No announcement yet.
Do you think Chris Algieri can become a champion again? How does he stack up at 140?

Algieri has potential for good fights at 140, I believe he is still WBO champ there.
He could defend against Provodnikov (again), Broner, Omar Figueroa, Cesar Cuenca.
Then have his "Battle for NY" against Amir YOUNG MASTER Imam in the future.

Lucas Matthysse by devastating KO
Broner by SD
Terence Crawford UD
Postol TKO
So who do we have left?
The boy has no power or real ability to maintain his relevance in the division.

Yes he could. He was a champion going into the Pacquiao fight and since his140 title was not on the line he should still be a 140 world champion right now. He is not good enough to be the best fighter in the world at any weight. There are 4 different world titles recognized these days. WBC WBA WBO and IBF. Usually at least one of these belt holders is not very good giving guys like Algieri who is good but not special, a chance to win a world title. I thought he didn't deserve the win over Ruslan but it was too close of fight to call Algieri's win a real robbery.

8 knockdowns in his last two fights...will be coming back down in weight after missing the CW for the Pac fight. I don't think he stacks up all that well - he might get one defense of that belt and then Ruslan rematch should happen - and I think he loses. If it's not Ruslan but someone else like Postol, Crawford, Vargas I think he loses too
edit: the issue for him I think will be his offense, he is not going to get the benefit of the doubt for just doing better than expected. if not, when his fights go to decision the cards will be razor thin and that's now how it should be with someone who can move like thatLast edited by LA_2_Vegas; 12-05-2014, 09:40 PM.

I think he can do well. With that being said, do you feel like he can become world champion again? How does he match up against Garcia, Lucas, Broner, etc.?
