DR won a title and Algieri impressed me
I ate well tonight
"When You Get Rid Of Paulette, Everything Gets Better" Khan vs Algeria Fight Thread
- Thread starter yawn
- Start date
Lol at that list @Newzz Pac washes all them dudes except one, and that's the third best welterweight. Marquez is about to retire so he doesn't count. Maidana has no fight on the horizon so i'd consider him inactive. Thurman Brook/Khan would be 4,5,6Everybody wants to stan "the best", bUT outside of Floyd and Manny....there IS no clear 3rd best Welterweight yet. They are all on the same level: Thurman, Bradley, Marquez, Brook, Maidana, Porter, Khan, Algieri, etc. There isnt a clear cut "successor" yet...just a bunch a good fighters all at the same time which can make alot if 50/50 type matchups like last night.
Khan won, but Algieri boosted his stock with his performance. He faired much better than Alexander and Collazo did in only his 1st fight with JDJ
Khan won a tougher than expected fight so we know that Khan is better than Algieri, but not by much as we thought
Breh...there is no clear cut #3 Welterweight imo. There is nothing that tells me that Bradley is clearly better than Thurman, Brook, Khan, or Porter at this point of his career. Out of his last 5 fights, he was only impressive against JMM imo.
He didn't impress against Pacquiao (neither fight), Provodonikov, or Chaves
We will see how he does against Jessie Vargas.

Love the way Algieri was cutting off the ring in the first rounds but it was also a great adjustment by Khan to step away from that. It shifted how the match was fought, he cornered Khan many times early.

Brook basically needs to mix it up with Thurman . . Bradley . . and Khan if he ever stops runningBreh...there is no clear cut #3 Welterweight imo.

Brook made better adjustments today . . Gavin looked like he wanted to come out aggressive and he actually looked effective, but before long Brook began to set the pace. Brook looked much better against Gavin then Khan looked against Algieri

Mal the thing is I NEVER thought that Khan could ever beat Floyd..its one of the few times ive gone on record that this 147 version of Floyd would KO him...and I dont pick or foresee Floyd koing anyone these days lol...my issue with him regarding that fight is him earning that type of fight...Khan has a sellable name but he doesn't fight the right fights. Ever since the damn Julio Diaz fight (which known Floyd stan/idiot @Champ_KW thought that was enough to face him because of "nationalistic rooting interests") where he narrowly won he's had that entitlement ..khan should have been the one to face Devon Alexander for his belt back in Dec 2013...a victory over Devon would have got him a title and legit his claim to a shot at Floyd. but he dropped out of that and 2 things happened within a week of each other: Porter steps in and upsets Devon for his welterweight belt and Maidana picks up Broner ' s belt and because it was over a fighter who crossed over to mainstream got the Floyd fight. It's worse when just this past December he finally faced Devon and whipped him but it has no weight. What does have weight is Khan facing Kell Brook, who has the only welterweight belt not in Floyd's possession...This is a money fight and a fight, should he win, would earn him a shot at Floyd...but he's doing the same shyt all over again with the cherry picking and once again it backfired last night. Make no mistake I do think that Khan beat Algieri by a slim margin..take your pick 115-113, 114-113..or a draw..any score for Khan higher than that is BS..but as @LauderdaleBoss said this is a guy that Manny beat around the ring..won on an official card 120-102 which is unheard of..and Khan struggled with him...sadly you can see a post Pac Floyd go after him strictly because it is a W no matter how you take it and it would be that "soft touch" that everyone thinks would be perfect and needed for him
Damn bro, get off my jock. You're starting to sound stupid quoting the same thing over and over. The only reason why a Khan fight is considered is because of the fans across the pound that comes with it. It's definitely not his skills. And the more and more you hear his name for fights he probably didn't deserve is because of the box office. No different than Mexico and their fighters. Nationalistic rooting interest is why Floyd hasn't fought an American in a while. He's banking on National pride to bring fans to the table. I don't know why that's so hard for you to understand. Stop acting like a female begging for attention.
Hilarious....Bradley doesn't get the chance to fight Haymon dudes and the ring holds it against himBreh...there is no clear cut #3 Welterweight imo. There is nothing that tells me that Bradley is clearly better than Thurman, Brook, Khan, or Porter at this point of his career. Out of his last 5 fights, he was only impressive against JMM imo.

Brook n Khan would lose 10-2 ish to manny and don't try to sneak porter into the convo. Thurman's the closest. to Bradley. Of course it's all my opinion
Stop saying stupid things that I remember
...you brought it on yourself...remember that..you post right and it's copasetic

Hilarious....Bradley doesn't get the chance to fight Haymon dudes and the ring holds it against him
It should be held against him breh...he willingly re upped with Bob knowing there wasn't shyt else for him but that PAC rematch
Jesse Vargas N K9 fights is what he chose... if other nikkas get shine over him it is what it is
Thurman getting props fighting that breh from the UK, Luis Collazo, and Robert 'Crossfit' GuerreroIt should be held against him breh...he willingly re upped with Bob knowing there wasn't shyt else for him but that PAC rematch
Jesse Vargas N K9 fights is what he chose... if other nikkas get shine over him it is what it is
Porter gets props for stomping out paulie then getting his ass beat by porter
Brook beat porter that was impressive then fought no no dan
Maidana beat blown up 135lb'er Allday Buffet then gave floyd a total of 4 tough rounds
Khan looked good against Alexander and Collazo struggle against caged warrior
Even if timmy was Haymon, those ninjas don't fight each other
Maidana got the best opponent out of all em, but he got beat badly twice. Tim won one* typical shade
As for the fight.....Khan has fixed quite a few issues since his move up to welter. But he still is a sitting duck for aggressive counter punchers. Hilarious Khan has gone 3-0 and is 'rejuvenated' at 147, but will still get KTFO but giftset for the same tactical error.

Only in the 2nd round. Kahn is garbage as I thought. He getting away with a lot of head locks. And his punches have no pop on them.
