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.
Chris Algieri's fight is easy for Khan?

But do you think anyone can?Exactly, from purely a boxing perspective he is damn near impossible to beat. That's why he was exceptional in the amateurs with with gear on. 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?Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment
