The list of opponents Amir has fought shows that he's not worried about his chin. Maidana hits hard (Ask Broner). Collazo hits hard (Ask Hatton and Ortiz). Amir beat them both. Just because you don't hit like GGG does not mean it's an easy fight.

Sure Algieri got beaten easy and knocked down a lot by Pac-Man BUT Pac man didn't get him outta of there. And there is no disgrace with losing heavily to one of the best P4P fighters out there. How would it look if Amir did what Pac-Man could not do and KO or stop Algieri ?
1)nobody will care because Algieri is a FNFs level fighter.

2)if Brook were to fight Thurman the winner of that fight would be far ahead of Khan for next up. And Garcia is still ahead

3)it's not like Brook is the only guy Khan passed on. Thurman would have jumped at the fight. He had the option to fight Bradley in an eliminator. That would have gotten him 2 big fights. But he chose a FNFs opponent instead. One that is thought of so poorly Showtime rejected the fight.

4)people are crazy if they think Khan would get 20 million from Floyd or Manny. Cotto didn't get that much from either, Shane didn't get that much from fighting both, Marquez couldn't get the 25 million he wanted after beating Pac repeatedly. No way in hell Khan gets 20 million from either. He'd be lucky to get as much as Brook is offering.

put all the lipstick you want on this pig 99% of us won't take it to the dance.
