It was a solid test for Khan moving up to WW and I think he did as good as could be expected against a very crafty vet like Collazo.
I'd like to see Khan in there with one of the younger WW talents. A match with Porter, Thurman, Brooks, ect would be fantastic.
I think the WW division is very strong right now.
Has Khan improved from his last performance at welterweight? Is he bigger, better and stronger?
He has... he hadn't faded... plus he chose his shots a bit better, didn't go for the ko and decided to be patient- and if the ko came, it came. Which is a vast improvement from the ass-part Khan that left himself open and took shots in the exchanges. Resulting in vicious ko's or knockdowns.Quote:

He spent most of the fight going backwards and looking to counter and he clinched every time he could. Khan would get blasted out by somebody like Porter or Thurman[/QUO
Exactly! Collazo was fighting two guys in there...Khan and a ref who refused to enforce the rules. And yet some people are ridiculing Collazo for having his hands down?! Khan will be tasting the canvas again soon. Some of you on this board need to get off his nuts.
If Khan doesn’t hold, as he showed in spots during the Collazo fight, he still has near no idea what to do on the inside, outside of trying to smother. People are going to buy into this being a "new" Khan...but watch him get timed and hurt again.
Collazo is a fucking idiot. He fought with his hands all night even though he was taking a beating. After every round he was talking shit to Khan. Muthafukka you're getting your ass kicked. Shut the fuck up. And he fucking complained to the ref about everything. Fucking pussy
You were really wasted, watch it again. If you still have the same opinion then you have clearly had an accident whilst wasted. If you really think Khan spent most of the night going backwards you may need to go to a brain injury unit. :-\Quote:
