That's the most ripped Pac has been in some time, I think.

Chris doesn't make weight, he will in 2 hours though.

I'd be very surprised if Pac KO'd Algieri. Pacquiao KOs guys who come towards him, the guys who move in the opposite direction tend to survive.

The other thing is Algieri is a big for JWW/WW, not far off 6ft. He can take a punch.

Algieri isn't small for a JW / WW, but he also doesn't seem as big and sturdy as many of the guys Pac has fought (despite being 4? inches taller than Pac). My fan goggles aside, if Pac comes out awake, cutting off Algieri's movement, and not being too deferential to Algieri's (non) power this should be a very lopsided affair, IMHO. To me, in the Provodnikov fight Algieri looked as good as he did because of the amount of time it was taking Provo to get set and reset. Algieri was stopping to stick, then move, faster than Provo could get set. (He fought more how a Bradley in a better headspace should have fought Provodnikov.) I don't really think Algieri can stop to stick with Pac even with the height and reach, and while his movement is good (and may well save him from a KO) I don't really think it's competitive with Manny's or what Manny has seen. But I'm biased, so...

How the **** did that Chris make 140 in the past???


I blame Memo, he bulked Chris up too much.

[Hype job]

Pac looked the best ive seen in years..

At least Algeri was just .4lbs over, that should be relatively easy to shed off.
