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.
