Amir Khan Master Thread

[shenmue]

Khan will win every round, there will be no drama in this fight. No reason to look forward to it unless you are a super Khan fan who gets off on him dominating stylistically matched opponents.

Algeri hands aren't even close to being as fast.

Algeri isn't really that fast in general Amir Khan has arguably the fastest hands in Boxing.

Your points are meaningless because the fact is Brook is the best fight, the best payday, and brings a belt to the table.

Instead of that, he's fighting Chris Algeri.

I'm not denying Brook isn't the best fight but it's just not realistic enough at this stage. That's the plain and simple fact.

Same way you said Alexander and Collazo would be a tough fight for Khan.

This will be a shut out.

Khan was superb in both efforts and showed he was better than what I gave him credit for, especially the debacle before the Collazo fight. I just didn't think Khan and Hunter were gelling right.

The advantage against Alexander was that Khan was punching down against a smaller opponent who often lacked heart. Chris has shown he has tonnes of heart and doesn't back down from a fight plus the dimensions will be tough for Khan. He'll win but it is always difficult fighting against a taller opponent who will be better at the weight. Not to mention Algieris own boxing skills.

Khan wins, I repeat and I also repeat Brook is a better fight but for Hearn to come along and book a venue in advance and dictate a fight to the bigger name...just not happening. Like Ogogo said, you talk to boxing fans, they may know Brook, you talk to your nan, they will know Khan. It's as simple as that. Plus there is no way Khan is fighting in June (I think that was the date Hearn was talking about), which is the same month during which Ramadan starts. It's not happening, its never happened before.

How exactly is it not realistic?

There's a date, there's a venue, there's 80,000 fans, there's 5,6,7 or 8 million pounds sterling potentially on the table. There's the only world title belt in the welterweight division not held by either Mayweather or Pacquaio on the line.

What exactly is not realistic about this situation?

LOL isn't Hearn talking about a June date? Maybe you should learn to read paragraphs and not sentences. You can't pre book a venue like that, in a fight of this magnitude and expect no negotiations and then say that you want one more fight in May...you're telling me Brook will fight in May AND June, have enough time to negotiate a fight with Khan, all this before the due date, which is already booked, in a month which Khan will not fight in because June is when Ramadan starts. Yeah sure.

It's too unrealistic and it is just attention grabbing. Which I don't blame Hearn and co for, they need to drum up business for Brook and I'm fine with this. It helps build the fight for next year if Khan and Brook both keep on winning.

Amir Khan said he will fight Broner in June.

Brook wants Khan in June.

So that's a load of crap.

You can't pre book the venue? If they make the fight now they can book the venue for the date.

The fight is extremely realistic and very easy to make.

Algeri will be lucky to win a single round against Khan.

Another very favourable style match up and very easy fight to predict.

Protecting that chin

Whitewash victory for Khan.

What the hell are you talking about? Brook obviously would not fight in May if Khan took the fight. Brook wouldn't have even took the Dan fight if Khan had accepted. It all comes down to Khan not wanting to take the fight. The date is June 13th - it's before Ramadan.

They've had MONTHS to negotiate the fight. The only reason they haven't is because KHAN DOESN'T WANT TO.

They could make the fight NOW with a click of Amir's fingers but he doesn't want to. What part of that don't you get??

I would have preferred Broner, at least it would have been entertaining

I don't blame Khan for that one. He'd have definitely taken that fight. Broner wouldn't have been allowed in the ring with Khan though.
