    Berto has more experience and has accomplished more than Algieri has, but without a doubt Berto is in a worse spot in his career now than Algieri was going into Pac fight. Berto hasn't looked good in a long time, and would very likely lose to Algieri if they fought now.

      Algeri is far better than most people give him credit for. Most people had Algeri getting destroyed by Khan but gave Khan hell and Khan isn't a pushover.

        I haven't seen any evidence to suggest he has.

          I would disagree. Going into the Pac fight, Algieiri was an untested bum that had never fought at WW and who got the fight because he beat Provo in a close fight-Provo is one of the over rated power/brawlers NSB constantly over rates because he fights tough in losses.

          He would likely KO ALgieiri. Algieiri doing well against Khan was because Khan is another NSB guy that is getting overrated. In his case he is getting the Manny, Margs, PWill etc. "didn't fight Floyd" bump.

          Khna has talent and some good wins but also has shown a weak chin and an inability to look good when it really matters.

          Like I said earlier hating Floyd is fine, but when you elevate a 20-2 over 30yr old ex kickboxer with no amateur experience, who won a JWW title over Provo over Berto, a 2 time WW champ who has wins at WW even at his diminished capacity, then it gets a little too much.

          And yes, I think Floyd is lying and this isn't going to be his last fight.

            Berto has done more sure, but he's washed up and was never thaat big to begin with. He was 2 time WW champ by beating names that don't exactly signify excellence, and he's lost to a handful of not that great fighters in recent years. Add in the fact that he's been fighting once a year lately in addition to his unimpressive performances in wins against low level competition. This isn't even about Algieri being good so much as it is about Andre Berto being incredibly underwhelming as of late - I wouldn't exactly be stunned if he lost to Bundu, Jo Jo Dan or Frankie Gavin right now. Prime Berto beats Algieri probably, but he's just not that Berto anymore.

                i dunno if he IMPROVED from Ruslan -> Pac -> Khan
                it was more of a change in style... hard to say if he actually improved..

                but as far as i can tell, his punching power is still ****, since he landed overhand rights flush on khan's domino chin but didnt drop him lol.
                without power, using that kinda style, i cant imagine him going very far lol.

                it was definitely a lot more exciting to watch though, and who knows if hes sticking with the style, or if that was just the plan against khan.

                  Isn't that the same with you Floydtards who give Cotto all the props but prior to Manny absolutely mauling him into quitting NOW you love Cotto?
                  Cotto needs to beat Canelo to fit your argument, completely ignoring the fact Cotto was owned by Austin Trout the same guy Canelo knocked down and beat with somewhat comfort.

                  Its like how you ignore the fact that Amir Khan fought the ruthless and dangerous version of Marcos Maidana and that Mayweather got the left overs, he is still the same fighter that's what Garcia said he's just older and more fatter now but Floyd fought de prime version innit?

                    Hold on...did you just compare Algeri to ****ing Cotto?
