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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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

It says more about how limited Khan is.

This is true. When you get walked down by a guy with 9 KO's, you know you haven't improved.

[Larry the boss]

The reason was money

Brook would have been wayyyy more money right

[Larry the boss]

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

I would agree except Khan been doing it before Haymon

[Larry the boss]

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

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

Honestly he could be fighting the guy who holds Berto's spit bucket as his faewell fight for all i care..he has earned it

[King Man]

I would agree except Khan been doing it before Haymon

Algieri was almost certainly a Haymon idea

Blame Haymon

[sweetpea87]

Probably thought he would look great and dominate the fight which would give him more leverage to get the Mayweather fight. Well that backfired.

Made no sense apart from wanting to outdo #48.

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

At the world class level, I can't think of a single fighter who is as protected from punchers as Khan. It's only a matter of time that he gets cracked again. And now that Mayweather has overlooked him, he's going to have to get back to the serious sport of fighting better opponents, and not just stop-gaps.

****** 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.

Oh Algieri will be hanging around. He's still young. And I realized Haymon doesn't really have that many opponents for his boxers. He's running out of Guerrero-type opponents for Thurman, for instance. We may well see Thurman vs Algieri.

Exactly.
