This guy can't fight on the inside, he has a glass jaw, no power and has virtually no defense. Algieri hit him with the same punches time and time again. Looping right hands you could have seen from yesterday. Lead left hooks. Ripped in the body shots.

The thing with Khan is he's got himself a winning streak through cherry-picks and plenty of hype with the casuals, he's a easy KO victory for either Floyd or Pacquaio, and he will sell a pay-per-view, no doubt.

If I were Arum or Ellerbe i'd be on the phone to Khan today with my best offer, he's a zero-risk golden goose for a promoter.

I really wish my guy El Dinamita had gotten a crack at Khan, he would retire Amir.

I just wish someone would retire khan.

Thurman would do it but Khan is afraid to fight him.

I actually bought into the Khan hype when he dropped Roach for Hunter and didn't lose a round in two fights. His weaknesses were clearly exposed last night. Not a good pressure fighter and Floyd will EASILY beat him. Khan and Hunter clearly looked passed this fight and it almost cost them. How can they not have a plan B though? Both trainer and fighter looked puzzled the whole fight. Great game plan by Algieri and Jackson. I had Algieri winning the fight.

Khan is just straight up overrated he's been exposed several times already so it should be no surprise.

Hunter is also extremely overrated

To be honest, the three of them bore me. There are far more entertaining fights out there than anything involving these three.

I must admit, I would have been the guy telling you that you were crazy prior to this fight but you are absolutely right and i'm wrong. Overrated. I couldn't believe the look on Khans face while in the clinch. He was looking to his corner as if to say "What do i do? What do i do? This wasn't part of the plan". Agreed on Hunter. His commentary in the corner is entertaining but i've seen him in the losing corner more often than not.

Pacquiao isn't in a position to be clamouring to fight anybody at the moment.

Who knows where Khan will be in a year & how Pac himself will be after major surgery.

Khan blew it Friday night. No one wants to see him get shutout by Floyd. Now i'm sure fans will focus on Thurman and GGG as the next multi-milion dollar Floyd opponent. But there's no way Floyd opts for either. Cotto is the horse to be betting on in this race and it's race to lose if he looks past his first title defense this month.

I'm still betting on Floyd fighting Garcia in September

What ever you critisism of the 3 of them, boring isn't something you can say about Khan or Pacquiao.
Khan is seldom in a dull fight and Pac is one of the most exciting attacking fighters I've ever watched

These look the most likely options to me too

I've always said this long ago that Kahn was not in the league of either fighter, people assumed that because he was able to beat Alexander (who makes no adjustments) that he was going to be able to show he could best Floyd or Manny. Algieri isn't a big puncher at all and we saw the Usain Bolt of Boxing (Amir Kahn) actually running, no counters were ever thrown by him while he was on his Motorcylce (forget bike, you couldn't catch dude with a 20 ft catcher's mitt).

I can't believe how hard people were riding Kahn's jock, Algieri backed him up all night, imagine what Floyd or Manny does to him??

Khan is muttering that he appreciates Virgil's technical knowhow BUT he knows his body better than anyone else. He doesn't want his 'natural ability' to get lost as after all he had great amateur success with his 'natural ability'.

In short blame Virgil now and move on to the next trainer

I'v been critical of Khan before, Because he became annoying with this sh.t challenging Mayweather/Pacman I know he's got to look after his
family and get the biggest fight's out their and cash in while he still can, He should fight Danny Garcia or beat Maidana again and he'll make
good cash, Come too think of it he could fight Kell Brook in a BIG money fight in the UK.......I GOTTA SAY IT REALLY ANNOYS ME WHEN I HEAR
PEOPLE SAY THING'S LIKE HE HAS NO CHIN/LACK'S PUNCHING POWER..........ETC ETC ETC ETC ETC,
Khan puts not only his CHIN on the line but also his HEALTH and his LIFE on the line every time he steps in the ring
so I take my hat off to him but please TBE and PACMAN DON'T LISTEN........THIS WON'T BE A FAN FRIENDLY FIGHT
THAT BAD NEWS FOR FLOYD AND PAC......................P.S.sorry about my grammer and spelling D
