One thing I think people misunderstand about PEDs are they don't help your hand-eye co-ordination, and timing, which gets you KOs just as much as power. But what they do accomplish is they allow to train harder, recuperate WAY faster, and keep your muscle mass while dropping weight. It's hard for boxers to keep on muscle while doing so much cardio training, and dropping pounds, sometimes 20-30 lbs. in 8-10 weeks. That's why guys who stay closer to they're fighting weights are more effective. Anyway, just because a guy is on PEDs, doesn't guarantee KOs.

Algieri is the goods. Great jab, great ring IQ, solid chin, mentally tough, long reach, well conditioned, massive height advantage, respectable speed.. Algieri is going to give Pac and his fans major fits come November 22.

This is all hype. Algeri is not a talker, but Arum (and HBO) needs him to be a talker. Manny is not gonna be "bad cop," so Algeri has to be the one to hype the fight. Unfortunately, nice guys don't sell. The college graduate vs. the Filipino version of MLK, doesn't sell fights. Someone has to be that guy. This is the formula started by a former professional wrestler, perfected by Muhammad Ali, and is responsible for the change from Pretty Boy Floyd to "Money" Mayweather. It's like negative political ads, everyone says they hate them, but statistics show, "they work." The guy even said "if and when..." he didn't go in on Manny. Freddie knows that, but his job is to strir the pot.

I don't think Algieri is playing "bad cop". He's just confident that he's going to win the fight. He really hasn't said anything negative about Pac and his team at all.

Smh.........

Manny is going to kick his ass like he does everyone else. People who talk a lot are insecure and worried. Those that are humble and quiet are the one's you should worry about. CA is a limited boxer with heart. That doesn't mean he's going to win the fight. Manny is an ATV who isn't finished just yet. And all of you idiots who say he can't punch anymore. Based on what? Idiots. Manny fights guys who can take a great shot. What's Floyd excuse? I don't hear anyone talking about his pillow fists against lesser opponents. Leave Manny alone and enjoy this destruction he's going to give CA.

Sometimes I wonder who is advising guys on dropping so low, instead of moving up a weight class? I haven't boxed since the PAL days in my early teens, so I never been on a high level. However I can't understand why a 175 lb. man, would want to fight at 147? Everyone says Canelo was weight-drained, but from what I hear, Maidana was close to 180 before the rematch, yet no one calls him weight drained because he fights at 147. Maidana is just as weight-drained as Chavez Jr was in the Martinez fights, but they do it so often that no one brings it up. I think dropping that much is a bad strategy, I think Maidaina might be better suited for 154. What's your thoughts?

The only way Alegra can beat Pac in China is with a bat and a riot shield in the ring with him.

I agree, but Freddie's response makes it look like Algeri talks a lot, which then puts Algeri in a bad light, then Manny will have to respond, and the soap opera begins.
