Comments Thread For: Algieri: I'm a Purist, I Wanted The Pacquiao Fight at 147

If it was at 147, a lot of people would have complained..."oh PAC dragged Algieri all the way up to 147. He's picking on these 140 lb'ers.

The fact is, PAC is small, is really a 140'er, and is already giving up 4 inches in height.

agree ... people that hate Pacquiao will come up with any excuse to hate on him. And yes EVERYONE In the REAL WORLD knows Pacquiao is a small guy.. even Mayweather admits Pacquiao is the smaller guy.. but still afraid to face him.

WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-0, 8KOs) has been watching Manny Pacquiao for years. On November 22nd, Algieri is going to challenge Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight title in Macau, China.

When they met for the first time, and went face to face at the kickoff press conference in China, Algieri admits that he was surprised with just how small the Filipino fighter was.

Though Pac is a successful WW campaigner, and even at one point wins a title in LMW of which his weight not belonged to; still undeniable fact that he is just JWW fighter. His average weight during scales was far below the limit of welters and just a little bit above the welter minimum, and unable to rehydrates more than welters as other welters normally do during fight time.

Excuses excuses excuses... You all know how weak of a move this is on Pacquiao's part but will defend it because of the Mayweather Pacquiao rivalry. This isn't cool and he should be criticized for it.

Truth is, Freddie has been wanting Manny to go down to 140 since the Bradley fight. This catchweight comes as no surprise. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Pacquiao vs. Crawford or Garcia in the near future. Freddie/Arum is not interested in fighting @ 147 anymore. This is why this fight is against Algeri @ 144, and not Abregu @ 147. For that matter, it is why Amir Khan is not on the agenda either.

DAFUQ. Manny is a "midget" he is small af.

It's not his fault his catch-weight fights prior were with slower opponents that were blitzed by him.

The excuses are getting quite elaborate...

The catch weight king at it again. So we can basically rule out Pac fight Maidana.

Mannu won a JMW championship miss me with that, Manny since Margarito has feasted on people below WW, it has been years since he fought a real one he aint drag up, but Manny continues to get a pass................
