A KO didn't matter. He showed that he is still a solid contender.
Many boxers are successful without being KO artists.
It was no secret anyway that Khan has "can't crack an egg" type power.
He's good to make do without it.

Khan may not have the punch power at welterweight at the top level but he does have the speed and height to cause the best fighters trouble.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Kahn impressed me tonight with his focus. Collazo is though, slick and cagey but just couldn't keep on track with Khan and kind of went to pieces.
Khan is pretty good at keeping southpaws boxed in.

I felt sorry for Collazo who was getting hugged and was constantly being leaned on. At the same time though, I don't think he fought an effective fight. He was constantly keeping his hands by his side and seemed to be relying on the one big shot. It could be argued that Khan is getting smarter, but John Ruiz doesn't get credit for it, so I don't see why Khan should. A bad chin is no excuse for cheating.
Funnily enough, I think still Amir Khan could outpoint Mayweather, but would get flattened by Maidana.

I agree with most of what you said, but I think he should had gotten the KO win over Collazo last night. If there was ever a boxer inviting a KO, it was Collazo. Following Khan around with his hands down, allowing himself to be grabbed and held, talking to the referee while Khan was throwing punches, throwing wild punishes that were missing by a foot or more and playing the fool.
I don't know what triggered his stupidity, maybe he saw Khan's speed and movement were too much and just went head hunting. Man, what a disastrous night for Collazo, the potential fight with Floyd vaporizes plus he puts on a display of unmatched stupidity!
