Amir Khan Admits His Performance Was Sub-Par, Felt Over-trained and Tired

[Djanxx]

It's hilarious that he still thinks he is close to the Floyd fight...

[V.WEBB]

Another reason why I've tuned this kid out and don't take anything he says seriously.

The speed and explosiveness in the Devon fight was eye catching

Against Algieri, it simply wasnt there, he couldnt get going. He started extremely slow. Khan has always been fast out of the blocks and tends to fade in the later rounds.

that had more to do with his opponent then anything. algeiri was hurting khan and khan was fighting scared

[Deeznuts]

Algieri made Kahn look so average. He struggled for that win and got rocked by his right. Floyd fans should be happy, Kahn would be an easy win for Floyd.

Or Algieri is better than folks give him credit for and Hunter is the most basic "elite" trainer I've ever seen.

Something wasn't right about Khan, he looked slow, sluggish, his speed was pretty ordinary by his standards. His reflexes looked bad, his movement, defense, sharpness just nothing was there. He needs to stick it out with Virgil because the Alexander performance and his condition in that fight was the best in his whole career including the days with Roach. Saying that even the worst Khan still beat Algieri 8-4, that's impressive in itself to be fair, only elite fighters can do stuff like that.

Frankie can you link the source please, thanks.

Once again blaming the damn trainer

It's always someone else's fault with him.

Nice set of excuses from khan. And if you fought like your old self you most likely would have been ko'd.

This.
Khan looked good against Devon because...
well, it's Devon.
Things don't work in a vacuum where what your opponent does has no effect on the other fighter.
Devon is slower and was always in Khan's range trying to time him (and unable to) getting turned into a punching bag.
Algieri isn't really fast but was doing a good job at timing Khan. Algieri also has a higher fight IQ than Devon does as the pressure actually helped Algieri by having Khan on the backfoot, and catching him when Khan overcommitted on his punches. The fact Algieri could and was hurting him made Khan more hesitant as he was reaching with a lot of his shots, which Algieri was timing and countering.
