Again, better than Collazo. Khan is the kind of customer who is always "just looking" while distracting you from other shoppers and never fully commits to a real sale. Crawford would retire him.

I dunno how Khan does it? Ya know? Kinda talks himself right back into big money fights without doing fuck all for it. It's like his last brutal KO was just an accident.... Ya know!?
Khan should have been done from the Danny Garcia KO. But here we are again- With talks of, possibly, a multi-million dollar payday for him and probably gonna be the largest, single payday for Crawford to date if he takes it too.
This is EASILY a $5 mil fight for Crawford and about $4 for Khan- Maybe more both ways.
But let's see how he dispatches Collazo.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

Nothing announced yet?
Khan would hate to loose to Brook..I don’t see that fight happening.
I know nothing about Crawford. Hit hard?
Does Khan have a chance in this
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Crawford can switch between orthodox and southpaw with ease. He’s a very clever fighter with great technique that has not looked small when he’s gone up the weights. And for a skilled boxer, he’s also got that spiteful streak in him , which is why he is one of the best fighters in World Boxing at the minute.
And yes, he hits hard enough.
I know @Master had answered your question, but I thought I would try to give you a bit more than some copy and paste from the BBC Sport website.![]()

Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
Khan must be doing it to annoy Brook, nothing to do with actually winning the fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
A peak Khan, however you want to interpret that from a few years ago could have conceivably dragged this out with speed and elusiveness and made Crawford miss enough to have at least a chance of a narrow points decision. Khan circa 2019 could be stopped very early. Khan has clearly lost the edge that gave him a get out clause when faced with a dangerous opponent. TKO/KO for Crawford is the most likely outcome but I would not put it past Khan to drag one more performance out of the fire and at least make it entertaining and competitive for a few rounds. Unlikely though.
Just imagine if Khan wins..
A peak Khan would have still gotten destroyed by Crawford. Khan had a few decent wins during his career but nothing great. Maidana was far and away his best win. Khan was in top form that fight and barely pulled it out. Crawford would stop a prime Khan probably late. Khan may win a few rounds, but he would be a giant underdog.
Firstly..watch some fights!We've seen some oddities and craziness in the sport to declare total certainty but Crawford is one of the more diverse boxers and brutal finishers going today. Khan will have to box with him and he'll sit on the end of superb accuracy and speed from both sides. Crawford has an increasing cocky mean streak and if Khan makes the final bell I'll be shocked.
Amir Khan is letting skills deteriorate, says his trainer Virgil Hunter
Amir Khan does not do enough training between fights and is letting his skills deteriorate, says the British boxer's trainer Virgil Hunter.
Khan, 32, lost to WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in April when his corner controversially pulled him out after he received a low blow.
Crawford questioned whether the former world champion had "quit".
Asked if he would like Khan to retire, Hunter told BBC Sport he would give his fighter "the benefit of the doubt".
Hunter added: "I would like to see him commit to many training camps in between fights and to work on his weaknesses before he makes that final decision to really see if his skills are gone, or if he is just letting them lay in a pile and deteriorate slowly.
"He never has practice in between fights. He trains hard for 10 weeks but it's not enough."
Khan now has 33 wins and five defeats on a professional record spanning 14 years.
The 2004 Olympic silver medallist last held world titles in 2011, after overcoming stellar names such as Zab Judah, Marcos Maidana and Paulie Malignaggi as he became unified light-welterweight champion.
But after defeat at middleweight by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in 2016, Khan took 23 months away from competition and since returning had picked up two wins before his defeat by Crawford.
Following the loss to the talented American, 5 Live boxing analyst Steve Bunce praised Khan's heart but said he at times looked "awkward" and "should retire now".
"There's little things that he does that cause him to be out of sync," added Hunter.
"His timing is off. His distance is not where it should be. He doesn't have a sense of range and distance and those things are not due to age. That's from practice.
"His hand speed is still there but his sense of distance and range is not there and that's what he needs to work on."

Amir Khan 'set to take on MMA fighter in exhibition bout worth £7m'
Khan was beaten by world champion Crawford last month when he quit after failing to recover from a low blow
Amir Khan will reportedly net £7million from a boxing fight against a mixed martial artist.
The former world champion boxer was beaten by current king Terence Crawford last month.
Khan quit in the sixth round of his title challenge when he was caught with a low blow.
He opted not to take the full five minutes he was allowed in order to recover and his corner threw in the towel.
The report adds that the fight will be a boxing bout but with no judges or scorecard.
It will be similar to the one Floyd Mayweather took part in when he stopped kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in the first round in January.
An announcement is reportedly set for early next week.
Khan has long accepted he is coming to the end of his career and still has the option of fighting domestic rival Kell Brook.
But he appears set to take the easy money from this exhibition.
After losing to Crawford, Khan said: “I don’t want to end my career like that, I definitely don't.
"I want to spend time with family now and then see. But I’m 32 and I think I have a lot more in me. I love the sport like I always have.
“It’s not my last fight. No, not at all. Definitely man, you’ll see me again.”
Khan, now 32, insists he could still land another world title shot.
He added: “I will always have world title fights. I will always have opportunities to fight for world titles, so yeah, I think that will always be there.
“The Brook fight is always going to be there and I think it’ll still be there. I really believe that fight is there."
