Pacquiao Cherry Picking Exposed Chris Algieri (EGO RANT),

[radioraheem]

you're going to miss out on very good boxing then. pac, algieri, lomachenko, shiming. this is very good. only a hater and doubter will say this is bad.

You can't blame a lot of people for skipping out on it. Algieri hasn't done enough, he lacks the hype. If he wins though, a lot more people will check for the fight in the rematch I think.

lol@pacf@gs scrambling to make this fight out as if it's a legit match-up. this is the second biggest cherry pick of the year(garcia took the honor of having the biggest cherrypick of 2014) when he fough salka). no way can a pacf@g justify this fight with all the killers in the ww division.

Not twisting anything. You also said that you were talking about "style-wise." When I asked you who had beaten Pacquiao that fought anything like this guy, you responded with "when's the last time he fought anyone like that?"

Pacquiao hasn't beat anyone like Chris before. This is why I asked how you can come to the conclusion this is a mismatch.

Pacquiao is at his best when? When guys are coming forward, guys who stand in front of him. When guys box, he's had trouble. When guys move, he has trouble. So I imagine a pure boxer is going to be a difficult style for Pac to deal with.

But I realize we are at a stalemate here, we both view this fight differently and I don't think that will change. We'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

Glad we managed to have a decent discussion without name calling though

I agree he shouldn't get the fight and agree with you on why 100%. The fight is at 144 though so he's not making him go to 147. Not sure if that even has any bearing on the fight anyhow because Manny weighs that anyway usually give or take a pound..

It's a catchweight because of Freddie Roach. Roach knows that Algieri is naturally the bigger guy, who really weighs in the 160s. Being that Algieri has all these physical advantages, Roach is trying to level the playing field with the catchweight.

I already explained to you how it's a mismatch on paper.

When guys box, he's had trouble? No, it took a little more than that. Just moving doesn't give Manny Pacquiao trouble. You need to be able to counter and also make him respect you.

Edit *** We're getting old NATAS, I know you know your **** and vice versa. Good to see us debating without the gloves coming off ***

LOL see above

That's the same as saying Guerrero and Ortiz didn't earn the Mayweather fights IMO...they all came off big wins against maybe guys who were propped up to be better then they actually were (Berto, Provo..)
It is what it is..until the 2 big dogs fight, nobody will ever be a good enough opponent for either IMO.

the difference is that both ortiz and guerrero beat actual WW's!!!!! they put themselves in the position to rightfully get the floyd fight(gbp fighters, wbc titlist, etc.) algieri is only a few fights removed from espn.

So is it a mismatch or does Chris have "all the physical advantages"? Can't have it both ways my man.

he will gain a lot of fans on november. win or lose he will gain a lot of respect. people need to stop hating him and calling him a bum.
