    Honestly I respect anyone who didn't have an amateur background and made it all the way to be a world champ. Seems like a good kid. I like him.

      Chris's achievements in the sport of boxing are astonishing. He's definitely a big name in and around 147 pounds.

      A fight he should persue is Amir King Khan. It would be a high speed chess match with Khan putting him in cheque mate in the late rounds.

It's just he doesn't have the power to make Pacquiao respect it. They say power is born and not made. And Algeri doesn't have the best chin in the world either. He did well in his career for what he had. Not to mention he started from kickboxing. I respect Algeri. He's got heart.

        Rios was target practice. Algieri at the very least had movement and wasn't a sitting duck. Chris got dropped cuz he tried to punch, so he gave openings. Hard to do against Rios, when you don't even punch and all you do is stand with your hands up.

        Algeiri didn't throw with conviction

        He didn't plant his feet .

        He was punching whilst moving

        And let's be clear here- his gameplan was to ko PAC

        Let me repeat- algeiri did not try and win

        Rios did.

        Watch the fights again closely

        Just because rios didn't land doesn't mean he didn't try. He was swinging big and missing late on in that fight

            No amateur experience and transitioned to become a serious pro. Beating Emmanuel Taylor and of course one of the most hyped fighters in Provodnikov who gave Bradley hell and I think should've won that bout. Then to get up from being knockdown twice and a swollen eye and win the WBO belt was mesmerizing.

            After that I was very amazed at the heart he showed against Pacquiao getting up from so many knockdowns and still going to the decision.

            Anybody fighting Algieri got to come with their A game cuz this man ain't going no where.

            Yeah hes a future p4p contender for sure.Pacman was lucky that his trainer lost the key and couldn't let him out of the cage ....

              Box Office's thoughts about Algieri-Pacquiao....

                That was before he fought Provodnikov. You cant even get it right you dumb ass.

                  Oh ok so he was an "easy defence" for Provodnikov, not Pacquaio.

                  Yeah....that makes you sound better

                    You know what sucks? That wasn't banter, you went snooping through my history to find a sucker punch intended to bury me in my own thread.

                    You were right about not wanting to associate yourself with "other" Khan fans. For good reason too.

                    You're so up your azz you're calling the same people tardish or c.ock suckers that changed their signs for you when you got banned. Provided it was only moral support, but even then. I actually held you high regards. Sigh.

                      I snooped through your history because I remember you making threads about Alexander, hyping him up and saying he could still beat a lot of top people.

                      Yet now you're saying Algeiri beats him just to defend Khan's choice of opponent.

                      Meantime, I found that gem.

                      I didn't ask anyone to change their sigs for me....lol I mean yeah thanks I guess but I don't care about having friends or "groups" online. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
