Comments Thread For: Algieri on Pacquiao Fight Critics: It's Just Sour G****s!

[gamefrk]

If you guys have seen Algieri's interviews posted by BoxingScene you'll know that he's very confident about winning the fight. Margarito & Oscar were the only 2 tall fighters that Manny faced & none of them had the movement that Algieri displayed against Ruslan. Algieri believes that his long jab & movement is gonna get him the decision.

Here's the 2 part interview (about 40 minutes long).

The majority of the people don't want to watch this fight. Pac's about to retire and he gets paired with Algieri, plus the fight is going to be in Macau? Arum's so ******.

Btw, for some of you who did not notice, most people were hating on this fight (rightfully so) but then the glove issue was brought up again for Mayweather and Maidana, so most people are focusing on that right now.

I'd rather watch Mayweather vs. Maidana II than this.

Where are all the Floyd haters now? It's real quiet on this thread! It is unbelievable that so many haters call Floyd a "cherry-picker," but have nothing to say, or a billion excuses, when it comes to this fight (and Rios too). When is the last time Pac fought a WW champ? Timothy Bradley doesn't count because he took the WW title form Manny, fought a 140 in Ruslan, and another 140 in Marquez, then lost to Manny again! The excuse that "he can't fight them because they're Haymon fighters," is lame because he knew that when he re-signed with TR. Fact is, Manny has been totally irrelevant since the KO, and it's only one way to become relevant again...avenge your KO loss to Marquez.

The thruth HURTS.

Dang Provodnikov for not finishing Algieri!

I would have much rather had Pac vs. Provod.

I'll give this Algieri guy a chance though. On paper, he gives Pac some problems.

I'm still buying it (can't help it, no way I'm missing a Pac fight.). I'll just have to make some lemonade with the buckets of lemons Mr. Arum just dropped on us.

Hopefully, we get a great fight.

I agree with you 110% brother. Sure, being boxing, anything can happen in Macao, but I would be a liar if I said I wouldn't rather see Ruslan in the ring with Manny, regardless of how the Algieri/Ruslan fight played. out.

STYLES MAKE FIGHTS.

But even trumping that, is the fact that shots at titles/cash cows are earned.

Just imagine the reaction if floyd was to fight this guy... so we cant be hypocrites and give manny a pass here.. This fight is trash on all levels and the fact that its PPV its a big "**** you" to fans, this fight should be on CBS for free, we already know the undercard will be atrocious. I hope this crap does less than 200 buys.

Manny isnt getting a pass. The fight stinks. But If Floyd were to fight this guy...it would be a better fight. Simply because Floyd sucks!!!!!

[ButtScratcher^^]

The truth is if provo had won that fight. It's definitely pac vs provo.

if you look at what Algeiri has achieved, there are a handful of better opponents for Pacquiao but style wise this is a tough fight for him. Chris is much taller, longer reach and is pretty damn quick.

When this fight was first announced I thought it was terrible but when you factor in all of Algeiri's physical advantages, it doesn't look so bad.
