    I felt like he didn't want the fight, never mind the venue....

    Sounded like it's Al Haymon's idea...

    Disappointing choice of opponent. Algieri is perfect for Khan, a boxer with no power at all. Another cherry pick to keep that chin safe. It's going to be a glorified sparring session.

    Haymon has given hope to a delusional Khan of securing a Floyd fight at the end of 2015 OR Pacquiao

    that is what happened. :patsch

    No need to earn fights under Haymon he just gives them to you

    This is the most appropriate fight for Khan to take, a featherfisted JWW that in all honestly wasn't even a top 10 JWW. This is an excellent choice. I hope the cage gets opened on this one.

    Yeah okay. So its ducking on Khan part but its a promotional issue with Pacquiao? Nice

    Algieri isn't even a 147 fighter, he went up for the Pacman payday which you can't blame him, alsio fighting Khan for the payday and again can't blame him.

    Khan should be fighting at worst a Diego Chaves. This is undefendable IMO. ****ing ****.

    Those who thought it was ok for Pacquiao to fight Algieri shouldn't be too mad about this fight

    Nobody thought it was ok, people are re writing history to suit their agenda

    to quote myself from a previous thread

    He again opted in for the safe option. I'm looking forward to see him grow some ***** and fight one of these (and get knocked out).

    Well I thought that Pacquiao fighting Algieri was outrageous and I think this is a bad fight too but I'm sure there were many people who were Pacquiao loyalists who defended the choice of opponent

    If Khan loses it would be hilarious. At 147 and with a new trainer Algieri might actually do rather well.
