has khan gotten worse?

I don't think he's gotten worse, he was just overrated and we are just realising how much we had overrated him.

the thing is that he had some impressive wins early in his career. he easily beat zab and paulie who are both solid fighters and he convincingly beat maidana IMO at least. he even looked good against garcia until he got hit. maybe it is what some say. he is just more conservative which makes him look worse although he has less of a chance of getting KO'd.

and no, i dont think that algieri is anything special. he is a decent fighter who has gotten fortunate to land the fights he has.

How did he look good against Garcia? It was clear from 20 seconds in what Garcia was trying to do and he kept trying until it worked. Khan shouldn't have allowed it. He just isn't very smart. Tell him what to do and if it's working he's great but if it is not he is SOL

Really?!?

It's that Khan looks the part. Good jab, fast hands, decent power. But Khan doesn't have the brain to fight Floyd. Floyd would counter him early possibly dropping Khan but at worst getting his attention and slowing him. Then Floyd would drop the right on him all night. If Algieri can so easily...

That's just stupid thing to say. Khan is one of the top fighters in his class, and outside boxer vs outside boxer = boring 2X, even less connects than Floyd's previous opponents.
