Comments Thread For: Atlas: Algieri Could Be Getting Pacquiao at The Right Time

[hitking]

Agree with everything you said the last 2 posts except Bradley throwing the fight. it was a horrible strategy that Bradley used I just chalk it up as he knew he wouldn't get a decision even if he deserved the W.

If he hadn't signed the extension with Arum, I wouldn't be su****ious.

Because, they assume that Pac is the same fighter he was and underestimate the newcomer and they don't understand that styles make fights and some fighters who are not considered great can still have a style that gives fits to great fighters. No one is indicating Pac is an underdog, but that still does not mean that Algeries' style couldn't cause Pac problems. This is Boxing, anything can happen.

This is why it makes no sense for people to be complaining about this fight being made. This is actually an interesting matchup that's not easy to call.

Are you betting on this fight Atlas? Oh, I forget, you bet the house on Bradley to beat Pac in the rematch and lost.

In my opinion. No SPARK for this fight. Just plain BORING.

Imaging PAYING to watch this fight. I didn't pay to watch Canelo vs Angulo, Mayweather vs Guerrero, and now this garbage fight on PPV! Marquez, one of my favorite fughters yet i didn't pay to watch Marquez vs Diaz II.

pac has lots of distractions = true

Sad thing is, if Algeri does pull the upset. It will be seen as "he caught Manny at the right time" moreso than Chris being a good fighter. And I don't think that's fair. This isn't a known comodity like Maidana upsetting Floyd. This is an undefeated young, up-n-coming guy that nobody has been able to figure out. Personally, I wasn't that surprised when he beat Provo because Provo is simply one of these face first brawlers that these ****** newbie fight fans fall in love with even though he flat out sux. I would be surprised if he beat Manny, but not shocked. Manny looked like hammered dawg **** against Bradley. And even though we'll likely never know. I think there's a very solid chance Bradley threw that fight with a promise of a third fight from Arum. Because re-signing with Arum made no sense. And a guy with 12 KOs in over 30 fights coming out swinging for the fences made even less sense. That being said, Algeri isn't a puncher and he's not getting a decision against Manny.

Bradley throwing fights now? LMAO. Bradley went for the KO, like Marquez was gunning for the KO against Manny and got it. Both guys didn't want any questions unanswered or any more controversial wins. Might not have been the smartest strategy for Tim but not out of this world either. After all the **** he got from the first fight, you think hes just going to lay down for Manny? Why?

Makes no sense to sign extension? Maybe Top Rank just offered more money than everyone else. Bradley isn't really a big draw. Only big money fight over there is Mayweather and he probably got more in the Pacquiao rematch than he would of taking a flat fee from Mayweather

The SAD thing is that anyone really believes that Algieri EARNED the right to fight Pac, let alone on a PPV.
SAD SAD SAD, that this is what we are fed.

Why are people so focused on whether or not Algieri has "earned" a shot at Pacquiao instead of how the fight itself would turn out to be? If this fight can turn out be interesting, then there's nothing to complain about.

floyd just needs to pick pac so the world will shut the f up already. Until then if it looks like a duck, smell like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.

until then all Floyd's future fights are cherry picks.
