5/1 is long gone.

Hope Khan wins but do not think he is ready for Floyd yet.
