Would Chris Algieri beat Floyd Mayweather's Last 5 Opponents at 147, except Pacquaio?

[Showtime..]

Out boxes Ortiz to an 8-4.
Out boxes Guerrero to a 9-3.
50-50 with Mosley, JMM, & Maidana.
Loses to Pacquiao obviously.

"Styles make fights" is about evenly experienced fighters with different styles competing against each other, it isn't just the style without experience.

Algieiri has a style, but lacks amateur and pro experience. In 2010, would a 10-0 Algieiri beat SHane? In 2011, would a 12-0 Algieiri be a threat to Ortiz?

It's not about being evenly matched in terms of experience.. That can certainly play a part in some cases but look at all the upsets that have happened in boxing.. Tyson vs Douglas, Ali vs Spinks (who only had 7 fights when he beat Ali), the list is endless..Sometimes factors such as height, reach, leverage, angle of punches, and all the other components which make up a "style" can have a major impact, either collectively or individually.

So Algieri beats all those guys, does that mean Floyd's list of former opponents is now starting to crumble apart around him in terms of credibility?

Some of yall slating Algieri but he goes and beats most (or all) of Floyd's opponents at 147.. WTF does that say about Floyd then? lmao

This is only reason you created this thread. To criticize Floyd.

Chris Algeri barely beat Provodnokov. I seriously doubt Algeri beats Guererro much less "very easily".

Just stop beating around the bush with agenda based-bait threads. Just come out and say I HATE FLOYD.

It's really that simple.

Man Khan looked like trash against a C-level uncoordinated feather fisted unranked boxer. Lets just call a spade a spade. Algeri is not ranked at 140 or 147 and just is not that good period.

Floyd nearly (arguably did) get beat by Maidana in the first fight. That's a guy who Khan beat when Maidana was in his prime, not the faded battle-worn version that Floyd fought. So did Floyd have an off-night when at times he was getting out boxed by a crude slugger or is Floyd just not that good? Call a spade a spade?

He might edge out Vic the tree, I think he could give Marquez a tough fight based on styles, the rest maul the hell out of him.

[MarsinLeo]

The version of Marquez that Floyd fought had just jumped up 2 weight divisions from 135 to face the best fighter in the world at 147, without having any tune ups at the weight. Going into the fight like that was basically suicide. He was far removed from the version that Manny Pacquiao later got knocked out by after he had acclimatized to the weight division.

Floyd is not a big Welterweight himself. Plus he's not a knockout puncher. So exactly where did Floyd's "weight advantage" come in at?

Whoever wins Mayweather vs Khan is all good with me - I support both fighters. You think I hate Floyd , sure I criticize fighters even if I'm a fan but doesn't mean I "hate" Floyd - the man is a genius in the ring and I watched all his fights since the 2005 Gatti fight (and I was rooting for him to win in all of them apart from the Mosley fight). He did duck Khan at least 2 times though but **** happens.

That post you quoted was to put things into context that people were severely underrating Algieri when you consider he does have the ability to beat a lot of Floyd's former opponents. So the point was that if you say Algieri is garbage, then you have to say Floyd's former opponents are garbage too and it's funny how all of a sudden people aren't so willing to do that now... lol

A John David Jackson Uncaged Algieri beats all of these guys.

Floyd was an established Welterweight while Marquez had no experience at 147 whatsoever at the time, and he jumped up 2 weight divisions (from the Juan Diaz fight) to face Floyd. For any fighter to jump up 2 weight divisions and get in with one of the best fighters in that division, it's crazy without having a tune up fight first. For someone to do that and get in with Floyd Mayweather Jr - it's suicide, you might as well put a gun to your head.

Marquez conditioning was garbage at the time too, if you remember he was doing that urine therapy (drinking his own urine) which is something he stopped doing soon after the Floyd fight. He improved his conditioning considerably after Floyd beat him.

He would beat small slow Guerrero, washed up Mosely, and have a 75% chance against Ortiz who in hindsight was pretty mediocre but thrust into the spotlight for his boyish smile (kinda like Algieri himself... Yes...)

He would have a 25% chance against Maidana. He could beat him if he tired Maidana out early, survived it then outboxed him (the way Floyd beat Maidana, the way Algieri beat Provodnikov).

His style just sucks vs even old washed up versions of Marquez and Pacquaio.
