    Pac's victory over Chris Algieri will look better over time

    Pac haters are discrediting Pac's win over a young, hungry, undefeated talent like Algieri, because of how easily Pac dominated him. This is unfair, Algieri was coming off beating this perceived beast in Provodnikov, showing lots of resilience, heart and skills in that fight. Algieri got steamrolled by Pac because Pac's a speed beast who didn't respect his power, but i reckon he'd outbox a bunch of top fighters out there. Slow and /or flatfooted fighters like Broner or Danny Garcia would have their hands full with Algieri. Algieri would ¨herrera¨ Garcia again. I expect Chris to become champ again one day

    Algieiri was a 14-1 underdog. He had 20 pro fights and no amateur experience when he fought Manny. He was moving up from 140 to fight for the ww title at 144. He was a bum when he fought Manny and will be one for the rest of his career.

      Yet if it was Floyd who fought Algieri, he would of been crucified on these forums and by the general public.

        Algieri schooled Provo

        who in turn almost killed a legit P4Per in Bradley

        Algieri has an extensive kickboxing background, that counts for something seeing how Vitali (probably the HW H2H GOAT ) was also a kickboxing champ

        Algieri will go on to do big things

          I don't think so somehow, Algeri was never much of contest, people just hyped the fight up in good faith of boxing. . . Wishful thinking.

            Floyd's win over Guerrero > Pac's win over Algieri

              Floyd deserved to be crucified for fighting anyone not named Pacquiao as long as Pac was available and willing.

              now that he finally grew a pair, Floyd's future choices for opponents will be much less scrutinized / criticized

                  Chris beat Broner's last opponent with ease and Broner had some tough moments with him.

                    You mean that since Manny has overcome his phobia of needles and Arum has given up on his stadium plans the fight finally got made?

                    Makes sense.

                    Everyone knows the reason the fight finally got made is because Arum has milked Pacquiao as much as he could and has finally cashed out him for one last huge payday.
