Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha!!!!!! I agree! He is a Manny hater for real. Look at how ****** he looked after the Bradley rematch. Smh. He did all that ****** Manny bashing before the fight. He even ranted about the Canelo/Lara fight on live TV, Friday. Hahaha. Lara had the fight until he felt Canelo's power. He went from boxer to runner. Canelo has more experience under the big lights and it showed in that fight. He made the adjustment from boxer to puncher and Lara lost the ring generalship edge right then and there. He didn't know when to move or when to let his hands go. He had ineffective movement versus Canelo's effective aggressiveness.Comment

rule Of Thumb..........
Rule of thumb, Manny can still do everything he did in 2009. FACT. Otherwise, he would've lost to Bradley in the rematch. CA is talking to much like every other Manny opponent. On fight night, Manny is going to show dude speed, angles, power, and experience he's never even dreamed of. I don't care how smart he is outside of the ring. He cannot match Manny's IQ in the ring.Comment

Whether Atlas pick is correct doesn't matter. All the things he pointed out are true though and should be obvious at this point. Pacquiao is becoming a shell of his old self. If he can't beat Algieri, he should honestly think about retirement because with respect to Algieri, he is no where in the league of a prime Pacquiao. In fact, you wouldn't have dreamed in a million years a guy like Algieri would of survived more than 3 rounds with Pac in his prime. But this version of Pac has the chance to be taken by just about anyone he steps in the ring with. Sad it's gotten to that point but it's the reality of sports. What once was, will never be again as father time catches us all.Comment

[QUOTE=richardt;14780448][QUOTE=radiotracer;14780437]It's true. There's very little uproar/criticism over this fight selection. But if it were the other guy that picked Algieri, it would be criticized as badly as Garcia vs. Salka.

i agree. pacquiao isn't what he was 4 or 5 years ago. algieri is young, prime and hungry, and has all the tools to frustrate pacquiao. this is a tough fight for the old pacquiao.Comment

There should be an uproar about Pacquiao fighting a young, skilled, undefeated champion in his prime, after already fighting against the best names available? If anything, that's what I think Floyd SHOULD do by fighting guys like Thurman and Porter instead of going for a rematch with Maidana.Comment

Algieri didn't earn a fight with Pacquaio, neither did Brandon Rios. Even the first time against Tim Bradley, Bradley hadn't done anything at 147 really. But his resume at least could justify the match. The fight with Algieri is only being made because Top Rank wants to keep their profits in-house, and they have a very limited stable of guys at Welter. If it wasn't Algieri, the opponent would have been Provodnikov or someone of lesser status.
And if Algieri loses, we'll probably see Pacquaio vs. Vargas next.

style wise, it's tough for an aging Pac but Pac's experience should help him. He has better skills overall, but if Algieri moves and uses his reach, then he'll frustrate mannyComment
