Id personally like to chris fight maidana in his comeback
And even see chris fight soto karrass..
if not those guys get him in there with victor ortiz .
I would disagree. Going into the Pac fight, Algieiri was an untested bum that had never fought at WW and who got the fight because he beat Provo in a close fight-Provo is one of the over rated power/brawlers NSB constantly over rates because he fights tough in losses.
He would likely KO ALgieiri. Algieiri doing well against Khan was because Khan is another NSB guy that is getting overrated. In his case he is getting the Manny, Margs, PWill etc. "didn't fight Floyd" bump.
Khna has talent and some good wins but also has shown a weak chin and an inability to look good when it really matters.
Like I said earlier hating Floyd is fine, but when you elevate a 20-2 over 30yr old ex kickboxer with no amateur experience, who won a JWW title over Provo over Berto, a 2 time WW champ who has wins at WW even at his diminished capacity, then it gets a little too much.
And yes, I think Floyd is lying and this isn't going to be his last fight.
He isn't rated at all on this forum. They picked Collazo to stop him.
Also Algieri WAS tested. He pulled Upset of the Year with one eye shut, so if that's not a test then tell me what is? His 0 amateur pedigree ON TOP of the fact he had only 19 pro fights for someone who hadn't boxed amateur makes it all so sweet.
However, I do agree Mayweather is scrutinized more than Pacquiao who can fight guys coming off losses or 0 WW fights and it's all good.
Algieri turned to boxing in his 20s and in 20 fights was a World champion. You have guys like Rios or Brook with good amateur pedigrees taking forever. This isn't the Flyweights either. So, he is one heck of a talent. How many people you know are two sport World champions? People just don't want to look past the "out of the cage" joke.
Chris got this far with a McDojo trainer, but now he has a proper boxing coach who knows how to utilize whatever he has for potential and allocate it properly, which he did.
Yes, he improved, duhh.
Chris has improved tremendously but the Khan fight also took the prime years out of him. I'd be very doubtful we will see him that strong or hungry again. It was a once in a lifetime performance against an elite-level fighter.
Isn't that the same with you Floydtards who give Cotto all the props but prior to Manny absolutely mauling him into quitting NOW you love Cotto?
Cotto needs to beat Canelo to fit your argument, completely ignoring the fact Cotto was owned by Austin Trout the same guy Canelo knocked down and beat with somewhat comfort.
Its like how you ignore the fact that Amir Khan fought the ruthless and dangerous version of Marcos Maidana and that Mayweather got the left overs, he is still the same fighter that's what Garcia said he's just older and more fatter now but Floyd fought de prime version innit?
:rofl:Hold on...did you just compare Algeri to fvcking Cotto?
Algieiri is a bum who fans that hate Floyd are giving props to fit their argument that Algieiri/Manny fight was better than Floyd/Berto.

i dunno if he IMPROVED from Ruslan -> Pac -> Khan
it was more of a change in style... hard to say if he actually improved..
but as far as i can tell, his punching power is still ****, since he landed overhand rights flush on khan's domino chin but didnt drop him lol.
without power, using that kinda style, i cant imagine him going very far lol.
it was definitely a lot more exciting to watch though, and who knows if hes sticking with the style, or if that was just the plan against khan.

Berto has done more sure, but he's washed up and was never thaat big to begin with. He was 2 time WW champ by beating names that don't exactly signify excellence, and he's lost to a handful of not that great fighters in recent years. Add in the fact that he's been fighting once a year lately in addition to his unimpressive performances in wins against low level competition. This isn't even about Algieri being good so much as it is about Andre Berto being incredibly underwhelming as of late - I wouldn't exactly be stunned if he lost to Bundu, Jo Jo Dan or Frankie Gavin right now. Prime Berto beats Algieri probably, but he's just not that Berto anymore.
Berto has more experience and has accomplished more than Algieri has, but without a doubt Berto is in a worse spot in his career now than Algieri was going into Pac fight. Berto hasn't looked good in a long time, and would very likely lose to Algieri if they fought now.

Algeri is far better than most people give him credit for. Most people had Algeri getting destroyed by Khan but gave Khan hell and Khan isn't a pushover.

unfortunately manny's fans are mostly trolls, manny algieri was a joke, and on fight night it was proved why. i still believe berto shouldn't be fighting floyd, i mean, he is getting paid handsomely for nothing. he should have gone with porter imo, easy style for floyd and the guy actually deserves it more than berto. he just did what chino did, defeated broner.
GGG, Lara, Porter, or Thurman would be choices all of us could be happy with. Berto is a choice that you are watching only to see Floyd dominate.
maybe worst???? hahahahahah please lets be real. IT IS WORSE! algieri was ranked top 5 at jr welterweight, undefeated, prime, world champion, coming off a big upset win against hard hitting provo, true rocky story etc.
what has berto done lately?????? beating josesito lopez?? hahahhahahaha. getting KO'ed by journeyman karass and embarrassed by mediocre guerrero???? that's pathetic.
algieri got embarrased by legendary pacman, and barely lost against khan (had him winning 5 rounds easily), a fight he was a heavy underdog in. no shame in any of that. at least algieri isn't getting ko'ed by journeyman with no defense.
So Floyd should fight Algeri next right?
Agree, Berto/floyd is an absolute joke because Floyd is way better than Berto.
Manny/Algieiri was an absolute joke because algieiri had never fought at ww and was a kickboxer. You had Manny fans actually arguing it was "a difficult style matchup".
Either way Andre Berto is a better WW competitor than Algieir, has a better career and resume than Algieri, and even though he is washed up shot to hell and on the downside of his career he is still ahead of Algieiri at his apex.
