This coming right off the heels of Khan saying Brook is a cherry picker. He's so blatantly ducking Brook it's hilarious. ::
:: come on, the only reason he's fighting Algieri is because he can't punch worth a damn. Algieri will get hammered.
Algieri should work solely on improving his power and he could win. But this is a chance for khan to be the guy with a sack for once and not the "receiver" like he usually is...
There is a reason why Khan is taking this fight. Algieri took a beating in both the Protestnikov and Pacquiao fights. Khan smells leftovers, high profile, damaged, powderpuff leftovers.
But in all seriousness, this fight really makes no sense. It doesn't do anything for Khan. It won't make anyone clamor anymore for a fight against either Mayweather or Pacquiao and it's only gonna fuel speculation that he is indeed ducking Brook. This is really a step BACKWARDS.
With khan, any time he can appear on cable and not get knocked out, (i.e. still be in the big fight sweepstakes)...it's a step forward. There's lots of guys at 147 who could ko him.algieri isn't one of them. That's a step forward.
Exactly. And if Khan stops the damaged version that Algieri must surely be by now......then its "I did a better job blah blah blah"...the fight makes perfect sense for nobody, except Khan.
Actually, appears as if Khan wants to fight Broner next. Not surprised, Broner can't punch at 147. However, I wouldn't mind seeing that fight. At least Broner would come to fight. I have no interest in seeing that running faggot Algeri fight anyone.
I'd rather see Khan-Broner. Greater chance that actually breaks out into a FIGHT and the trash talking will be intense pre-fight. But the winner better fight Kell Brook, damn it. This duckin and dodgin pisses me off.
Brook would stop Broner. Broner has NOTHING whatsoever for Brook. At least Khan has faster hands than Brook, and is slightly taller. Broner is too small for Brook, he's stationary, he's easy to hit, and has no power to deter Kell. It'd be a one sided fight. What's gonna happen to Broner eventually is that he's gonna EAT his way out of 140 (just take a look at his dad, he has fat in his genes), which is gonna suck for him since he's completely shit at 147.
Broner's FACE alone shows that fat in his genes. I think Broner has some talent, but he clearly lacks dedication. It's the biggest reason he's fighting in a weight division he just doesn't belong in. He's not a welterweight. He's at best a 140 and besides his attitude, he has very little going for himself. I'd love to see Kell Brook put a hurtin on him. With regards to Broner and Khan, Khan is definitely the favorite. But due to the bad blood, hopefully a fight at least breaks out and maybe we could see somewhat of a brawl. Broner can't really hit that hard at the weight, so Amir should be confident in letting his hands go. I think Khan basically just outworks him. When he eventually does eat his way out of 140, it's gonna be bad. I don't see a good ending for Broner in this boxing game.
Kahn should win and probably look good. That said how embarrassing would it be if Algeri whupped him ? Lol
Double-edged sword. On one hand, it's always a good day when Khan loses. On the other hand, I don't wanna see faggot ass Algeri beating any name fighter. That arrogant yuppie would brag endlessly if he beat Khan. Luckily, it wouldn't happen. Khan would light Algeri up.
Boner don't have the power at welter to carry that pathetic workrate, not even against Khan. He'll be button mashed into a bolivia of bemusement.
Precisely. You know the way we have fat-shaming and bald-shaming, well we should also have chin-shaming. Khan should have excrement put through his moms letterbox with a flag in it that reads "Your bitch ass son is scared of power and has a shit chin, eat shit".
Really? We are talking about 147 here. I'm going to have to go with the button masher. He's gonna be too fast and rangy for AB. Broner's gonna be looking for a big punch all night, only problem is - he can't punch at welter. Smart choice by Khan. Better to beat a mainstream name like Broner on American soil than to get KO'd on his home soil by Brook.
You chaps severely overestimate Amir and his little glass jaw... You don't need big power to hurt him and he never met a straight right he could avoid
Though I see Khan winning, I'm not convinced you have to be a devastating puncher to hurt him, or even stop him. I think his punch resistance is that bad.
Broner hits nowhere near as hard as Danny Garcia. Brook would knock Khan out. Thurman would knock Khan out. Broner doesn't have near the power of those guys.
