Comments Thread For: Roach Warns Algieri: Talk All You Want, It Won't Help!

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?

Heard somewhere that they drop the weight early in their careers cuz it would make them "bigger" than the journeymen that are in that current division. Could be that he can be better for 154. Thurman has fought there before, also. Word, you are a fellow PAL'er? Cool. Shotokan Karate PAL newark, nj.

Hes an espn level fighter but promote away. Ill still watch

Many people called Mauricio Herrera an "espn level" fighter before he got robbed in his fight against Danny Garcia. So what does that make Garcia?

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.

Algieri should call Manny short or something to ****e things up.

Yep, Webster Ave., but more basketball than boxing. I like to eat too much for boxing, and I thought fighters had to abstain from sex too...No bueno!

I dont think he fights better than Bradley.He would have possibly 4 or 5 loses if he attempted to duplicate Bradley's resume.

Thank you! People really exaggerate this kid. I can't wait to see their post after Pac KO's him. If he doesn't win by KO it's because Chris got on his bicycle and survived the fight. Either way Chris is not ready for the monster that is Pacquioa.

So do you think an inexperienced boxer with a kickboxing background can beat a master boxer like Pacquiao? I know anything can happen, but do you give him more than a 30% chance? My little experience with Karate (Tiger Kim, Fordham Rd. in the BX) folks, was that the boxing background helped in Karate, but the Karate folks didn't have an advantage in the boxing ring. I don't know why, but it's just my experience.

I don't know, if Algieri talks enough about standing in front of Pac and brawling than come fight night, Pac will blindly follow him around the ring wondering why he's not.

Algeri should say noting but nice things about Manny. #1 He's lucky to be getting this fight for $1.5 million, and #2 It's hard to train for a guy you like.

The only way I see algieri winning if he does a "Lara". But to his credit, he did that against provo, but threw more power punches and some combinations than lara in lara vs canelo. If that happens, big question is can algieri'a chin take punches from a short guy like pacquiao in an upward angle, like an uppercut for exp, who already has experience fighting taller guys, albeit they where more of plodders than movers.

Not really the best way to sell a fight...
