Comments Thread For: Khan-Algieri Finalized For 5/29 at Barclays, Spike TV

He's not as crazy you think.

Algieri has the reach to land frequently on Khan, who usually fights shorter guys.

It's not a coincidence that Prescott and Peterson are both taller than Khan, and beat him.

Khan reach: 70

Algieri reach: 71

Wow, that's a real David and Goliath tale if Khan manages to overcome that huge reach disadvantage.

Prescott beat him because Khan was too green/crap defense and prescott can ****.

Peterson didn't beat* Khan because of reach advantage.

I'm not a fan of Khan and his BS, or his weird fanboy cultists.

But...

He cherry picked Algieri for a reason.

That reason is that Algieri offers no threat whatsoever to Khan.

Khan is basically a more compact, mobile, faster and experienced version of Algieri.

Nope

I am saying Brook doesnt deserve a shot at the King, after he picked Frankie Gavin

He picked Khan but Khan refused to negotiate the fight. You have gone full ****** in recent weeks over this. To be fair, you were already half way there.

He picked Frankie Gavin because he wants to avoid a challenge in case it scuppers his chances at a future shot with Khan

With that said i believe Brook will fight anyone, however Hern doesnt share this confidence

Chaves should have been picked over Frankie Gavin

Why would any boxing fan, hell why would any Amir Khan fan, think that Kell Brook for a world title at Wembley for 5+ million wouldn't be the "right fight at the right time"?

Why would fighting Chris Algieri for 5 times less and no world title in probably a half empty arena on some bum ass US TV station be "right" for Amir Khan?

Khan has let his true fans down. The gay fanboys like WankieBruno will continue to pretend that they are not ashamed. Stiff upper lip when deep down, they are embarrassed.

Because as long as he stays undefeated he could get a shot at Floyd or Manny for slightly more than the $5 mil. If Brook, KO's him, he gets the money but not another big payday.

Again, he gets exposure, a win, and if he makes a defensive mistake it probably doesn't cost him because ALgieiri has little pop.

Yes, he did let you down DIrk.

I don't really see any way in which Algieri can win the fight about the safest recognizable name kahn could pick.

[FrankieBruno]

But Khan was offered the Brook fight first, the Gavin fight was only set AFTER Khan turned down Brook.

Brook's fights (Gavin and Rios) are weak and disappointing, but that is more due to Khan turning down the fight than Brook / Hearn picking easy defences.

Then Khan takes Algieri...

You just can't defend it mate.

Brook has fought one decent name in 30 plus fights and Khan has been in many wars.

Why shud the King bow down to a guy who hasnt put the work in.

I dont care about his paper title.

Brook vs Khan will happen at a later time,

However i see it from Khans point of view, Brook has to build his own path. Build his own star, and not piggybak off Khans name and brand

He picked Khan.

Gavin or Chaves - doesn't make a difference, both are ****. It's just a way to get Brook on the bill for Hearn to sell the PPV and a Brit made more commercial sense.

You were slagging off Chaves when I said it was a possibility And you'd be doing the same now if that was the fight. Now you're acting like Chaves is amazing. You are truly embarrassing yourself.

Brook will probably fight Rios next which will do more for his career than Algieri will do for Khan's. Brook will grow his name in America whilst Khan is becoming more of a joke on both sides of the Atlantic.

The irony in saying that Hearn is protecting Brook for a shot at Khan when that's exactly what Khan is doing by facing feather duster punchers.

Very true

However he'll have to do a lot better come December
