Better Performance Vs A Slugger Style: Khan vs Algieri OR Floyd vs Maidana?

[FlatLine]

There's a few factors to take into consideration which even things up - Algieri doesn't have Maidana's power and Maidana doesn't have Algieri's speed and reflexes. But, both these fighters fought in a slugger style - Algieri fought Khan as a slugger (Khan's style essentially turned him into a crude slugger) and Maidana fought Floyd in, for the most part, his usual slugger style.

Which fighter had the more dominant performance against the slugger style? Khan against Algieri's "higher speed / less power" slugger style or Floyd against Maidana's "less speed / more power" slugger style?

Maidana is stronger, more awkward, and overall more experienced than Algieri. Mayweather had the tougher time with Maidana because he was faced with a better opponent.

Algieri was offensive --> let's compare him to Maidana's style

You just might be the dumbest poster here, and that's saying an awful lot.

lets not forget algieri NEVER fought like a slugger before.
and khan had trouble with someone fighting algieri who tried to slug for the first time...

It's not like it's an amazing skill to learn to fight like a slugger - it's what a lot of people naturally fight like before they learn other skills in boxing. That's why they call it "crude" slugger.

Not to mention that Khan already beat Maidana's slugger style anyway too.

I don't think anyone's going to be taking that title off you, don't worry it's safe in your hands.

matthysse against provodnikov was a better performance than both

the second you take a step forward, you become a slugger.

Ruslan is much slower than Algieri though so it's a different fight. He's even slower than Maidana too. He just caught Algieri cold in that first round but as soon as Algieri warmed up he was way, way faster than Provodnikov. Imagine Khan vs Provodnikov - Ruslan wouldn't have any chance of winning a single round against him, it would be a complete shut out in my opinion.
