    Terrible style for Algieri, not to mention the gap in class. Can't see anyway Algieri can win this. If he does it'll be fkin hilarious and possibly end Khan's career.

You need power to beat him and he still doesn't give too many rounds away. Virgil has made him much more tactically and defensively sound and instead of fighting in spurts, he can sustain it more. Anyone else see a bit of Andre Ward vs Alexander?
      But do you think anyone can?

        Algieri hit the class wall hard against Pacquiao. If Khan struggles with him it would send up a red flag regarding his potential.

        But I'd be very surprised if Khan doesn't win an easy decision.

          Not sure why Khan is fighting Algerie because Pacquiao already exposed Algerie horribly. Yes it's a "safe" fight for Khan but proves nothing after the one-sided beat down Pacquiao handed Algerie.

          There are other safe fights out there for Khan and this one does nothing for Khan's reputation. And when you factor in Algerie's speed and Khan's fragile chin there's every possibility that Algerie produces a decent performance and the fight goes the distance. In that scenario even if Khan wins a UD his stock drops. Nothing less than a fast decisive KO can boost Khan's rep.

          Timing is everything: When Pacquiao fought Chris it was when the guy was undefeated and coming off a solid win over Provo. Now that Chris has been exposed I would say Khan's timing is horrible. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. Combining Khan's chin and him looking past Algerie could be dangerous.

            Everyone talks about Algieri's reach and height however he doesn't know how to use those advantages where as Khan clearly does. Having the tools and not being able to use them is the problem with Chris.

              Do you know who Algieri's new trainer is?

                  John David Jackson, I loved how Kovalev's game plan worked perfectly via Hopkins, that's a lesson right there in how to avoid the clinch and fight from range.

                  That fight should be shown to everyone who would be fighting a hugger.

                    Floyd would beat him at range. I wouldn't be surprised if Peterson beats him again if they were to have a rematch

                      Khan will do a job on Algieri and if he get the Mayweather fight he will do a job on Floyd too. Mark my words.
