These people on the internet want us to listen to them over the people actually in the ring and in the biz? People who've seen more hype jobs and fighters come and go than any of us could dream of. C'mon man.....
DeGuardia said Algieri had never faced a fighter like Spence, someone who is on the way up and entering his prime. Algieri had fought superstars like Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan and he won a junior welterweight title against slugger Ruslan Provodnikov, but all of those fighters were a bit long in the tooth compared with Spence, DeGuardia said.
“It’s a different kind of fighter than let’s say (Amir) Khan, whose really been through the mill, is a veteran,” DeGuardia said. “Those speed-type reflexes aren’t going to be there. Different from Manny Pacquiao even who is coming up in weight and who doesn’t really have the same kind of speed and reflexes that he had years before. Ruslan Provodnikov — a different kind of style, a guy who plowed forward who doesn’t have that kind of speed. Errol Spence is a different fighter than Chris has ever fought. Lot of speed and a lot of agility. He’s a top, top fighter.”
