Algieri: "Pacquiao hits harder than Spence!!!!"

If Manny was in his prime or even that time he fought you, would you say that he would beat that Spence? Algieri: Potentially. You can't put anything past Manny Pacquiao. He is one of those guys. You can't ever count him out. He's got intangibles that our fighters our generation have barely ever see. So, you can't ever count that man out. Was Manny faster than Errol? Algieri: Yeah uuh I mean yeah but they're different. They're very different. Errol's speed is related to his technique. Very sharp puncher, technically very sound. Manny is pretty much the opposite. His technique is not super sharp, but he's so fast and talented. So, there's alot of ways to generate speed. How would you relate the power between the two guys? Algieri: I would say Manny is probably a little more shocking with his punching. Ohh Algieri: He hurt you with punches that are surprising. Errol is like a thudding. He hits hard. He's a strong guy. He's a physically strong guy. He throws alot of punches. Errol is not a one punch guy. He's a break you down, hit you with alot of punches kind of guy. Whereas Manny can shock you with a single shot. Ohhh Wow really? Algieri: Yeah. yeah.

Tbh I feel Manny defense is often underrated. Of course he's no defensive genius but be blocks and make his opponent miss alot.It is underrated. Mayweather only landed 34% of his shots against Pac (Pac made only 19%), which was his lowest percentage in quite a while. Floyd usually averages above 50%. Against Canelo he landed 46%. As of power, didn't Mosley say that Pacquiao's power is so different from anybody else he's ever fought? Other than that though, Pacquiao might get knocked down by Spence because he lunges in too much. Spence is going to catch one of his lunges and knock him down. It depends if Pac sees it first or not. I just wonder how Spence is going to deal with Pac's speed. Pac may be 40 but he's still one of the fastest fighters in the sport. Pac throws in such awkward angles that he lands in places the opponent thinks there's two fighters in there.

So basically Pacquio has power but his technique is sloppy. You forgot to add that to your headline. His defense and punches are too sloppy to beat Spence. Don’t you think you’re downgrading Mayweather’s abilities by saying that?

damn coming from algeri who fought both of them is also a class A info,you can see spence on his previous fight how strong his punches is..theres something on pacmans punch.. i forgot the name of pacs sparring partner he says that during their training he feels the punches of pac just like someone is throwing a bricks on him..maybe thats the reason why everytime they face they have plan until they get hit and change of plan happens, survive until 12 rnds tsk tsk Algeri fought toe to toe on spence but on pacquiao he keeps his distance..totally different style..but if he fought pacquiao toe to toe it will not go to distance also

There you have it. That's a guy who has been in the ring with Pac and Spence. Criss wasn't scared to exchange with Spence while with Pac he ran. This is the telling tale what Pac's loaded punches will give Spence problems. CHRIS ALGIERI SAYS MANNY PACQUIAO HITS HARDER THAN ERROL SPENCE Chris: "I would say Manny is a little bit more shocking, and he can hurt you with a single punch. Erol is not a one punch guy"

heres what needs to happen first: pac vs thurman to take both WBA belts Spence vs porter for the WBC pac vs spence for unification Great idea a fight with Pacquiao would be much bigger if he had a belt

Tbh I feel Manny defense is often underrated. Of course he's no defensive genius but be blocks and make his opponent miss alot. But I agree with Algieri.on Pac technique. Its far from textbook. He used his in and out movement in his prime to make opponent miss but now he got slower feet. I love Manny but I'd put my money on Spence and maybe even by KO. Manny will never fight like Garcia just to survive. He'll fight to win and he will get caught by something big. Thats what I think might happen if they fight.

Not hard to believe. Speed accounts for a lot. Manny is 40 years old. He is not beating Spence. LOL will see.

algieri was aggressive against spence! algieri ran against pac! But he did knock him down like 22 times. Why didn't he trap him along the ropes like Spence did? Oh, I forgot he doesn't know how to cut the ring off.

I mean that doesn't make him a harder puncher. It simply means he has a different kind of power, the fast kind. Spence is the thudding kind. Personally from the eye test, I'd say Spence hits harder but since u see it coming it doesn't necessarily put you down. Punches you don't see are what end up "hurting" more not because they are more powerful, but because you don't expect it so the human brain goes into shock.

Manny hits harder than a hell of a lot of guys. He picked Spence to beat Manny so maybe you weren't listening to that or didn't want to hear it. Funny thing is Spence knocked Algieri out while Manny only knocked him down 7 times but could not or did not finish him off. funny thing is algieri fought a completely different fight vs pac/spence. against spence he was aggressive. against manny, he was just trying to survive.

It's funny, Algieri looked pretty shocked each time Spence knocked him down. Even more shocked when the ref waived it off. He is probably right that Pacquiao hits harder but he definitely got stopped by one of them. algieri was aggressive against spence! algieri ran against pac!

Prime Manny beats Spence. At this point I feel like Spence destroys him though. I dont want to see that fight at all. Thurman vs Spence and then Crawford.Maybe prime Pacquiao beats Spence and maybe he doesn't. Fights don't have a winner until they actually happen and the rest is just guesswork and opinions. My opinion is nobody beats Spence in a real fight for many years to come and that includes Thurman and Crawford.

Why are people surprised? This is true and something I've been saying for a while with Spence. He's not that destructive type of hitter that will stop you with one shot. It's just his offense is so consistent round by round that he eventually breaks you down and stops you from the accumulation of punishment. Thurman is another guy who has more single shot power than Spence.
