Manny Pacquiao will beat Chris Algieri on November 23, Amir Khan predicts.

Khan, who wants to fight Pacquiao next year, says that “Pacquiao will be the winner.”

“He’s a stronger boxer, he punches harder, he has a little bit more quicker movements. He’s more explosive. I think that will win him the fight,” Khan told Fight Hype.

The British-Pakistani boxer also said, though, that Algieri is a good boxer and also has advantages such as being taller. 

“But I think Manny will know how to deal with that,” he said.

Khan also noted that both Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have been declining recently but both still remain good fighters.

“Everyone gets at that age, they get old, you can start seeing a slight dip in their careers,” Khan said of both Mayweather and Pacquiao.

“But don’t get me wrong, they’re both very experienced, and that’s what wins them the fights. They’re very smart, and they’re good fighters. That’s what gets them through it. You can see a little dip, but they’re still good enough to win fights.”
