Chris Algeri is tougher than any 147 fighter other than Mayweather

[Calabis]

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

147....

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.

How many times have you seen algeri fight?

Your right he's really taking on a killer but nobody's beating rod salsa

Stop hyping up Algeri into something he's not. This fight for a PPV is a borderline joke people trying to justify this fight are embarrassing themselves.

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.

why not?

people says pac has problems dealing with boxers...

jmm and bradley showed this.....

people say pac will be no match for floyd...a very good boxer...

algieri is a young undefeated boxer...

i havent bought a ppv since mosley vs cotto. i'm definitely buying this one. i was almost gonna quit watching boxing but this is the kind of fight that gets my blood flowing!

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.

I hate this fight but sad to say I have to agree with this assessment.

Nope..

Porter is much more of a threat to Floyd, and so is khan, not to mention Bradley and manny.. Errol spence at welter is probably even a bigger threat

Algieri has one legit world class fight and people think he is the next joe calzaghe..

He is good but def not the biggest threat at welter..

Algieri definetly has some tools but he's not exciting. He doesn't sit down on his punches. I can appreciate a pure boxer but there's nothing about him that says PPV fighter. And I'm not paying top dollar to watch him. Even if it is against PAC.
