Why did Khan fight Algeri? What was the logic behind that

[New England]

khan has an AWFUL chin. awful. it's as bad as you'll see on a top flight fighter.

they fight guys who cannot punch, get paid, and wait for floyd mayweather.


khan's fast enough and athletic enough that he can get by solid boxers without much fuss.

Where are you getting those weights from?

From the horse's mouth. Also, Algieri weighed 155 vs Pacquiao and that was a 144 catchweight.

Khan didn't look as good,but that's also because Algieri is very good.

Please name me how many boxers with 0 amateur exp win World titles in 20 fights. You have guys boxing all their lives taking 30 plus to get a shot let alone win one. That speaks volumes about Chris.

The guy was an ex-champion kick-BOXER. They use their legs but he has to have stand-up game too.

I think the answer to that question may be more political than many suspect. Berto was supposed to be the next big thing before the Ortiz fight and was being groomed to fight Floyd. Well, we all know what happened there and thereafter so the Berto that could, became the Berto that can't.

I honestly believe Floyd's choice of Berto has a multi-layered plan attached 1.) There's no shame in losing to Floyd, so if\when Berto loses, he would have received a mega-dose of exposure, a very good payday, and he's setup to continue his career without skipping a beat 2.) The choice of picking Berto also sticks it straight into the eye of Khan, who has been acting the fool towards Floyd every chance he gets. 3.) This also, may be a favor to Haymon, who is close to both Floyd and Berto. Floyd is winding his career down while Berto still has a few years in him.

Your whole post made absolute zero sense, there was no logic behind it. To sum it up your post simply lacked common sense.

In future do not reply back to me if you're going to post a absurd post like this.

Thanks

What horse? Khan?

While yes, they have boxing technique incorporated, but kicks are their bread and butter. Plus if it was that easy it would be a norm for kickboxers to cross over cuz they get paid peanuts compared to boxing.

The guy Algieri beat is not a joke. I mean you should know this well. Everyone who comes out of the ring after boxing Provo knows they've left something in that ring.

Algieri struggled against Provodnikov, and lost every round to Pacquiao.

It says more about how limited Khan is.

Beat with one eye shut. A guy with 0 amateur pedigree showing this level of maturity. To give you an idea Bradley had slurred speech for 2 months after Ruslan.

He lost every single round to the 2nd best guy of our time? Tell me more?

He got this far with a McDojo trainer. Now he has a proper boxing coach. Says it all.

****** fans are no longer watching boxing. They all have agendas.

Didn't you see the Khan/Algieri fight? It was very competitive. That's the point of boxing. Not some effing mismatches like Brook vs No no Dans.

And this Algieri bashing has got to stop. Anyways, we'll see more of him. I bet these idiots would change tune when he makes guys like Broner, Garcia, etc. look like average.

He's not Top Rank doe. He can do business with Haymon. Let's see if you'll stick with your silly opinions of Algieri. He'll be around. Just remember that.
