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.
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.
