Comments Thread For: Arum: Algieri Could Become Huge - If He Beats Pacquiao

[Canelo Phresh]

Met Algieri today at his open workout at the Palazzo. Hes in great shape. Worked the pads for 12 rounds, then speed bag for 5 rounds, then speed rope for 5 rounds. Nice guy real approachable.

Did Arum actually pick Algeiri for the Provo upset? I could of swore he was already talking Provo-Pacquiao before that fight even started.

He did

So he's been planning on making this crap PPV for a while

Beats Manny then Floyd ducks him. Becomes UFC champ. This boy will be the poster boy on every missile headed for ISIS.

That's a big "IF" Bob!!!Algieri will never step in the ring after he is done with Pac, ever again. He might even quote Floyd's infamous "Health comes first"

ticket sales must be poor, lol at uncle bob trying hard to hype this fight, algieri gonna get embrassed and we all know that

Lol I don't see it. He seems like a solid pure boxer, but his boxing skills certainly aren't transcendent by any means (lmao). He has seemingly very limited power so he's certainly not going to become "huge" by blasting guys away like a GGG for example. He's not an offensive machine either that will put together mesmerizing combos like an Amir Khan. So it's because he's a pretty boy?

Beating Manny would catapult him into legitimacy but I don't ever see Chris Algieri becoming "huge".

Hehasa MBA and is getting good money for the fight. If he puts ona good show the he may fight one more but if he doesn't, like think he won't, then why fight again.
