Is Chris Algieri treated unfairly by boxing fans?
Everyone who has trained alongside and sparred Algieri (including the likes of Maidana, Robert Garcia, Mikey Garcia and John Molina Jr) have spoken about how he lives, trains and breathes boxing all year. They speak about him highly and mention he has very good boxing skills and is underrated. However, just because of the fashion in which he lost to the second best fighter of this era, he is talked about as a joke. He beat Provodnikov who may be limited but you have to go through hell to beat. He also schooled Emmanuel Taylor who beat the guy "who gives Floyd his first loss" in Karim Mayfield 
and I fancy him to beat guys like Broner and can see him being a top contender.
Even when he lost to Khan, many people say it's Khan being bad rather than Chris being good. John David Jackson also said Chis has good power but never planted his feet. He KO'd 7 sparring partners in camp for Khan and now he isn't traine by a Kickboxer, he is finally out of his cage. War Algieri!
Here he is sparring Maidana:
