I think some higher up suits WANT Algeri to win. Think "great white hope"

As an oldguy I ask: would this context be appropriate for me to use the expression "based"?

As in "based" Freddie?

Btw, is that pronounced "bayst" or "bays-ed"?

That would be Cool! I liked Kelley Pavlik , boxing's full of hopefuls anyway.

Yawwwwwn! Can someone wake me when the Pacquiao hype train finally leaves the station? This is 2014... not 2004. Pac & Roach are yesterdays news and mainland mainstream fans are over it already. We all know who the only people who support Pac are and they are not mainstream fans, only watch 1-2 fights per year on PPV. There is a reason Pac no longer fights in the US and this is because there is 0 demand.

You don't like the article subject then GTF outta heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
HA!

Pac is legend. And he still kicks azziz. I have no problem watching his fights. Always entertaining... unlike most Floydie snooze fests.

And BTW, I'm still amazed how many Roach haters come onto ANY Roach interview and grind on the guy like he's an attention hound. I guess they don't know the scribes ALWAYS come after Freddie for a comment. It gives 'em brownie points with their editor. Understand?

Roach has a plan to get in that ring at some point and bare-fist punch Chris right in the dome just so he can talk smack to the guy afterwards... "this ain't ruslan, if I see a guys hurt and manny can't finish him, I go in and finish the job myself!!!" -Coach Roach

What!?!

You forgot Klitshcko? how about Kovalev, and GGG, and Lomachenko, Marco Huck, Provodnikov?

There's no need to invent a "white hope."

Algieri a White American boxing champion?

All America would be on the Algieri bandwagon off a Paq upset. An Italian White college educated good looking stay at home NYC Champ would own the country.
Algieri will become America's darling and biggest star with a win over the evil Manny Paq. Wlad-GGG-Kovalev-Lomo all Russian imagine Algieri as America's own champion?
