Exactly. Try telling people on here this FACT! Still a top top performance from king Khan but I think he did just about enough to not scare Floyd away, I hope anyway. And lest not forget that Khan won't be fighting backwards against Floyd as we all know who would be the one running around like a chicken
Khan can't defend against the overhand right. He is very unaware of what is coming at him. Algieir caught him with it over and over again.
Nothing "fishy" about it, Khan just isn't elite, never has been and never will be. Khan is good, I'm not saying he is a bad fighter but him and his fans hype him up to a level that simply isn't real, and when Khan gets battered by Garcia, beaten by Peterson, struggles with the likes of Julio Diaz and Algieri the excuses start. Now according to Khan fans Algieri is much better than people thought, even though for the last month we had them saying Khan would smash Algieri to pieces and look sensational, no, Khan just isn't as good as people think. Khan chose Algieri, Khan chose him so he could do a better job than Pacquiao and claim to be elite, he didn't, he failed in that sense and now he should be so far away from a Mayweather fight it will never happen.
I think the Algieri who faced Khan would lose to Manny in a closer contest. Algieri has great footwork with his kickboxing background. He never really used it in his previous fights. He movement give Amir all kinds of problems.
Yeah Algeri did look big, and taller than Khan. If Khan is 5ft 10, then what is Algeri?? I'm not sure Khan is as tall as he says he is. He also looked small for Welter, or maybe because Algeri looked a lot denser up at that weight, but he has also moved up. Clearly Khan didn't posses the power to keep him off though and thats going to be a big problem against tough, big hard hitting welters. They will just walk through Khan, because they won't be so worried about what is coming back. Nevermind KO power, he even seems to lack stunning power and that's not good when you are facing a big strong 147 pounder.
Nothing fishy about it. Alexander was a flattering match-up for Khan, same as he was for Porter (who then looked awful vs. Brook)
Khan is a lil weasel. He wants a fight with floyd then he should have fought brook to get a title and get more leverage but no he fought Khan and looked bad. Thats what he geta O
yup. should have been a draw or algieri split decision but the cash cow needs to win for another payday. khan is over rated.
Khan's style is effective against non-aggressive southpaws. The distance between an orthodox fighter and a southpaw is greater than the distance between 2 orthodox or 2 southpaws. Khan is so used to the amateur tagging system that he's able to get in and get out very quickly with his speed. Against an orthodox fighter, his style is less effective. When he throws combinations, he leaves his chin hanging out and fighters counter with hard shots between his pitty-pat combinations. When he does that against southpaws, they can't deploy that tactic because of the distance and their inferior speed. Khan is a fundamentally flawed fighter who has used his athletic gifts and disregarded the basics. He leaves his glass chin hanging out too often. He look slower against Aligeri because he's hesitant. He's afraid of getting countered and he pull his punches. He's not even top 5 at 147. Othothodox guys with power are his Kryptonite. He's been cherry picking fighters who suit his style since the Diaz fight, where he was almost knocked out.
it's a bad matchup for Algieri due to Pac's power, something Khan lacks. Once Algieri felt Pac's speed and power, he was on the defensive. Pacquiao is also very awkward. It seems to me that given Khan's lack of power, Algieri grew bigger and speed alone didn't bother him that much. Also, Khan is an orthodox fighter who was probably much easier to read than Manny. Manny is just more difficult and simply more talented than Khan.
Nothing fishy about it at all as I've said for months now, Khan is an overrated hypejob and Chris is underrated and deserves more credit, so those two realities came crashing together the other night and I was proven right once again. When are these Khan fans going to realize what an out and out loser Khan really is.
