Pacquiao-Algieri Prefight & Postfight discussion & analysis thread

[IMDAZED]

talk about very high risk with very low reward. algieri would not have much trouble defeating guerrero or maidana. the only reason you guys arent viewing this as a legitimate fight is because algieri hasnt had the exposure of those guys. ill put down some money on al because hes going to be like +1000

edit: damn, looks like sugar adam got it covered

And because he hasn't fought anyone other than one 140lb contender. He's gonna get laid out by Pacquiao.

Haters kill me I swear. This fight is garbage. Quit comparing Floyd's fight Chino EARNED the 1st fight and the 2nd people always try to lowball the guys Floyd fight but the are the top ranked champions not guys outside the top 10 like manny has done Several times!!!! Facts not hate!

well what is dumb about what I said? stop replying like a child with insults.

you offer nothing beneficial to the discussion just name calling.

How is it an abomination please explain. I already said its not PPv worthy but its def a live match, you can't intelligently claim this is not a hard fight for Pac stylistically.

It isnt a hard fight.

Because style does not equal talent.

You are purposely confusing the two because you are trying to defend this crap.

You think if I fought using the syle Algieri does Id have a shot against Manny too???

Yes. All you have to do is move.

This must be prank they can't be serious.

Chris has fought basically no one other than ruslan !!!!
he hasnt fought at 147 and the last fight where he beat an underfeated fighter the guy was 1-0 ......
this not even worthy of a main event on espn
there are worthy guys @ 147 that could make it worthy of ppv but this is just another sham by top wank

Now you just lost your entire right to speak, that comment right there is just you hating hard. So its not even worthy of ESPN main event, please get lost dude I think I heard it all. Stop already.

All the other worthy guys Haymon has them, Floyd doesn't want to fight them, that is worse, at least we know if Thruman and Porter were with Arum they would be put with Pac, Floyd could fight thurman or porter easy since there is no problem since they are all under goldenboy haymon and in house.

Pac has slim pickings right now due to the Haymon issue.

This is the problem with the business side of boxing, Chris just upset Ruslan and if Pac decided to fight Ruslan instead you guys would just say Pac is fighting a guy off a loss again, just give Pac props for fighting a live dog, who has the style to give him trouble, while Floyd is fighting a tailormade guy with a punchers chance in a rematch and not even letting him wear his punchers gloves.

I never seen Floyd fight a mover or slick boxer with lots of stamina and workrate, i wish he would fight someone like Algieri or Bradley instead of all these flat foot guys.

I don't see how this benefits anyone other than Algieri.

For Pac, it's really a lose/lose. If he looks good, well it was against a relative unknown. If he barely squeaks by, he's finished. If he loses, he's finished.

I can't see this doing anything for PPV numbers either. Since Morales I, I've only missed one fight (Diaz) but I won't be buying this one. Not unless Algieri gets on the news for getting into a bar fight and beating up 20 guys or killing a bear with an uppercut.

Rios said Algieri used to spar Maidana and would box circles around him, Rios also said Algieri was hard to spar because he was such an elusive boxer.

[AllBoxingAD]

Yes. All you have to do is move.

Apparently.

Whats interesting is JMM and Bradley, the two guys who have been effective against Pac, dont fight alike and also fight nothing like Algieri.

But somehow its become a known fact that his style is a nightmare for Pac.

Dude couldnt get out of the way of slow as molasses Provo. But Pac gonna have a hard time finding him?

Crap fight! Boxing sucks!
