    Exactly. That's the joke. If he gets out of the cage he probably gets KO'd. Otherwise, I'd expect Khan to win a UD if he stays in the cage.

    :lol:

    Despite being a huge Khan fan and knowing that Amir simply has to stop Chris if he is to have any chance of securing the Mayweather fight (which I think he will, via round 9-12 stoppage) your post was funny.

    I don't believe that Amir could ten count ko Algieri, but I do believe that he could tko/ref stoppage him. I believe that Amir will drop Chris (who has shown to be very tough and game) and the ref may just (ahem) "intervene, to save Chris from further punishment".

    Algieri will show power he has not shown before, he himself will have a stunned, surprised look on his face whist he is dropping Khan numerous times and then after stopping Khan. Algieri KO after 3 or 4 kd's round 6.

    I don't suppose you or anyone else who picked Algieri fancies a ban bet? It can be for whatever length of time you's wish. Sign up. :bbb

    :rofl:rofl Khan wins every round in a fight as dull as watching paint dry, i'm just having a bit of fun, i would do a ban bet if Khan fights a puncher again though, maidana, Brook, Thurman etc.

    Khan by UD is my vote. A stoppage won't surprise me.

    Khan wins an unanimous decision in an ugly ass fight.

    Brook is a boxer puncher more-so than he is a pure puncher. He has power but he's not fully aggressive with it. I'd pick Khan to beat Brook based on his style. Khan would lose or be seriously troubled against all-out aggressors like Porter, Maidana...etc. Brook tends to wait a lot and counter. That will leave Khan comfortable to use his speed to its fullest and out land Brook. The only way I see Brook winning is if he catches a reckless Khan cold with a counter. I can't see that happening though because Khan is clearly more cautious in there than he used to be.

    You are correct about Brook, but i believe Brook will go in the ring with the intention of hurting Khan and that excites me, you have guys like Devon and Algieri who are not trying to take Khan's head off, Khan is in exciting fights with guys who want to hurt him.

    Expect Khan on points. Wouldn't be suprised with Khan stoppage.

    Algieri winning would surprise me. His best bet is KO. Not a chance he UDs Khan imo.

    I disagree, Brook is a boxer puncher, but has very good timing- which imo is more troubling to Khan than a wild aggressive style. He's also a very big WW who would be quite a bit bigger than Khan on fight night I expect.

    I think he'd catch Khan coming in with a flurry.

    I agree Khan is way less reckless these days, but we've yet to see him very hurt since moving to Hunter. I'd expect him to revert to type if Kell can land hard and clean enough.

    Either way, it's a great fight that hopefully we get to see down the road.
