    Styles make fights and Algieri definitely proved that he belongs there. Bad/mediocre fighters don't perform the way these two did.

    Khan looks good when his opponents are over the hill, featherfisted former champions

    The fact that Khan relies almost exclusively on his speed. His fundamentals are poor, as is his defense. He also can't fight on the inside, and doesn't do that well on the back foot.

    Algieri is still an unknown quantity all I know is a lot of people will be eating crow if Algieri goes on to beat xyz.

    People seem to have forgot that Algieri was landing his right at will on pacman too.

    So it's fair to say Algieri is going to land on your favourite fighter all night too.

    Khan is an overrated hypejob who looks like **** when he isn't fighting tailor made opponents... Heck he was supposed to be all wrong for Algieri, and was only able to win by the skin of his teeth. Khan is extremely overrated and not an elite fighter.

    Algieri is that good. Just because Pacquiao easily beat him does not diminish his skill. Pacquiao is the greatest fighter of this generation so losing to him doesn't mean much.

    Also, Khan is not on that pedestal he thinks he is but he is good.

    Give Chris his credit. He deserves that. Algeri can box, period. He just lacks power..... But his grit and determination makes up for his lack of pop.

    I think you meant to say that Mayweather is the best of this generation.
