Algieri sounds real confident and does pose some style problems. That, plus his looks and background make this fight intriguing? Except that he's going to be up against a crafty, grizzled vet who has seen it all already. Yes, Pacquiao is slowing but he was hungrier and just plain better than a Bradley who fought an excellent fight against Marquez. Manny has plenty left in the tank and Algieri is going to find that out the hard way.

Pacquiao is at that stage where he needs a reason to be hungry to fight, he no longer has the hunger of a young lion.
Example, he showed extreme hunger against Marquez in the 4th fight he was motivated as hell than got knocked out and he was busting JMM up with combos after the first knockdown.
Marquez trash talk and the loss to Bradley motivated him.
the first Bradley fight he had no motivation at all, the rematch he was motivated especially after being robbed it left a bad taste in his mouth.
For this fight he will not be motivated, look at it, he is coaching a PBA team and playing the season opener. rumors are swirling that he doesn;t want to spar more than once a week for this fight. He is not motivated, and Pacman talking all that stuff about boxers not having to talk trash to motivate is BS, Pacman only gets motivated when someone lights a spark under his butt, Algieri is too nice and friendly for him.
This fight is going to be Algieri's to lose, if he doesn't win its his own fault he has all the advantages over an aging veteran and if he fails to deliver he has nobody to blame but himself, how can such a tall guy with reach and speed on his seed lose to a short giant dwarf with T rex arms who no longer has the power or foot speed he once had?

Pacquiao always has plenty of distractions and there are always rumors of a lackluster camp. Nothing new here.
Algieri's height matched with his boxing ability and movement are going to make for an interesting style clash against Pacquiao. I don't think Pacman will stop him based off the fact that he just doesn't KO guys anymore so who knows, this one could go either way to me.
See. This needs to be said. Manny's a laidback and very calm guy. Kinda like Bruce Lee( his idol). If you didn't know any better, you'd think he's not serious about anything, really. Then the bell rings!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha. There is nothing in his performances that says he is washed up, finished, glass-jawed, or any of the things I read daily. You'd have to be stuck under an object to think that the violent nature that made this man, is completely gone! Did you not watch Roidquez 4? The clinic he put on against Rios? Or if that didn't convince you all, the rematch with Bradley that shouldn't have happened anyway. You still have questions? About what? Hahahaha! Enjoy the beating he's going to give this kid, man. CA is not that good a boxer and he has a suspect chin. All this talking he's doing and as soon as Manny starts tagging him, he'll do what ALL Manny's opponent's do, RUN!!!!!!
