Comments Thread For: Khan: Algieri No Joke, Can't Think This Fight Is Easy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The last time Amir Khan contends he took an opponent lightly, the British welterweight was knocked out by Danny Garcia.

Chris Algieri isn’t nearly as big a puncher as Philadelphia’s Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs), who knocked out Khan in the fourth round of their July 2012 fight in Las Vegas. But Khan, listed as a 16-1 favorite by numerous Internet sports books, realizes he cannot afford to underestimate Algieri’s boxing ability or anything else about him. [Click Here To Read More]

If hes not a joke than why do you have to convince the fans he is not? I think if Khan didnt look so much into the future "most" of us would take him and his opponents seriously but when Floyd Mayweather is brought up in every other sentence this guy says, it discredits his opponents and makes "most" of us not like him, imo at least.

If people were ever ****** enough to allow ole glass jaw in the ring with Floyd we would all have to wear ear plugs and blinkers for months this guy only talks nonsense .........no joke !

Algeri has been down 9 times in his last two fights. What's this win supposed to prove again?

Oh please the fight is a joke and the fact that Khan has to constantly defend this fight and is so sensitive about the backlash he has gotten from fans for taking this fight is EXACTLY why it's a joke. Comments like this fool no one. You chose Algeri because he is a small no power weak opponent.

Khan just needs to get 7 knockdowns

[bojangles1987]

Algieri is a solid fighter IMO, but he is an easy style match-up for Khan.

That they are afraid to put him in with anyone decent.

Nothing but facts here.

I can't wait for this fight because then at least Amir Khan will stop talking about how dangerous Algieri is going to be.

Actually come to think of it, it might get even worse. Maybe he'll start talking about how dangerous Algieri was and how his elite boxing skills allowed him to perservere through a tough challenge and how he deserves a Mayweather fight. Oh god, it bothers me to know that this is probably coming...

Same thing I was thinking. Khan's spent the last two years on the verge of a Mayweather fight yet this clown has failed to seize the opportunity. He's not a hungry fighter. It's disgraceful watching Khan try and tip toe his way to a Mayweather fight.
