[Dark Lord Al]

Algieri is shit but if pacman can fight him then why can't khan, after all pacman is looked at as all time great and higher up on the all time p4p list by some lol

He should of fought Brook.

[Master]

Khan v Broner I could just about live with but Algeri proves Khan has no chin and no confidence in his ability to beat Brook. He should be embarrassed that he chose this fight ahead of Brooks. Joker.

World welterweight champion Kell Brook has criticised British rival Amir Khan for showing him "a lack of respect".

Brook, 28, retained his IBF belt on Saturday and wants a bout with Khan, also 28, who has opted to fight USA's Chris Algieri next.

"Khan has no respect for me and looks down his nose at me, but I've done everything asked of me," said Brook.

"I'm an unbeaten world champion and deserve and command respect but he talks to me like I'm nothing."
Khan, a former world champion at light-welterweight, has expressed a desire to fight Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao in the future, but has said he may fight Brook "inside the next 12 months".

However, Brook, who has won all 34 of his professional fights, expressed his surprise at Khan's choice of Algieri as an opponent and told BBC Sport: "He is now fighting in my division and has not had many fights there as he used to fight at a lower weight.

"But now he thinks he can jump the gun and fight Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao before me, when I have earned the right to do so. I don't know who he thinks he is. It's about ego for him.

"Every fight fan in Britain and across the world wants to see me and Khan fight. We have a great rivalry, there's a big pot of money for him and it is for a world title. All they have to do is pick up the phone, but he doesn't want it."

On Twitter, Khan defended his choice of opponent and said: "Can everyone please wake up. I said the fight between me and Kell Brook will happen. When I think it's right. Look at who he fought last (Romanian Jo Jo Dan).

"Seems to me Kell Brook is dying to fight me for the big pay day before he faces a half decent opponent and loses that IBF title.

"Algieri (only beaten once by Pacquiao and still 140 lbs WBO world champion) is still a better opponent than No No Dan."
