khan v collazo

[Fenster]

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.

[zhubin]

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.

This is a tough ass fight to call imo. Any fight is tough to call but this one especially.


I want to say that its hard for me to see Khan going up to Callozo's weight class and winning this. Also Callozo is a good counter puncher and masterful boxer.


The Callozo Mosley fight comes to mind. The reason why is because if Khan is going to give Callozo trouble it will be with his speed.


Callozo landed some nice shots against Mosely. Can Khan take those punches? Also, I don't think Kahn as the overall speed and footwork of the prime Mosley that fought Callozo.


On the other hand I think Khan overall puts more snap on his punches than Mosley does.


Tough fight to call but I have to go with Collazo. I feel with Collazo's style he is still in his prime and maybe better than ever.

I agree. Mosley was still so phenomenal at this stage tho imo that's its easy to forget he was already around 32 years old when he was fighting Winky Wright and 35 when fighting Collazo.


Honestly, I think the Collazo fight was the last fight were we seen any of the real Mosley. He still wasn't Prime Mosley but nonetheless fast with great movement.


I think Cotto and on we stopped really even seeing flashes of "the real Mosley". I don't even think we seen in the Margarito fight. He just didn't move like Mosley period by this time.

[ono]

To be fair to Collazo, He broke his hand in the Mosley fight if I remember correctly. He did it early on aswell in the second round. He was doing very well up until then. He had started very brightly.

[Fenster]

5/1!!! That's a max bet job. Not surprised it didn't last long
