Comments Thread For: Algieri Warns Pacquiao: I Hit Harder Than People Think

Not everyone is Kovalev or Wlad but if you land flush on the jaw it doesn't really matter. anyone can KO anyone.

I don't doubt he has power, at this stage of Manny's career anyone can knock him out, his chin is probably the worst one in boxing at the high level.

Anyone who gets put to sleep the way he has doesn't have a strong chin. That is the honest truth. its just nature once someone gets knocked out that bad they no longer have the punch resistance.

I'm curious...have you ever been in the ring? Have you ever even gloved up? Are you an ex-boxer, trainer or just a misinformed fan? Not being sarcastic...just curious how your formulate your opinions because your above post is 100% inaccurate. Manny's chin is not nor has ever been suspect. It's usually the punch that the fighter does not see that KO's him and clearly Pac did NOT see the KO punch that JMM delivered. For you to reference Manny with the conviction that you deliver makes me suspect of your seriousness and intention here in this Forum. Your bizarre and inane posts read more like a Troll trying to stir the pot.

I just watched Algieri-Provo again. I don't think Algieri will win, but I don't think this is a vacation for Manny. During his fight with Provodnikov he never stopped moving after the first. He never slowed down. He kept his long left in Provodnikov's face all night. Manny might have to chase Algieri, risking taking a few to get in. Algieri is only four inches taller but has a five inch reach advantage. Pacquiao needs Algieri in ring center and should not want a track meet.

Still wouldn't change the fact that you're a nobody Algieri.

Yeah algieri doesn't have the "star power" to please the predominantly gay celebrity gossiper boxing audience, I think that's what this boils down to

Algie Is Delusional... Algie Has No Power;Hits Like Mags, Like Salka, Like Mayweather

I guess Algie has to say something before the fight. The guy should just keep quiet and train. The guy has no power, backs up jabbing, couldn't keep Provo off him. Algie, Salka, Mags, Mayweather, combined have fewer knock outs than Pacquiao has in his career I believe. Shut up Algie and be thankful you're getting a paycheck.

My point is there's different levels to this game. Algieri isn't on that level.

Says the guy who's never fought an elite prizefighter before.

That's the thing though. Pacman cannot stop Algieri from moving. He's terrible at cutting off the ring. How many times have we seen him frustrated at fighters moving away. The reach advantage is also another big factor. And Chris clearly moves exceptionally well. Provo cuts the ring off well and still managed to get outboxed in a 17 foot ring. That's below standard size. If he fights Pacman in a normal ring, Pacman is going to have a very hard time finding the bigger fighter. And Algieri has stamina and stamina, size, and a normal sized ring makes this fight a bad bad match for Pacman.

So you think this is a good fight for Pacquaio then after the fight will that be the truth or a lie?
