Comments Thread For: Khan: Algieri Win Gets Me Closer To Floyd or Pacquiao

[peplz]

Floyd's motivated by money more than anything else. There's (most likely) more cash in a rematch with Manny than any other fight.

I think he really wants to finish out his career strong. And unifying the division for the first time in forever would give him the strong finish he talks about. IMO.

Same pac fans who hyped up Algieri prior to facing Manny are now sh-tting on him.

He tall doe
He a slick boxer doe
He beat Provodnikov doe

But now khan fights him and Algieri is the biggest bum on earth. Smh, pitiful fans.

After Pacquiao, Khan is the most worthy and accomplished fighter left for Floyd to face. And stylistically he will present problems. Why do people refuse to acknowledge Khan is skilled.

Khan style will present more problems for Floyd than Thurman, Brook or Porter. Those guys will look like robots in quicksand against Floyd.

People say he's picking on junior welters. Isn't that what Mannys been doing with Rios and Algieri.

The only other fighter that would be a style nightmare for Floyd is GGG at 160. But we know that's not happening.

We all know what "style nightmare" means when people start talking about Mayweather fighting Golovkin. Humongous size advantage...

That's wishful thinking, but whatever. Mayweather's legacy is guaranteed, his greed is insatiable. Money is the motivator and Mayweather/Brook pays peanuts compared to Mayweather/Pacquiao 2, depending on how the first fight goes.

[STREET CLEANER]

Khan has a pattern of looking for an opponent With a KO percentage around 50%.

He is more that stup1d to believe that Algeri is a direct path to the winner of Floyd/Pac.

The sad thing that he is popular enough that he might get it. All that name calling ala Kell and he picks Algieri, what a joke

If Khan is a nobody hype job, what does that Make Maidana, Ortiz and Guerrero? All Chino did to earn a shot was beat the bum Broner, and Ortiz/ Guerrero both beat Berto to get Floyd..

Khan beats Collazo, who's arguably better than Broner. Then destroys Alexander, a guy that schooled Maidana. And you telling me he doesn't deserve the Floyd fight based on that alone?

And oh yeah, Khan beat Maidana way more convincing than Floyd did, only losing three of the late rounds. And everybody knows he was robbed against Peterson.


How is he not worthy, but Maidana, Ortiz, Guerrero are?

Yea he got KOd by Garcia, but KOs happen (ask Manny who's been knocked out three times) and Manny fans always say well prior to the KO Pac was dominating. Same with Khan, before the KO he was whipping Garcia like a step child.

Dude. Broner was the legitimate WBA welter weight champion. Maidana is a two division former world champion. Ortiz was the WBC welter weight champion. Guerrero was Mayweather's mandatory and also a multi division world champion. Collazo was coming off of a long hiatus. And Alexander was coming off of a loss. There is no comparison.

Pacquiao was not dominating Marquez before he got knocked out. He had already been dropped clean in the third round of that fight. And Khan was definitely not dominating Garcia before he got knocked out. Explain all of the counter right hooks that he had already caught Khan with before he eventually knocked him out with the same punch. And Garcia had excellent defense that night also. Khan may have been ahead in the fight but he was far from whipping anyone. That's just an excuse to make his fans feel better. Same with Pacquiao. The proof is in the pudding.

Wishful thinking as in that would be the best decision for him to make? His greed... He is the highest paid athlete in the world. Line him up in front of the firing squad. It's called success. There will be no need or demand for a rematch. That's how it will go. And there is no rematch clause. Both of these guys just want to be done with each other. It was hard enough for them to make the fight this time.

khans fight with Chris as a hand picked statement fight has completely backfired, I doubt anyone with any sense would now fall for this nonsense.I can't see that even Floyd would think he could get away with fighting a guy who has been knocked out twice and looked so bad against a very poor last opponent.....Floyd knows an opponent needs better form than that.
He has to fight Kell or lose to another fighter for relatively small bucks.A wealthy kid Khan is but his carrer seems to be closing in, the future looks bleak!

Correct.
If Khan is looking for a big payday fight then now he will have to fight Brook as he is as far away as ever from getting Floyd and he will have to fight again before Manny is ready for a "comeback" fight.
