I can't agree with you, it was a disaster for Khan. If Khan had won big (a KO or a truly dominate performance), I think public opinion might have swayed Floyd. This way Floyd has the high ground when he asks why should I fight Khan, he didn't do as well against Algieri as the guy I just beat.
I can't say the fight helped Algieri (is 2 losses in a row ever good?), but it didn't hurt him that much, in my opinion.
Almost forgot I wanted to say I really enjoyed this fight!
I agree. It wasn't a very good showing from Khan, but on the flipside I think Algieri is underrated too. Khan showed that he is a league below the Manny/Floyd level. He doesn't deserve a big fight on the back of these close fights against people he is big favorite to beat. But then again Maidaina got two fights with Mayweather so it is topsy turvy land. Expect Mayweather/Khan next.
