Am I the only person who thinks Algieri would school Mayweather?

Algieri would put up a better fight than any other Floyd opponent. Floyd is not an aggressor, when he walks down guys he does it slowly, he hasn;t had to cut off the ring against a speedster of foot. Zab had concrete feet and fast hands.
Algieri and Khan both can stick and move with long arms.
Floyd doesnt fight guys who have a reach advantage over him, Diego Corrales had T rex arms and was flat footed.
I would love to see Floyd fight someone like Algieri for a change, he always fights flat foot tailormade fighters, I would like to see Floyd fight Algieri or Khan next.
or someone who can move and has speed and stamina and is hard to time.

Dude Hectari... there's more to boxing than a looooong jab.
Amir Khan had success with Garcia with it but once the distance closed Khan was forced to exchange. Algieri can't keep Floyd/Manny at the end of the stick all round long... impossible. It's all relevant when your opponent has faster feet than you. I.E. Cotto/Pac.... Cotto utilized the jab early on but once Manny set the tempo and counterd off the jab, it was a done deal.
Provodnikov and a "I got to prove something by trying to exchange" Bradley.... is not the same as Floyd/Manny.
Those fools move.

If Algieri was that good he would have been well known before age 30. He got lucky winning a fight he didn't deserve to win by mostly running. He will hit and run with Pacquiao but Pacquiao will easily win every round and KO him within a few rounds. Algieri is brave with some talent but when you say he will toy with Mayweather you have him way overrated.

Cotto didn't appear to really move and jab until after he had been taken quite a bit of punishment from Manny. Might be wrong, though, I'll have to go back and look.
