    I don't hate the guy, but when someone says that a fight is a one sided drubbing, that was not expected... I tend to look at both fighter's performances. It's just makes sense for me. I've seen a lot of improvements for khan, in footwork and a reduction in reckless brawling..without sacrificing hand speed and that's great. I can't just close the book because collazo was not the callazo he typically was before. Its not because of khans style that collazo starting looking to bomb khan out (when he's not even known a puncher) nor was its khans hand speed that caused collazo to drop his hands like a moron. If anything the old collazo would have kept his hands up more and shoulders and few of those and tried to counter.
    If you have a pitcher with 125mph fastball and he strikes someone out. You wouldn't be surprised at any name being that batters name. But if you have a guy with 70mph fastball and he pitches a no hitter.... you'd want to know what team he was playing... Its nothing against Khan. you cant blame him for Collazo being an idiot. however it does detract from his victory to a have a previous slick fighter all of sudden follow him around the ring like a punching bag. Thats just me though, i'm known for being cynical.

    i agree. i think that its hard for people to admit that somebody just had a good performance. khan obviously destroyed collazo and he didnt do much wrong during the fight. you cant really expect much more out of his performance.

    I have always been of Khan the fighter rather than Khan the man who can be verbally very clumsy, cringe worthy and hypocritical. He has a bit of growing up to do but in the ring the guy turns up to fight every time. The ridiculous notion posted by someone here that he is a pot shotting coward reveals a lot more about the poster and a lot less about the boxer. I can respect and understand other people's frustration with what at times seems like excessive holding but you can not highlight that whilst ignoring the borderline tactics employed by his opponents or the good work that he does in throwing great combinations and knowing when to try and close the show. On Saturday he repeatedly landed some textbook punches and did his best when Collazo was hurt to try and wind it up and finish his opponent. Khan has his vulnerabilities and he is droppable so he will always have people on the edge of their seat but it is not his fault if he chooses to play to his strengths and win fights rather than go toe to toe and suffer consecutive TKO's. For some people a Khan win will always be a disappointment however it is achieved.
