Khan/Algieri is official

[beenKOed]

ono, nice to see you're still running the Amir Khan fan club ()

The Brook-Khan fight already had a date booked at Wembley for June 13th, Khan was promised/guaranteed a massive career-high payday, it has Sky Box Office, it even had a "world" title at stake. You can only do stadium fights in the summer, which obviously limits opportunities. It doesn't need any selling.

(This ain't about "gimmes")

Dan was Brook's mandatory. Fighting Dan means he has a year before the IBF can force their next challenger on him. It was also his first fight back from having his leg chopped off.

Khan then listed his possible opponents - Broner, Thurman, Cotto and Algieri. Of those five opponents (including Brook) there's not a genuine boxing fan on earth that would have picked Algieri. Shit match.

Brook's leg was not chopped off!
This is not a shit match and I'm looking forward to it. What if Khan stops Algieri? What if Khan is the loser? We're going to get a real comparison between Khan and Manny fighting the same guy within a year.
I want to see the friggin fight!! Opinions, opinions, opinions! Isn't boxing great?

Your opinion is wrong that is the difference.

That hurt!

I think people are being a bit harsh on Amir. Boxing is'nt just about having KO power. Same way being a great B-Ball player is not just about being very tall.

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.

Well what does that say about Pac-Man, that a FNF fighter can take him the distance ? Algieri beat Ruslan Provodnikov to get the Pac man slot. Provodnikov KO-ed Luis Castillio straight after losinmg to Algieri (Yeah I know Castillio was past it at 41, but Castillo is still the only fighter to come close to beating Mayweather) also Provodnikov gave Tim Bradley hell before losing as UD to him and Provodnikov beat Chop-Chop Corley too. I think you are being a bit harsh calling Algieri and FNF 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

If I knew the lottery numbers I'd be rich. Brook has not fought Thurman. So we can't judge. Khan has better chance of beating Mayweather or Pac-Man or causing them trouble than Garcia.

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.

Khan would make the same money fighting Algieri as he do would fighting Thurman. If you had the final call in "Team Khan" - Would you go for Thurman, even though you can fight Algieri and get paid the same as would do fighting Thurman ? No you wouldn't. Boxing a a businees. Fact is Khan beats Algieri and he's in pole postion to face the Mayweather - Pac Man winner.

Look - Thurman is a good fighter, but for a man who everyone says hit's like a Tank. He has won his last fights by UD - No bad thing - Guerrero and Bundu are quality fight, but he did not school them either.

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.

Algieri would beat Jo-Jo Dan. The Brook fight will happen and Khan will beat Brook. Brook was a bit lucky to beat Porter in my book. Even the UK commentators had Porter winning. If Khan fights Floyd-Pac Man winner, Sure Khan may not get the 20 mill, but he'll still get, by far, the biggest payday of his career.

[Primo Carnera]

One thing I haven't said so far. Why does Khan feel he has to disrespect Jo Jo Dan to justify his pathetic line of thought . Dan legitimately fought his way into a mandatory position and got his shot. Ok, he got beat and he got beat well. Maybe Algieri beats him, maybe not, let's not forget although Algieri is tall, he is a Light Welterweight. What has Dan done to be called No No Dan?
Khan is a fucking prick, and even his biggest fans or people that rate him highly cannot logically justify the reasoning behind taking this fight.

Brook's leg was not chopped off!

Are you sure?

Pretty certain Brook had to have a new leg super-glued on.

[Mark TKO]

Yes . Business decision I get that

Algieri must wonder what he has done right in life. Even if he loses this one and Floyd beats Manny I bet he may be in the reckoning to get Mayweather next !

Guess Khan has to go for the knockout - when was the last time Khan stopped anyone ?? I remember a head clash with Barrera and some Jewish guy with a beard he floored in first ten seconds in last few years thats it.

If Sky dare try put this one on box office they can fuck right off

Lol Have to go anal again, I consider myself to be a genuine boxing fan, I am on earth, and I want to see Khan vs Algieri. Lol

I want to see how Khan does against Algieri. We know what Manny did less than 6 months ago. It's surprising to me more genuine boxing fans aren't interested too. Clarity is a wonderful thing, this fight will spread some around.
