Khan's Last Opponent (Algieri) Was Better Than EVERY 147 Belt-Holders Last Opponents

[M Bison]

Mayweather (although now allegedly retired) last fought Andre Berto.

Bradley last fought Brandon Rios.

Thurman (if you count the belt) last fought Luis Collazo.

Brook (if you count the belt) last fought Frankie Gavin!

Khan last fought Chris Algieri.

Chris Algieri beats Berto, Rios, Collazo and obviously Gavin.

So essentially, it goes without saying at this point, Khan's last opponent was superior to the last opponents of every welterweight title holder. Every single one.

So there we have it.

Who has chris algeiri ever beaten?

ruslan? That ain't saying much considering many people felt he lost.

Algeri is a espn fighter who got a razor close decision in a title fight against provodnikov.

he never even made a defense of the title.

Algeri is just another guy, and every since 2012 so is khan

Diaz
Molina
Collazo
Alexander
Algieri

just ain't good enough for a guy who believes he is elite

So basically you're saying there are no elite welterweight fighters in the division right now except from Pacquiao, damn...
Well I agree, I don't think the welterweight division is all that its being made out to be I think they hyped it up to make Floyd look better.

Well i do agree on the OP's point. Algieri is the better of the fighters on that list for me.

The guys at WW just aren't facing each other. Or tough competition in general really.

Thurman/Porter and Pacquiao/Bradley coming up will kick start that trend hopefully.

[FlatLine]

That's beyond ******ed.

How can the belt "cancel" because he fights his mandatories?

You inadvertently reinforced my original point further since it only demonstrates the so-called "mandatory" positions are sometimes entirely dictated by promoters, they can be bought and sold. All manner of no-hopers can achieve a "mandatory" status if the money and persuasion is there as we clearly see in the Brook example of fighting 2 low level bums back to back for a supposed "world title".

Well on paper, Rios was the better opponent. For the sake of argument lets just say you're right. You could also say he looked the worst out of the group in his performance. Algeri also capitalized on one of Khan's biggest flaws. Khan seems to have no ability to adjust when someone is doing something unexpected.
