algieri should honestly be fighting at jr middleweight. he is clearly too big for jr welter.

You do know that this fight isn't being held at WW though. Its at a catchweight off 144lbs. On top of that, Algieri is and will be the bigger man in the ring.

144 is ww.....and for the ww wbo title

[The Big Dunn]

algieri has the heart of a true champion rocky story.

he hasn't made one title defense yet and, more to the point, hasn't fought one time as a champion-how the **** does he have a heart of a champion?

does anyone other than cotto ever won the wbo ww title at a full 147lbs? Its always 145, 144, 143.

his debut was at jr middleweight, then he had some fights at welterweight for awhile

I hate Jr. divisions!

to me they're only half-divisions,welterweight to middleweight is 1 division .

beating provo without getting completely concussed over and over or KO'ed and instead completely outboxing him is a big achievement.

that fight alone showed how much heart and grit he has. especially since he had one eye completely closed.

win or lose algieri is a certified champ heart warrior spirit. he will surprise a lot of people.

not surprised. algieri is a BIG guy.

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.

Personally, I don't have a problem with the match-up. Its just not PPV worthy if you're not a fan of either fighter or having a strong rooting interest.
