    Lol Pac vs Provonikov wouldn't be legit either

    People were only saying "Sure, that fight isn't too terrible" because of the crappy roster Top Rank has around WW. It was like do you want another Marquez or Bradley fight, or Provonikov???

    What ever happened to fighting WW contenders Manny??? Bradley is the only one he's fought since Cotto and Clottey.

        What happened to mending relationships and matching him with Golden Boy fighters???

        Oh yeah, it's Richard Shcaefer....but WAIT.....he's not there anymore.....

        So it wasn't all about Richard Shcaefer hating Bob Aru, and that's not the reason behind the cold war???

        Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

          Pacquiao should get no props. He makes no decisions, just fights whoever they put in front of him.

            provo beat alvarado who was coming off a big win against undefeated rios, he gave bradley (top ten p4p fighter) complete HELL and almost stopped him many times. provo was ranked very highly at 140 and a fan favorite.

            karass is a journeyman. he is tough, but a journeyman. josesito lopez was coming off a loss against canelo and his only achievement is making ortiz quit. wow big whoop. ortiz ain't that great.

            and broner was no good at welterweight, he struggled against feather fisted and past prime malignaggi and he was grossly overrated. completely overrated.

            and in terms of skill algieri is FARRRR better than maidana. algieri can box and move, he knows how to utilize his range well, good counter puncher, good defense. all maidana knows how to do is plod forward and throw weird punches.

            here are the facts:

            aligeri is #3 ranked jr welterweight, undefeated, wbo world champion, young and prime, slick pure boxer, tall and rangy with a good ring IQ

            pac will be fighting TWO highly ranked, undefeated slick boxing world champs whereas floyd is fighting the same slow plodder twice.

            why are you so scared to give pac credit????

            Provonikov is a good 140 fighter, but what is his resume??? He beat Alvarado, lost to Bradley in a tough fight, and lost to Herrera......

            Karass and Lopez were at least decent wins at 147. Karass would go on to beat Berto at least at 147, and Lopez previous fight at 147 was a stoppage win over Ortiz at least. And Broner was at least a multi division champ coming off a win over a WW titlist. And don't twist around ****....damn near everyone said Broner was going to have a field day with Maidana, and picked Broner to win.

            So no....beating Provo at 140 isn't better than getting three decent wins at 147

            If Floyd fought Algieri, what would people be saying??? Oh my god the hate that'd receive. Floyd fighting Guerrero or Maidana is at least fighting top ranked contenders/other champion in his weight class.

            If you're going to fight someone from 140, it better be like Hatton in 2007 or Bradley in 2012, the best fighter there.

              The fact that Maidana did as well against Floyd as he did makes him better than Algieri LOL

              Algieri is someone no one knew or gave a **** about a few months ago, who was fighting a guy 14-12 less than a year ago. C'mon man. He should fight more fights a 140 and establish he's THE GUY there, or move up to 147 and fight some decent guys there before fighting someone like a Pac or Floyd.

              I give Manny credit when he fights legit fights. This sure as **** isn't. He's fighting a JWW contender for the 147 title.......

              How you could possibly give credit for this, but then crap on Floyd fighting ****ing champions in his own weight class, is beyond me.

                yah but the majority of everyone weren't against it like they are with algieri. i thought pac has a hard time with pure boxers and counter punchers? algieri is a pure boxer, with a high IQ, prime, and very tall and rangy so wouldn't that make this an interesting fight especially considering pac is well past prime?

                  Pac fans talking about Algieri like he's the 2nd coming of Sugar Ray Leonard LOL

                  Pac fighting Herrera would be better. Herrera just beat THE GUY at 140, and beat Provonikov, even clearer than Algieri did.

                    no it doesn't it just means floyd ain't good against guys who attack him and throw punches from weird angles.

                    again algieri is #3 ranked jr welterweight, wbo world champ, a tall and slick rangy pure boxer, prime, undefeated, etc. etc.

                    it doesn't matter if no one knew him before because EVERYONE knows him now. stop looking into the past. people didn't know who pacquiao was until he demolished the heavy favorite ledwaba.

                    and how is algieri not a legit opponent, but you consider guys like karass and josesito decent/legit wins???? stop hating it's obvious.

                    algieri is an american dream story in the making before our eyes. stop hating on this guy. he stepped into fire and beat the siberian beast they call provo.

                    give the guy some credit!
