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

[LAPete]

I'm w Freddie on this one. PAC when he catches him is going to take his head off! PAC by KO within 5.

Horrible opponent

[PacmanP4PLegend]

Roach often predicts KOs in just about all fights pertaining to PAC. The last time I actually believed him was against ODLH, but I honestly think he might be right this time.

[SceneSpectator!]

Algieri might be mediocre opponent but Roach is right when he said Pac should concentrate on his training and leave everything including basketball while on gym. He could not afford losing this match especially against an unknown fighter at this twilight point of his career.

Cant wait to read about it. i sure wont pay to see it.

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.

You have issues , just because you have "strong" feelings for him dosent mean everyone will cry and miss him. Personally speaking I wont care at all when he retires.

Ok, Roach, if he's nothing special...why is the fight happening? Yet your team constantly makes fun of Floyd for fighting guys he knows he can beat. Now if Algieri was a big ticket seller I can understand from Arum's point of view. But that's not the case. This business venture makes zero sense.

[gyllespie]

Thank you for clarifying to others what I have posted a few times before. Trainers do not pick or negotiate the fights. They can be consulted but they are NOT the button pushers.

Fine but it's not like Roach doesn't do his share of cherry picking. He'll let Cotto fight Sergio at 159 but Golovkin has to weigh 155? C'mon now. That's bs.

Also, why is Arum in favor of Pac-Algieri? The undefeated American coming off a big win story does not fly simply because outside of hardcore fans nobody knows who Algieri is. Arum said Khan-Pac was possible. Now why would he pick Algieri over Khan (a guy who could easily materialize big revenue)?

I am waiting on Teddy Atlas' evaluation before I twitter out my opinion of this fight.
So, all my many followers, please be patient.
