Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Sparring Partners Better Than Algieri

[Slick Veteran]

PAC seems to be the only fighter who has some top level sparring. I wonder who Chris is using to emulate manny style? Robert Garcia said PAC is harder to prepare for than Floyd, because you can't find a sparring partner who can mimic PAC style.

This is a sad ass post and it's only the second comment in the thread. The title says it all, yet this guy brought up Mayweather's style and how it's easy to imitate according to a trainer that have nothing to do with this fight. So he brings up Mayweather and Garcia, who are not even relevant to this fight and he did so to try to give Pacquiao props as well as save face for the blatant duck of Abregu and Cherry pick of a 140 pounder with no power and low punch resistance.

Anyway question to you, Hectari. If Floyd is easier to imitate, then why hasn't he lost or been KTFO6 yet? Why aren't there more figher's undefeated at the elite level? Why is everyone picking him to beat Pacquiao? You know the answer so stop lying to yourself and face reality.

I'm a hardcore Pacquiao fan, but if we're going to tell the truth, Algieri is a worse pick than Rod Salka lol

At least Rod Salka had an amatuer background.

Algieri literally has only fought as a boxer 20 times in his life lol

How the **** do you get a fight with Pacquiao and a title shot with 20 fights? It's ****ing ridiculous lol. It's so ridiculous it's funny.

worse pick than rod salka???? are you kidding? rod salka was the #77 ranked lightweight, not undefeated, not a world champion, etc. algieri is ranked the #3 best jr welterweight, undefeated, world champion, much bigger than pacquiao, and is coming off a big win against provodnikov.

hahahahaha it doesn't take a genius to see that algieri is no where near a salka type opponent.

Dude... Algieri has 20 fights. In his entire life. He has ZERO Amatuer experience. ZERO Amatuer fights.

20 ****ing fights. Do you realize what that means? There are people on this forum who have more experience than Algieri.

Against arguably the best fighter in the world. How the **** can you possibly be ready to fight Pacquiao after 20 fights? This is the biggest mismatch in recent history.

Edit: Also I thought Provodnikov beat Algieri.

Totally want to buy this now
Hahaha

Roach just speaking the truth, just like when Roach said Mosley was too good and wasn't ready for the picking until Floyd beat him, and when they took the fight with Oscar cause Oscar could no longer pull the trigger and make the weight healthy, and also that it was their fault that they ducked the fight with Floyd when it was on the table because of testing.

Has a Pacman fan im so disappointed by this fight. Algieri doesnt deserve to be in the ring with Pac. First fight in a long time I won't buy on PPV from pac. PPV numbers will fail than it will be another reason the May fight wont happen. WTF were they thinking. I know some dumbass didnt get the Rios fight but has intelligent boxing fans we understood that Pac was coming off a huge KO loss. But this fight is straight BS. No excuse for that one.

[ReIoaded]

Wow.

Pacquiao might be the only boxer around today who suffers one of the most brutal KO's in history and still gets criticized for having a "stay busy" fight.

Meanwhile, Mayweather's trainer is encouraging his fighter to take on an easy opponent too.
