The Daily Bread mailbag returns as Stephen Edwards discusses Chris Algieri, Floyd Mayweather vs. Gennady Golovkin, Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao, catch-weights, Andre Dirrell vs. James DeGale and more.
What's up Bread? Hope all is blessed with you and yours. I gotta say, your mailbags were always great because you were able to see the small things that the rest of us overlooked. But it's only gotten better because you pick up on small, subtle things that happen outside the ring and in camp. So my question is, do you think Algieri's win over Provodnikov was his moment in the sun? Do you think he could have topped that with the proper matchmaking?
Because, to me it seems like DeGuardia and his handlers have cashed out on him and have thrown him to the wolves. By wolves, I mean Pacquiao and now Khan. Provodnikov was about as stiff a test as you could have faced when up and coming, but to me Algieri was still rising; not just in notoriety but in skill level as well. Really, his legs are his greatest asset but there was a lot more there that just needed to be developed. This guy had the tools to be another Lara, he's just undeveloped. But, they put him in with Pacquiao after a tough decision over RP. He wasn't going to win that fight.
