When I say "pure boxer" I'm talking about style. Watch the way hes constantly moving his head side to side and up and down setting up angles. Constantly works the jab and knows to use range and distance. Great footwork, uses every inch of the ring.
Hes only ever really struggled with the elite level. He'll outbox anyone below that easily
What you just said sounds a lot different from being "the best pure boxer you've ever seen"... Meaning in your mind he's an all time great ? Wtf?
AB wins if he works. He gets lazy and allows less talented guys stack up points on him. I think this is due to ABs slow realization that he isn't the bomber he was before at these heavier weights,so he expects to hurt guys with one shot. Its not that AB cant move, he just doesn't do it. AB has all the natural physical gifts to be great, but i dont think he has the unnatural drive and work ethic of Pac, Floyd, SRL, and most other great fighters.
I am a Broner hater but he is a better fighter with a better record than one lucky good win wonder Algieri. Pacquaio just beat Algieri by the most one side point total I have ever seen. You need at least some power to keep Broner at bay an Algieri has very little power. Algieri might win some rounds with speed and good boxing but Broner is fast and can box and punch with real power. Broner has already defeated better fighters than Algieri and he will win more rounds and get a ud. win over Algieri in my opinion.
He can't make 135 anymore and with his weight issues I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't make 140 within his next few fights or so.
is a shame he got no dedication like big bro, i actually root for him. i like his persona, i think most of them are staged but it was pretty entertaining.
also i can see algieri overpowered broner in the clinch just like maidana, honestly i dont see Broner winning unless Pac ruined algieri, just like you said in another post.
Lol, I actually think Algieri outboxes him with ease
No way, a fighter with Algieri's attributes, good speed and most importantly, good foot work and reflexes would cause Broner fits. He'd likely outbox Broner to a 8-4 or 9-3 type UD.
