Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Trainer Eyes KO: Nothing Special About Algieri

[yoshik]

I guessing KO a 140 pounder is the only choice for Pac since he can't KO 147 pounders.

And when was Frauds last KO? And don't say Ortiz. Chump.

algieri is a special fighter. he has the heart of a true american rocky story. you can't teach this, you can only be born with it.

Please. I mean come on.

Anything but a KO will be embarrassing for Pacquaio IMO.

If he can't KO Algieri he should probably retire.

[Ganondorf]

Good. Exactly what I needed to hear. I have been and still am predicting a blowout. Manny within 4.

Do people still not understand ? Trainers do not negotiate or do contracts for who is going to get a fight against their guy. They may ask/debate who would be a better fight or who they like or don't and steer them in one way or another...Top Rank does the deal in this case. Promoters and managers set this stuff up....Roach didn't negotiate to get Algieri for pac.....Lord ! So he thinks Algieri is a waste of time or whatever...He didn't negotiate it, just trains after the fact !

Roach has way more input than a normal coach. He stated he wouldn't allow Mosley and Pac to fight at 147 after the Oscar fight, He also stated that Pac and Cotto would never fight again. Roach is as much match maker as he is trainer for Pacquiao

Can't wait to pay for this fight. Any fight Pacquiao is in, is worth paying for. Can't say the same for Mayweather because his fights are boring and pretty much the same thing over and over. Hate him or not Pacquiao kept boxing on the map.

Pacquiao kept boxing relevant and has made it exciting thru his whole career. You can't say the same about Mayweather since he was just retiring every other day, or was just fighting once a year, sometimes almost every 18 months.

So when Pacquiao is gone, EVERYONE will miss him. So if you don't pay to watch him live and on HD (I understand if you can't afford it though.) You will miss out on of the most exciting boxers of our generation. It's like not paying to see Ali fight live and in HD during his times.

Wow where did that batch of **** riding come from? STFU are you new to the internet, or did you just get out of jail, you sound too happy for no apparent reason, Algieri does not and should not be getting this fight with Pac.. There are better and more deserving fighters that have earned their spot, if this fight goes the distance watch out for a controversial score. Algieri is a lot better than most give him credit for, but he fought on espn 2 fights ago, Manny is losing $ on this fight, his promoter is supposed to have his best monetary interest and get him the most lucrative fights he can - Do you guys really think this is the case??? But I know the band wagoners will follow their idol till the wheels fall off.

So why is the fight happening if algieri isn't anything special? Admitting it's a **** fight then?

Because porter could have fought pac

Porter has Brook this month.

I was sure Pacquiao would get a KO but now that Roach is eyeing it I'm now sure it will go the distance. Roach doesn't do well at predicting KOs for his main fighter.
