        No Khan picked the opponent. Khan has never blamed Haymon like Santa Cruz.

        I guess it's admirable that he actually takes responsibility for his own cowardice.

          He was supposed to stop him and look great. Instead he came in his lightest at 153 and didn't look anywhere near as conditioned as normal. Also, Algieri came with a great gameplan weighed 165. Khan lacked explosiveness.

            Where are you getting those weights from?

              To take a stay busy fight to get what he thought would be a spectacular easy win so as not to jeopardize getting a fight with Floyd.

                Ask Al Haymon. Why are Garcia and Thurman fighting average fighters?

                  Almost all of Khan's cherry picks go wrong, which is as clear an indication that the levels are equal or strikingly similar. That's the point that tards fail to realize.

                  Meldrick Taylor had blinding speed and he torched everyone he fought. Why is the Khan-man the only fighter who is claimed to have all this speed, but is constantly struggling with inferior opponents. It just doesn't add up!!!

                  Then as a rebuttal and in the Khan-man's defense, tards state that styles make fights Khan supposedly has Blinding speed, fast feet, is highly skilled Olympic medalist ... Yet, he's getting timed and caught by much slower fighters, walked down by fighters that are barely wet behind the ears and losing to opponents that are less that A-level prospects.

                  Meldrick Taylor
                  Macho Camacho
                  SRR
                  Floyd
                  RJJ
                  Pernell

                  The list goes on and on with fighters who were extremely fast and skillful. All were fighters who had the same attributes that the Khan-man supposedly has, yet they all became superstars, while Khan is still struggling and searching out light targets.

                  The shit just does not add up!!!!
                  Also, the Algieri fight showed that Khan STILL has the same flaws he's always had.

                    Forget Khan he's just a "glass hype job"

                    Let's ask the real question! Why is Mayweather fighting Berto?

                      Because Khan can't fight even with boxers with average punching power
