Comments Thread For: Algieri Open to Berto; Wants Pacquiao, Khan Rematches

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Chris Algieri was coming off two losses. But even though those defeats came against a pair of very recognizable names in Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan, he nevertheless needed a win over Erick Bone on Dec. 5 in order to remain in the running for fights with other recognizable names in the welterweight division.

Algieri got the win, fighting in the trenches for a 10-round unanimous decision over his tough opponent and moving to 21-2 with 8 KOs. One name mentioned afterward by promoter Lou DiBella (who promoted the card while working with boxing adviser Al Haymon) was Andre Berto — DiBella thought “it would be a hell of a fight.”

@ Pacquaio rematch.

He definitely deserves a Khan return.

There's levels to boxing.

Genuinely think Chris is one of the few who guys who legitimately would get in there with anyone, he's got that proper passion for fighting and competition.

Shouldn't be anywhere near Pacquiao though. Khan rematch I can understand, but I'd rather see him against the rest of Haymon's Welterweight stable. I think he'd give Garcia real problems, probably beats Broner, and would be a competitive B-side for a Thurman or Porter.

Make Algieri-Berto happen. That's a good fight for Chris.

Unfinished business with Pac ..."I was supposed to get knocked down 15 times. So there's 8 left..."

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

i would like to see what berto can do with algeri,

but forget about a pacquaio fight, getting dropped 6 times is not getting you a rematch no matter what you accomplish in your career after.

[Dean_Razorback]

a rematch with pacquiao? gtfoh

[mike1010011]

Guess he liked getting knocked down 6 times,and losing 119-103,119-103,and 120-102....

This isn't a bad fight at all. These two would put on a great show. I pick Dre by late round stoppage.
