Chris Algeri is tougher than any 147 fighter other than Mayweather

[Outwest Exp 355]

I have no problem with Algieri the fighter. But he shouldn't be headlining a PPV fight. He's Lara with a few extra combos. Which is fine but not PPV worthy.

[BYT11]

I would rather see Chris Algeri. Dude is unbeaten, long ranch with a jab and knows how to use it, decent proven chin.

He is definitely a better choice over, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Amir Khan.
Pacquiao takes on people with a style not suited for him, that makes him great.

Is Bob Arum making these threads?

[BOXEO _]

Yea, his 147 resume is impressive, lol

Algieri is a beast. That's how nutritionist kick boxers are.

That was some really misplaced sarcasm. Nutritionists and educated people know how to get the most of their diet and training (see:Wlad). It's just that there are so few intelligent, educated people in boxing, simple folk might think it's actually un-beastly to be a nutritionist and have knowledge.

[Craveman]

I haven't seen him fight and I think Maidana smashes him anyway. Still, Mayweather's opposition is **** anyway.

[Bigg Rigg]

Theres no way Floyd would beat Algeiri

Algeiri is the kind of fighter than hes been ducking his entire career.

Floyd picks opponents that are usually shorter than him with a shorter reach and are flat footed with low volume.

Algeiri has better footwork and would boxes circles around him with throwing over 1000 punches a fight

Algeiri UD 120-108 x3

Wow.... You're joking right bro???

[Masters01]

He's the best 147 fighter on TR's stable that Pac could fight. The others:

Bradley - just beat him
Rios - just beat him
Marquez - pricing himself out and wont do VADA.
Provodnikov - just lost (to algeri)
Alverado - just lost
Abregu - who?

It's the most we can expect as fans, and people dont realise yet that it's going to be a tough, close fight for Pacquiao. Pacquiao is inevitably going to lose steam after this fight because people expect him to steamroll algeri, and he just wont be able to at all. It's the best fight for business, but perhaps the worse for reputation.

Is this fight at 147 or 140?
I'd be surprised if Manny drops down to 140.

Algieri is fine -- I like him... But no matter how intelligent and educated he might be, he doesn't have the required experience for fighting Manny.

[DoktorSleepless]

He has a case, at 140, not 147. Only fighter I favor over Algirie is Matthysse.
