Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[The Big Dunn]

I respect Manny for taking such a risky fight.

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

did you hear of chris before the ruslan fight?

did you hear of chris before the ruslan fight?

Actually I did. Not for his boxing but as an accomplished scholar/student; that in turn made me start looking at tape.

I can only imagine the outrage and disbelief had this been Mayweather vs Algieri. Now Paq fans are scrambling doing damage control "Algieri is tall doe". No, I'm sorry, this is a cherry pick that's right up there with Danny Garcia facing Salka. This is the equivalent of Floyd facing Ricky Hatton's brother. This fight should be on Telemundo, what a disgraceful abomination.

The shamelessness of many, but not all, of Manny's fans is on full display. If ALgieiri were fighting danny garcia, floyd or Broner next there would be no "style analysis" and all the other BS things manny fans have done since this fight was in the making. His length and height and blah. blah, blah wouldn't be discussed, let alone a factor in the fight. It would be all about who he fought prior and that he never fought at 147. There also would be endless talk of his coming in as a 14-1 underdog.

Sure would be nice to see posters analyze fighters and fights with the same microscope.

but, but , but .. he tall doe.

^ lol the thought of garcia or broner getting anywhere near algieri

why would they fight a young undefeated champion when they can fight rod salka and make same money

Floyd would not take this fight under any circumstances. Too dangerous, not enough money/publicity.

Floyd fights known quan****** (usually flatfooted punchers) with recognizable names for minimal risk. His average fan has a 4th grade education and wears their pants around their knees so he gets away with it.

Arum could easily rig the scorecards to make the Mayweather fight happen. I think Pacquiao desperately needs an early KO in this fight, and I'm not so sure he's capable of doing that.

If he wanted an early KO, he would've fought Abregu

So, in what round will Chris Aljelly knock Pacquiao out?

Pac fans be like... "He's tall doe. "

Most only know Aljelly for being tall and for being mobbed by lots of pretty women.
