Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Algieri Reminiscent Of Dempsey-Tunney

[hitking]

im pretty sure chris isnt a top rank fighter, arum just has a tremendous man crush on him lol

Pretty sure Arum sees big $$$ in Algeri. Handsome, educated, well spoken. I'm sure he thinks he can do some Oscar **** with him. Depending on how far gone he thinks Manny is. Pac could find himself on the ass end of another controversial decision.

I'm not hating on the match-up, only the hypocrisy of Arum (and some posters here) who had so much to say about Floyd choosing to fight the match-llelterweight Champion (Maidana), yet Manny is facing the WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion (Algeri) which no one knew existed until he narrowly survived a match with Provodnikov.

Arum's gonna be Arum and the dumbasses around here are gonna be dumbasses. It is what it is. Personally, I like the Manny-Algeri match-up more than the Floyd-Maidana match-up because Chris is new blood and we don't know his ceiling. If he beats Manny we potentially have a new star. We know what Chino is. If he had beaten or beats Floyd. Its more an indicator of how far Floyd has slipped. Kinda like when Glen Johnson starched Roy.

ya, Algieri is totally like tunney

Algieri is a legend moving up from a lower weight. He's exactly like him!

:AOR: Chris is new blood alright...sacrificial lamb. If Maidana beats Floyd, Floyd is slippin. If Chris beats Manny Manny cant be slippin huh? You wont give Maidana credit for just beating Floyd the great lol. youre a piece of work

I've seen Algeri twice, against Taylor and Provo. And IMO neither of those fights were close. The KDs combined with the ridiculously ****** 10 point must system made the scoring in the Provo fight close. But I thought Algeri controlled the fight. Either way, I think you're missing my point. Yes, in paper the fight is a mismatch. But so was Algeri-Provo. But until we find a level of comp that Chris can't compete at. Everything else is just a guess. No matter how educated the guess may be.

Check out the fight against Jose Peralta at some point and let me know if you don't see Algieri's ceiling. He will be destroyed by Pacquiao.

Notable upsets include- John H.Stracey/Jose Napoles, Lloyd Honeyghun/Don Curry & Buster Douglas/Mike Tyson. They can happen!

Ohh no no no no.... Bobster man..... Come on. ****... if only that fight wouldn't have taken place in Algieri's hometown, we'd be getting ready for Pacquiao-Provo.
