Chris Algieri at 147

I kind of agree. But... With the right management he could trade off his good looks and be marketed as the Great White Hope etc. Algieri just needs the right kind of image and he could get big fights at 147. He is decent and tough, but nothing special at all. He just doesn't have "it" he's too basic. He's just a decent text book boxer. Hence nothing special. Imo he looked awful in the Khan fight. His worst performance yet. He didn't do anything good in that fight but land a few overhand rights. He got away from his boxing that won him the Ruslan fight. He's regressed. I can ser him getting knocked out soon.

Chris Algieri always was, and never will be nothing special. I kind of agree. But...

He'll be top 10 for sure. Everyone who's trained and sparred with him say he is very underrated and a very hard worker. He handled Maidana pretty well in sparring. Also pretty hard to stop.

Youd have to match him against Diego Chavez in order to tell where he stands in the top 10 but Id like to see Algeri vs Spence. Itd be a good test for Spence

I dont think many people would want to fight him at 147, high risk, low reward fight for anyone at the moment. Thats why i think he should get some wins and become mandatory, thats the only way i see him getting a shot. I wonder why Al Haymon hasnt signed him also, he could promote him well on PBC with a talented white fighter from NY.

He could beat Broner, Guerrero, Malignaggi, Rios at welterweight. True for the last three no doubt. Broner might look like Broner-Malignaggi fight. I imagine it would be competitive. All of those fights would be great for Algieri right now. Think he could use time to develop against reasonable competition before getting back in with the top dogs of the division.

How well do you think Chris can do at 147 after the Khan performance, he has the stature to grow into the division and has a high level of boxing IQ in my opinion. I think with a good rebuild he can get into title contention and can win against a few top 10 guys. What do you guys think? His size is a huge advantage for him and it balances it out the fact that he doesn't hit hard. Add to that speed, reach and some good combination punching and we have a guy who could beat a great many welterweight. I rate Bradley very highly but the sheer size difference could hand Bradley a loss. He obviously can't beat May, we've seen what Pac can do to him. I think he has enough speed and athleticism to beat Maidana and Porter. Brook would be a tough task.

He'd beat Guerrero and Rios @147. That's about it. A Chaves-Algieri fight would be fun if he fights like he did against Khan.

Algeiri vs Peterson would be a decent bout

I don't like his chances of beating any of the top 10.

He beats Broner I know that.

He could beat Broner, Guerrero, Malignaggi, Rios at welterweight.

He might beat a few of the lower top ten but we have seen the best and worst of him.
