Comments Thread For: Algieri Admits Mayweather Would Logically Be Next

[SoulByThePound]

Algeiri will get a decision in macau

Arum won't allow MP to face a dangerous Opp who is not under his stable. Just my opinion. However Manny should get the decision. Probably even a stopage, maybe

Algieri's hit list:

Pacquiao
Mayweather
Canelo/Cotto winner
Golovkin
Froch
Kovalev
Hernandez
Wlad

Why only the winner of Canelo/Cotto. He's going Spartacus style. "KILL THEM ALL"

[umop-ap!sdn]

Pac is the more seasoned and proven fighter but Algieri is young with low mileage and has a height/reach advantage to pair with his good movement and slick boxing ability. Of course he could give Pac trouble at THIS STAGE in Pacs career. Not far fetched for anyone to say/think that Chris might outbox him through 12. Pac hasn't been "crushing" anyone for years and Algiri took Ruslan's best and came back strong from it. Don't see Pac stopping him and for that reason he can give pac some trouble and perhaps squeak out a decesion victory for himself. Can't wait to see how this one unfolds.

Algieri can outbox Manny but the real point is how will he deal with the speed. If he were to beat Manny it would be almost certain he fights Floyd.

What speed? Pacman is like 2 to 3 steps slower than he was in 2010, he has slowed down immensely at this point Chris is probably much faster than Manny now.

What's with the posts about Algeri not being "from the ******" or "from the hood". The **** do people make everything about class and race. ****ing ignorant dolts. Just appreciate an ambitious young champion for what he is.

Well Arum is the first one to mention it dude, he said Chris is not the typical hard on your luck type of boxing story, he is educated and defies the logic that most boxers come from the poverty stricken areas of the world.

He would be a great sell, and tap into the White american upper middle class market that UFC has tapped into by having so many white fighters be successful.

White kids in America who never were interested in boxing might look at Chris after he destroys Pacquiao and say if he can do it I can do it too, and maybe they will start training in boxing like they took up UFC wehn Matt hughes, chuck liddell, and randy couture were at the top.

algieri should beat pac pretty easily. a fight against floyd would be close. algieri prob beats him but floyd would get the decision.

arum tried the robbery to boost popularity angle with bradley and it didn't work out that well at least long term. i doubt he goes to that move again.

Yeah he even admit he tried to tap into the URBAN market with Bradley but he couldn't do it they didn't attach to him, it seems the urban youth look up to guys like Floyd and Broner, guys who are into worldstar hip hop and living thuggish and flashy and arrogant, no the working class, good father and husband story of Tim and his father and family.

Its why Andre Ward is not a super star, it seems in order to get that urban market you have to be like Floyd or Broner, the good guy is looked at as a boring loser in their eyes.

[mathed]

Wow, this guy and the people around him are touting him like a superstud or something. I have some bad news for the man, Pac will bust you up dude, especially when he feels the extent of your power. Algieri will break down as the rounds continue until a 9th rd stoppage....that's my prediction.

[Check_hooks]

Lmao this guy is hilarious

He would beat Floyd tho

But luckily for him, Pacquiao will destroy him so he can duck him
