Algieri: "Pacquiao hits harder than Spence!!!!"

[boliodogs]

Manny hits harder than a hell of a lot of guys. He picked Spence to beat Manny so maybe you weren't listening to that or didn't want to hear it. Funny thing is Spence knocked Algieri out while Manny only knocked him down 7 times but could not or did not finish him off.

Not hard to believe. Speed accounts for a lot.

Manny is 40 years old. He is not beating Spence.

Prime Manny beats Spence. At this point I feel like Spence destroys him though. I dont want to see that fight at all. Thurman vs Spence and then Crawford.

Maybe prime Pacquiao beats Spence and maybe he doesn't. Fights don't have a winner until they actually happen and the rest is just guesswork and opinions. My opinion is nobody beats Spence in a real fight for many years to come and that includes Thurman and Crawford.

It's funny, Algieri looked pretty shocked each time Spence knocked him down. Even more shocked when the ref waived it off.

He is probably right that Pacquiao hits harder but he definitely got stopped by one of them.

algieri was aggressive against spence! algieri ran against pac!

funny thing is algieri fought a completely different fight vs pac/spence. against spence he was aggressive. against manny, he was just trying to survive.

I mean that doesn't make him a harder puncher.

It simply means he has a different kind of power, the fast kind. Spence is the thudding kind. Personally from the eye test, I'd say Spence hits harder but since u see it coming it doesn't necessarily put you down. Punches you don't see are what end up "hurting" more not because they are more powerful, but because you don't expect it so the human brain goes into shock.

algieri was aggressive against spence! algieri ran against pac!

But he did knock him down like 22 times. Why didn't he trap him along the ropes like Spence did? Oh, I forgot he doesn't know how to cut the ring off.

LOL will see.

So basically Pacquio has power but his technique is sloppy. You forgot to add that to your headline. His defense and punches are too sloppy to beat Spence.

Tbh I feel Manny defense is often underrated. Of course he's no defensive genius but be blocks and make his opponent miss alot. But I agree with Algieri.on Pac technique. Its far from textbook. He used his in and out movement in his prime to make opponent miss but now he got slower feet.

I love Manny but I'd put my money on Spence and maybe even by KO. Manny will never fight like Garcia just to survive. He'll fight to win and he will get caught by something big.

Thats what I think might happen if they fight.

heres what needs to happen first:

pac vs thurman to take both WBA belts
Spence vs porter for the WBC

pac vs spence for unification
