i wanted the khan fight before algieri. i thought maybe khan could get a jump on floyd and win enough early rounds to possibly make it interesting. i thought floyds lack of pop gave khan a chance. then i saw how vicious those right hand leads were in the first couple rounds of the pacman fight along with very crisp check hooks. and then i saw algieri able to time khan and rock him with shots. floyd would get khan's timing down and wobble him. he may even drop khan. he would beat khan much easier than porter. brook is a bigger puncher than floyd and he had to land solid counter shots all night to keep porter at bay. and even with those shots he wasn't keeping porter off until the second half of the fight. floyd's counters may land but porter would just keep walking floyd down and making him uncomfortable. also porter is much harder to hit and time than people think. he changes direction suddenly and its hard to time. its what overwhelmed malignaggi. what makes you possibly think khan has a chance against floyd after seeing the algieri fight?

While I do think that Porter would cut off the ring AMAZINGLY well, he still doesn't have the skill or mindset to beat Floyd yet.Comment

I saw if, was an entertaining affair, yet Guerrero is hardly a difficult opponent. If Thurman looked laboured against Bundu, vs PBF it'd be an even worse fight, I ain't paying to watch that ****. Bradley for me is the man for the fight, it ain't happening though.Comment

Khan/Brook/Porter/Thurman, are all still one good win away from landing that fight.
Porter is the closest.
Khan/Brook should have fought in May, the winner would have landed that Mayweather payday.Comment

Agreed, this fight had better not happen or it is the biggest cherry pick of all cherry picks. I'd sooner see Algieri given the fight, dude has more heart.Comment

Floyd has very few options, basically Khan or GGG. It could be Brook or Thurman, but only if Thurman doesn't fight Collazo in July, and Brook doesn't go ahead with the Rios fight. Porter did not look good enough to challenge Floyd, especially after getting dropped in the 12th!Comment
