Firstyl, great performance by Khan. He was up by 5 on my cards.
Algiri has much improved in John David Jackson(best trainer in world boxing?), He tactically changed as a pressure fighter, which no one expexpected.
With that considered Khan still comfortably won, and apart from the firdt round, looked defensively much better.
Anyhow, Khan Now has Maidana, Zab, Paulie, Devon Alexander, collazo, Chris Algiri on his resume and i think hes flirting, or at least in the top ten p4p. Certainly ahead of Tim Bradley who is doing **** all and should retire.
Very gifted fighter who in no doubt will absolutely destroy both Mayweather and Kell brook.
I find it hard to rate any fighter as top 10 with losses to Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson on their record.
Khan has beat some good opponents, but I think the loses tarnish his record enough to keep him out of the top 10
Yes that's true, offensive fighters who put their chin out there more are gonna have it tested more. Khan has fought high quality opposition and not been significantly KD to substantiate claims of "glass jaw", it's really silly!
Floyd too has NOT put that chin out as much opting to run for a reason. And it aint cause he likes getting hit that's for sure!
He got wobbled by Algieri.......a guy with only 8 KO's. He's been KO'd two times and KD'd 8 times. He ties up and headlocks for safety......his chin is schit.
Dude is not a top p4p fighter....I honestly felt the pbc announcers were straight ****ting on algeiri last night...I had the fight for algeiri with the swing RDS going to Chris for his pressure and clean punching...face it a meer con is not the answer to beating may weather..he's predictable and last night almost all his punches were blocked which I don't understand can count as punches landed...he landed a few crisp shots but algeiri dictated the whole fight..I don't even like Chris but after last night I became a fan and this a meer con cat really needs to question how gd he is..I see every ww from Guerrero to Thurman straight whooping him out
TS is a respectable poster on this site in my opinion and despite some obvious liberties taken, is essentially right..
Algieri is solid opponent and win, a rising tough prospect vanguished.
And Khan is a top level lb for lb fighter beyond any doubt..
Great skills, killer speed, formidable.
Persaonally I'd lay a small sum for him to outdo Mayweahter, that is, in a FAIR fight with unbiased judging of course, something which seems improbable in reality.
If Floyd ain't fighting Pac again after that, the only opponent he SHOULD be fighting in my opinion is Khan!
That's the only thing that fans should want to see!
good post.
Khan struggled with the surprise tactics of pressure fighting from Algiri, but still comfortably won. if Algiri fought like that against Manny it would have been alot closer.
Khan no doubt in my mind beas Mayweather. Mayweather cant pressure for **** and khan is too Athletic and fast for Mayweather.
Mayweather Drew to a One armed Manny and drew to a B+Maidana, no way does he beat the superior Amir Khan.
Khan was walked down last night by Algieri. He just barely won or I personally think it was a draw. But yes p4p top 10, lol... You're a joke user.
What will be next? Khan's getting walked down by Pulie Malignaggi?
Yes - getting walked down by Algieiri does not really say much for Khan to be honest lol.

The guy does have skills, has very good speed and has fought good opposition. But his defensive skills suck he took a lot of leather to the head last night I think against an accurate puncher with power he would be in trouble. TBE would beat him and maybe knock him out.
He's definitely top ten P4P. People use Khan's past punch resistance as the sole excuse to downplay his great abilities but they ignore the fact that top 10 P4P, Manny Pacquiao, has been stopped more times than Khan and he's also been knocked out cold for 5 minutes only a few fights ago. Can't have it both ways. And Wladimir Klitschko, another top 10 p4p fighter - knocked out several times in the past, but people ignore it.
If we look at Khan's skill set & speed he's pound for pound top 10, no doubt.
