This is an intriguing fight, Pac has never fought someone of this size and skill before. If I recall the reason he never fought Yuri Foreman was because Roach said Foreman was too big with the skill to match, Algieri is very similar. I expect him to fill out better at 147 and I'm interested to see how Pac handles the movement and speed.

No mention about Algieri's dangerous one punch KO power, huh?

I wish these two disliked each other or something, add some kind of hype to the event. Not only is this not an attractive matchup, but they are friendly as hell with each other.

If I was Algieri or Pacquiao, I would disrespect the hell out of my opponent by shoving him and letting him know to his face he is getting smashed. Then make some strong statements to the media about going for the KO on fight night. I mean, sell the fight or do something for real.

That would not only spark up interest and attention towards the event but it would also spark a real fire under both to perform and take the other one out come fight night.

But these two are not hiding the fact that this fight lacks appeal... If they would only put some effort into selling this fight.

War Pacquiao though... but man, it's hard for me to get excited like I normally get for PPVs for this one..

unlike fraud jr, he always ko's his opponents with his hands of stone.

I respect Manny for taking such a risky fight.

I think Chris is underrated; not a top tier guy but definitely no pushover.

No mention about his run as a welter weight either.. Weird
