    Really?!?
    It's that Khan looks the part. Good jab, fast hands, decent power. But Khan doesn't have the brain to fight Floyd. Floyd would counter him early possibly dropping Khan but at worst getting his attention and slowing him. Then Floyd would drop the right on him all night. If Algieri can so easily...

    Khan has really just stayed the same, but become more conservative which kind of negates his own strengths somewhat as he is still getting tagged easily. People are downplaying Algieri though who is a very good, intelligent fighter himself. He got it all wrong against Manny, but most do. Otherwise, he has had an excellent career and I think he deserved a draw here considering he landed all the effective blows and made it his fight. Khan has always been a level below the top fighters. He beats some and loses to others. Based on that showing I now think Mayweather has a pretty easy time with him. You can't get tagged that much by the lead right, it is just downright sloppy.

    Khan did win the fight but he looked very uncomfortable in doing so, he was pushed back
    caught with right hands repeatedly, he was lucky the guy was not a puncher if that was
    Brook hitting him, it would have been goodnight over and out.
    This fight shows me he is not a strong welter, Porter would have steamrolled Khan I am
    not sold on Khan at welter.

    That's just stupid thing to say. Khan is one of the top fighters in his class, and outside boxer vs outside boxer = boring 2X, even less connects than Floyd's previous opponents.
