    there are other cases in his career, but that one validated the fact

    If pacquiao is just gonna run like mosley did(without any offense at all) he would expose any fighter alive by his movement. That wasnt boxing, that was surviving. I understand when bradley did that to pac, or when mayweather does that to all the guys he potshotted. Because atleast they are actually winning the offensive part eventhough not as much as they are doing defensively. Im not gonna give any credit to that mosley movement because anyone who has thag gameplan(the surving fk gameplan) would have done it. IMO, marquez movement in pac-jmm 3 is a better example. Or bradley-pac 1 rounds 10-12. Or brad-pac 2 round 11. Or even some parts at pac-cotto.

        This struggling with movement argument is a moot point. All boxers wont look as good with a guy that is constantly moving, opposed to a guy who stands in front of you or comes forward.

        Its the same type of argument when someone says "Tom Brady or Peyton Manning do worse when their pressured in the pocket." well no ****, that every qb.

          Bad, bad stylistic match-up. One that favors Algieri much more than it does Pacquaio.

            Algeri will soon enter survival mode aswell.

            Even if he doesn't he still has no shot with Manny.

            Doesn't have anywhere near the skill or ability to beat Pacquaio.

            Yeah he moves and is a counter puncher but you need more than that to beat Pacquaio.

              i seriously think algeri could beat pac. he is very tall and has a longer reach. he uses the jab and moves around well around the ring + he throws a good amount of punches and he survived the ruslan onslaught so i doubt pac power would trouble him.

              can see him winning but will he get the decision? i dont know

                  Manny is a dynamic fighter. If he still has some of that left in him he will win with his tanglebles talents

                    some happen to struggle with constant movers more so than others. manny being someone who is average at most when it comes to cutting off a ring

                      I don't know. Tony was a much better fighter but totally a different style from Chris.

                      I think Chris will have some success, but Manny wins.
