Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[HanzGruber]

Is there a face off for this

[SplitSecond]

Yea, I think the Bradley I and Marquez fights were 147 and close to... but these last two he's been lighter

the only times he's been at 147 he got an L in the record books

i think him and roach realise the omen and since then have come in at 145-144

[sugarsmosley]

Oh yeah... no face off huh?

[jas]

Face off would be boring

There's no animosity or storyline behind this fight

Chris Algieri sparring in 2012...He's in the White Gloves and White headgear

If Pac wasn't an unpredictable Southpaw, I think Algieri would time him and outbox him....But since Pac is a Southpaw with very odd angles I'm not so sure....

[The Problem Child]

Pretty cool piece on Algieri.

This is the fight that determines if Pacquiao will get his shot with Mayweather. This is Pac's last fight with Top Rank and makes him a free agent of sorts for any fight out there.

If Algeiri loses, is he still the WBO 140 champion?

[Showtime..]

Why isn't this fight @ 140.. That annoys me..
I would had liked to see Pacquiao unify 140 completely. I guess just beating DG for the Lineal like he did Hatton would be just as awesome.

Yes, which is why its at 144... bobs got a thing for this guy is probably going to sign him. so its important for him to keep his 140 strap because he aint beating pacquiao.. trust me. people are worried about a robbery. pac signed a 2 year extension and is a known commodity. arum isnt going to risk another bombed attempt at building a new star (bradley)
