Khan/Algieri is official

[Manos de Piedra]

Con is the most protected fighter that I have seen in a while. I hope Algieri beats him down once and for all.

You do know Collazo has been heavily avoided by top fighters for the last 5 or 6 years? And was coming off a big KO win over Ortiz, a guy who was an acceptable opponent for Floyd not too long before that. Theres a hell of a lot more fighters more protected then Khan.

Collazo is a top journeyman at best and besides Ortiz who has he really beaten besides a worn out Gonzalez? Khan is taking the safe route anymore in hopes of his dream fight against Mayweather which will probably not happen. If Khan really wanted to make a statement he would come to MSG and beat the holy hell out of Broner to lure Mayweather out.

He was unlucky not to get the decision over Hatton. I havent said Algieri is a good fight, pretty much any other fighter would be better but fighting Collazo, Alexander, Garcia, Peterson, Maidana in his first 33 fights isnt exactly a protected fighter, Wilders had 33 fights and fought one live fighter. Floyds opponents after 33 fights werent exactly the best either and not unreasonale to suggest Khans opponents have been better than Floyds. Canelos opponents were piss poor up until he fought Floyd. Hes no more protected than any other ticket seller.

After 33 fights Floyd had fought Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Emanuel Augustus, Corrales, Castillo x2 and chop chop Corley, and was going on to win his 3rd world title in his 3rd weight division and was considered a top p4p fighter. Khan is no where near that. Khan has fought some good fighters but from the guys you named he only beat 2, squeaked by maidana and lost to the other 2 (1 by KO), so you can't compare him to Floyd. but I agree with you on Wilder and Canelo.
