Who do you guys have winning this fight? can the added pounds cause Algieri to not be as fast when boxing Pacquiao? does Pacquiao have a chance of going back to his old ways and chop Chris' head off?

Why 144? Make it @ 140 for Belt. I would have Pacquiao winning 9-3.

I don't know i guess it's either they don't want Chris Algieri to have any type of advantage or Manny Pacquiao can't make 140 anymore?

Maybe they want to set the precedent of 144 for the floyd fight. Sorta like how floyd already set the precedent for no one using puncher's gloves against him. It's a good idea for the sake of negotiations. Or, they want an advantage. Algeri's length and reach and the fact that he only fights on the backfoot and moves all fight could be concerning for Pacs team in this fight. I actually think this is a 7-5 type of fight for Pacquiao. Algeri's much better than people realise and poses a stylistic problem for Pac. I think Pacquiao in and out movement is going to help him lots in this one.

I was wondering what the weight would be. Didn't think they would meet in the middle though.

i believe pac can still make 140 but its not a smart move to just jump back down from 147 to 140. slowly move his way down. 144 for this fight and his next will prolly be at 140 if he doesnt fight floyd. i think they're trying to see how manny perform first to see if they'll go back down to 140 or not.
