If Khan were in the form he was when he dominated Malinaggi n Judah then he'd be the favorite to beat Collazo. Khan's speed still may carry him to victory, but 140 lb Hatton found out once that Collazo is no pushover and 147 is a big weight class.

Shit chin at 135, decent-ish chin at 140, who knows at 147....who knows?
Khan is a good boxer with fast hands, but you've got to be able to connect and Collazo makes that difficult
I like the fight :p good test for Khan at 147 and Collazo bring a little momentum/ name value ;D Khan wins he puts his name forward, Collazo wins and his deserved recognition continues ;)
Call me nuts, I think Collazo is every bit as fast of hand as Khan??? I think he can get a win over Khan.
effective countering and speed will beat collazo
I'll wager that Luis knocks Khan out. Khan will be a betting favourite because nobody knows who Collazo is. I think he's been one of the most underrated boxers in the welter division for years and one of the most avoided. He reminds me a bit of Winky and not just because he's a southpaw. Unfortunately that difficult style is probably why nobody knows who he is.
Haymon never hired Collazo to fight Khan. He's using Khan to help Collazo. Collazo was signed just before the announcement was made concerning Broner. I'm sure the same message was sent to Khan concerning Collazo that was originally sent to him concerning Broner. Collazo for his part will most likely get 7 figures for the first time in his career and a chance also at the holy grail.
Ooh, terrible fight for Khan to make, but I would love it to happen. Collazo deserves to shine with 2 straight stoppages over the bigmouths.
collazo is a good fighter, and despite some of your comments this is no easy fight for khan. if i had to pick, i would go with collazo!!! khan is brave, but he is damaged goods with a suspect chin. luis will catch him right in the piehole!!!
