Keith wins. An interview will surface a month or so later where Keith criticises Amir Khan's welterweight opposition.....then Keith will fight Devon Alexander next.
Well Keith does have the real excuse of fighters actually ducking him. Meanwhile Khan owes Chris Algieri a rematch.
Keith got the chance to fight Devon Alexander and he didn't take it. In an interview at the Porter-Broner fight, Thurman started acting like Alexander was Khan's welterweight debut. Nope And does Khan owe everyone a rematch he beat by a pretty clear margin? Because if that's the case, Thurman owes Robert Guerrero a rematch too.
I'd like to see Guerrero Thurman 2 as well, I'd have no problem with that. Khan is one Brit you need to avoid hyping, it only ends up making you look bad.:!:
I'm not hyping him. But I've seen you pick every tom, richard and harry from bums like Broner all the way up to ATG's like Kell Brook and that's a damn lot of fighters and the truth is Khan will beat a lot more of them than he loses too. Did you not pick Alexander to beat him too, when Khan shut him out? You've fallen into the trap of letting your hate for Khan cloud your judgement of his ability like a lot of others on this forum.
No Khan sucks, but Alexander and Collazo happen to suck too and worse, finally he picked the wrong cherry and Chris gave him hell and that match should have rightfully been a draw IMO and IB's, if his opinion counts for anything. Khan will be KO'd the moment he gets in the ring with anyone who can punch harder than Chris Algieri.
I think your dislike for him makes you look for any reasons you can to not give him a round. Being that you scored it a draw I'm guessing the absolute maximum you could give Algieri including close rounds are 6, thus a fair observer will see some of the closer rounds for Khan to so Khan winning on points is the correct result. Plus in fights where you think one fighter has played it safe like you think Khan tried to do with this one, a bad habit I've notice a lot of people do (Mayweather v Maidana 1 being another good example of this) is score a round for a guy who did better than expected. And did he really pick the wrong cherry? After that fight I saw his chances of fighting Mayweather in September improve drastically being that Mayweather probably thinks its an easier fight now than he did after Khan v Alexander, being that he will be only earning about a quater of what he got for Pacquiao I doubt Floyd will take any unnecessary risks Khan has also been in the ring before when several people who hit harder than Algieri and wasn't KO'd in those fights.
I agree, this coming from a fan of both fighters. I spoke to Collazo after his TKO at Barclays center on the Garcia vs. Peterson undercard. I asked him what happened with Khan, he said he only had 3 weeks notice for that fight to train. He said if he gets the opportunity again, he will definitely rise to occasion. He is a tough customer. Well see how the fight unfolds.
I had it 6 rds. to 5 going into 12th round, and thought Khan edge out a spilt decision. He took a beating in that fight though, and based on the number of beatings he's received, I am not sure how long he has left in the sport. He has been beat up (regardless if he won or not) by: Prescott Maidana Peterson Garcia Diaz Alegeri
The Peterson fight should e overturned. 1. Khan nicked it 2. Khan was not fouling by pushing unless Peterson came into his chest head FIRST,in which the fouls are offset. 3. Hatman incident. Changed scoring in ppfavor of Peterson. 4. Peds. Which he admitted to.
