Official Amir Khan vs Chris Algieri & Undercards Fight Discussion Thread

No, but you do justify it. He is a Lineal Champ and not just a fringe belt holder.

Fact is Khan is ducking Brook at the moment, temporary, but a duck nonetheless. I along with almost all Khan fans on this site admit to it. Some even rip him, but my whole point is that Algieri isn't as bad of an opponent as people make it out to be albeit there is an element of winding people up.

Where as your Cotto Brigade dub this b.s. as "testing MW waters". How? By fighting a 2nd catch weight fight? Also it isn't Khan draining people out of their balls like Miguel who said he'd use every advantage against anybody at 160 lbs.

I justify it because its a voluntary defense. Would I have preferred someone else for that voluntary shot yes or course. Most likely Heiland or T. Johnson. But I'm not in Cotto's camp or in charge of anything he's doing. But since it is a voluntary defense there's really nothing you can do.

Because Khan's chin will always bring drama

Is there going to be a stream of the weigh in today?

Not always, the fights where it doesn't are dull as paint drying, this could be one of those.

Khan wins by decision for me. He does have a bad chin but he is a good boxer - if he doesn't get KO'd he's going to beat most guys over 12 rounds.

This is a very easy fight for Khan.

I'll be shocked if Algeri wins two rounds.

Could you imagine if Algieri made Khan do the Booty Dew?

Now that would be something.

That would be hilarious.

I hope he does but I just can't see it. Algeri has no pop.

Khan's chin is poor but you need something on your punch to do something to him.
