Premier Boxing Champions: Amir Khan vs. Chris Algieri RBR

:rofl superb

I'd fancy most of the top 10 WW's to knock Khan out based on what I just witnessed.

I understand now why he turned down a career high payday, a world title shot against Brook. It wouldn't last long, basically as long as it take a brook to land a right hand.

 

Khan was exposed tonight dude. He did the stanky leg multiple times and Algieri's left hook landed frequently. Mayweather is one of the best counterpunchers with the best timing. Khan could barely adjust to Algieri. Mayweather would mop the floor with him, I'm sorry.


Also, hoping for Mayweather to look "old overnight" against Khan is making the same mistake when people thought he'd look "old overnight" against Pacquiao.

Khan's chin is too glassy and Mayweather is too crafty.

 

Sounds good to me:good

 

Wind it in IB, NO stylistic advantage? what about the volume? He has exactly the same advantages that Pacquiao just had! Pac still took rounds based on VOLUME. Judges can't score every round for Floyd anymore, his work rate is too low. If you can't see that Khan is one of the men to AVOID in the division for Mayweather then I don't know what to say to you really, it's glaringly obvious to me.

 

No way in hell Khan would have any chance against Bradley, Thurman or Brook let alone Mayweather or Pacquiao. I'd say he should go back to 140 but can you imagine those shots landing from Matthyse or Provodnikov?

 

Pacquiao wasn't a volume puncher against Mayweather. The only time he unleashed was when Mayweather was on the ropes which came far and few between. He pretty much tried to counter in the center of the ring and land flurries on the ropes. Thing is, Khan would never get close enough to Mayweather to unleash on him. Same as Pacquiao.

Also, if Khan has the same advantages as Pacquiao...and Pacquiao lost...shouldn't that tell you something? :huh

 

:happy:happy:happythumbsup:thumbsup

 

IB, I agree with that.. I still think it's the fight that sells best.

Thurman, Bradley, Porter, Brook, Matthyse.. all better fights.. but Khan is the one that sells.

I'm tired of Cotto.. a rematch isn't needed... and I don't need, nor want to see Floyd move up another real weight class.. he's not big enough.

The Khan is a great swan song fight.. he'll get a KO over a "name" to end his career.

 

Answer me the very simple question: Why did a one dimensional, one-handed (and sub-par on the night) Pacquiao just take MULTIPLE ROUNDS off the 'immaculate' Mayweather then?

I am in no way saying Floyd would let a potential Khan match up slip away from him and I would heavily favour Mayweather to start timing Khan and use his superior technique and timing to win by say 2-4 rounds but lets not go mad and suggest it would be more than that. Floyd ain't looking any better against Khan than he would fighting numerous other fighters in and around the weight class right now. Hence, he is going nowhere near Khan.
