    Amir Khan: "I wasn't motivated for the Algeiri fight"



    at 1:40

    Khan is the kind of guy who needs to feel threat and danger. Otherwise, he isn't motivated, and not on his A game.

    Against Canelo, he will be on his A+ game. Khan will shock the world.

    Well he shouldn't have chosen to fight him then. It's not like the world was clamoring for Khan/Algeri.

    Alexander played right into Khan's style, while Algeri adjusted his own style to give Khan hell.

        Algieri is still world level.

        I don't think Khan was unmotivated...Khan didn't expect him to be so big and give him so much to think about.

          He probably wasn't. The guy interviewing him looks like some weird Ali-G/Bruno hybrid.

            I believe he was motivated but at the same time underestimated Algieri. Amir thought it would be a rather easy fight but Algieri showed up and surprised him being the aggressor and put pressure on Amir. I don't think Amir expected Algieri to fight like that, and just like that he was in a tough fight.

              He said he could do better than pacquiao after pac made it look easy but algerie made khan look nothing spectacular so his excuse is being unmotivated.

                Probably wasn't motivated for Julio Diaz either

                  I have a hard time to believe this, Khan picked Algieri and did it so he can outdo Pacquiao, that was his motivation, he chose Algieri he wasn't just getting a fight from his promoter he picked the fight for a reason to motivate him to outdo Manny.
