"I got my team to speak to Bob Arum and we got nothing back, and they went with Algieri," Khan said. "He's a nobody. Well, he's not a nobody. You've got to respect him but he's not a big name, and if Manny Pacquiao wanted to make big money in boxing, he needs to fight big names." - Amir Khan

It's so delusional and ****** it's unreal.

i'll postpone my status as a Khan fan until the day he fights a top opponent again. It's been 3 years already.

whats the relevance of greedy boys nationality? hes a british pakistani unfortunately for us BUT, its nothing to do with his racial background, its just his greed and this ****** fackin hole on the front of his face that we (the english) fackin hate.
algieri is quite a tough fellah and judging from his recent "unpleasantness" at the fists of pacman he will keep getting up.
i would peg him in just in front of diaz in terms of level.
i also pick him to knock greedy boy the fack out inside of 7 rounds.
let us not forget, all ya gotta do against ole whiskers is keep your chin in and swing swing swing...

Someone bump the thread where people were talking up Algieri when Pac was fighting him

I could see this mentality in Khan years ago, this is why I hated on the guy. He talks all this stuff about how everyone is afraid of him and how great he is, even takes up the nickname of "King" and then gets beaten down several times only to kick humility to the curb. Now he turns down a fight with a guy that he says ducked him and needed to grow some balls for a fight with a guy that just moved up in weight and got dropped by a guy 6 times, who he said he handled in sparring and could beat himself.

Completely engrossed with his image of himself and disassociated with reality.

then he fought him

[FrankieBruno]

then he fought him

there was threads after the fight as well, saying algeri was as good as any of floyds recent opponents

[SolonGee]

Correction: He's A C-class opponent.

Nah, he's a B class fighter. Algieri a decent technical boxer than can outbox many slow and flatfooted fighters of 140-147 division.

I'm a big khan fan..

But this is embarrassing... The welter division is stocked with contenders and khan is fighting a jr welter with one quality win, and none at welter

[rasdun]

algieri is better than some give him credit for, but Maidana rematch, Thurman, Broner, Porter, Bradley, Brook would all be very good fights.
I'm sick of Khan fighting guys that aren't really tough fights then thinking he is the top challenger to floyd or Manny. EARN IT! Fight 1 of the 6 above
