    Matthysee couldn't stop Zab Judah but Khan did...

    Neither Provo nor PAC could put Algeri sway and neither had to worry about return fire.

    Khan's only shot at a KO is to go downstairs early n often but that's all he'll be thinking is how easily Chris was put down by PAC with his flurries.. So my guess is Khan wins a wide UD while tasting the canvas himself once or twice

    Chris Algieri has a lot in common with Lamont Peterson and Breidis Prescott: he's a tall, rangy jabber who can keep Khan at bay.

    Remember what the late, great Vernon Forrest said after he beat Shane Mosley: "All you need to beat a guy with great handspeed is a good jab".

    I'm picking Algieri on points because I don't think he has the power to stop Khan. However, Khan has a glass jaw, and a KO is not out of the question no matter who the opponent is.

    Khan.

    Stoppage or Decision, either way dominant performance and still a poor choice of opponent.

    Same with Thurman & Collazo.

    I like your optimism.

    But Algieri is a C class fighter who is in for his last big payday.

    I won't even bother staying up to watch this, that's how poorly I rate this fight.

    What time is it on in the UK? Weird to see Khan fight on a Friday.

    You see people say that, but I think Algieri is far better than Broner who Khan may well have ended up fighting. And that fight would've been welcomed with open arms

    Lucas could have stopped him too if he'd repeatedly punched him in the nuts like Khan did.:deal.....and Cotto. Zab's nuts have taken a real beating haven't they.:lol:

    LOL, it wasn't a low blow. Judah quit because he couldn't handle Amir

    If i wake up for a **** and its about 2:30-3AM i'll go downstairs and watch, but in all likelihood i will wake up in the morning to read about Khan winning a one sided UD.
