Dude you're not fighting Provo or BHop.

Furthermore how do you get in "the old lion's" face and push the action when you're backpedaling??

I was thinking the same thing. To be able to get in Manny's face while running for his life at the same time will be amazing to see. Algieri must be a magician.

Ruslan was robbed. But I'm pulling for Chris because Pacquiao fans are a cancer to boxing and need to go.

This is like literally the opposite of what he has to do.

If it were Floyd facing Algieri after a Provodnikov win, the fanboys would have hyped up Algeiri like no tomorrow! Just like they did with Ortiz and Guerrero after their wins over Andre Berto.

I have to admit, the fanboys didnt try to hype Algeri. And if he going to try to push Pacman back, it better be behind that long jab or its lights out. Ask Ricky Hatton.

Even at this point of pacs career, I think he has more one punch power than Provo. Not to mention speed and footwork.

Look alt, you went out of your way to come at me and then lied about just starting here. If that were really true, you'd have found something else to discuss. there are other threads and other posters posting. you went out of your way to quote me.

If you wish to debate something, we can. If you want to just attack me to get your NSB cred up amongst the scummy manny fans and the race baiters, I'd prefer you use someone else.

SO lets talk boxing or stop sniffing my nutsack and go away! your choice!

Listen guy...you hate on pac like it's your dam job...I don't care that u don't like the guy..but your seriously so repetitive. If u don't like pac stop coming on every thread that involves him...and seriously? NSB cred? You kidding me right? That sounds ridiculous. And I'm always down to debate but never with a fanboy...now pls...don't even bother responding to this.

He's best on the backfoot and that's the only chance I give him. Do what you're best at and don't screw around trying to go after Pacquiao like he wants you to.

pacquiao will win 117-111 in a mediocre fight

Do you know what Ortiz, Guerrero, and Andre Berto all have in common, that Algeri doesn't? They were all WELTERWEIGHT title holders. That's who we expect Pacquiao (and Floyd) to fight, WW title holders. I would give Manny a pass if it were Danny Garcia, but not Algeri. However, I do understand that Manny has limited options:

November 13, 2014 (Bleacher Report):

Not including himself, six of the nine fighters on ESPN's top 10 ranking for the welterweight division are unavailable to Manny Pacquiao because of the politics surrounding the sport of boxing today.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana, Shawn Porter, Devon Alexander and Robert Guerrero are all signed with Al Haymon who Pacquiao's people—Top Rank and HBO—refuse to work with at the current time.

Two other names on the top 10 list are Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, a pair that Pacquiao has fought a combined six times. Besides Kell Brook, there isn't a single compelling matchup available to Pacquiao in the welterweight division.

Some of you might be thinking that a move back down to junior welterweight might make matchmaking a little easier, but many of the top guys in that division like Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, Lucas Matthysse and Lamont Peterson are also signed with Haymon, which makes all of those matchups dead on arrival as well.

Pacquiao is already a lock for the Hall of Fame in my view and I'm sure in the view of most others, so he doesn't have much if anything left to prove. But it is a shame that years of his career are being wasted on fighting the likes of Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri.

Pacquiao in his twighlight years should also be given a break. His fights are almost all hard fought and brutal wars. Rios and Algiere, if you might call them as such, are breaks from all of these.
