    Most boxers have their heights exaggerated by a few inches, but chris is a solid 5'10 with a 72 inch reach. Danny garcia is really around 5'7 in real life with T rex arms. The jab is going to be a problem. Also boxers with long legs tend to have better footwork and faster feet which chris has.

    his chin and eye are vulnerable. garcia will catch him. agree though, algieris height and reach are gonna cause problems but i think he will lose his next fight.

    The late Emmanuel Steward would have done Wonders for Algieri. He was snapping Provodnikov's head every time he threw his jab. Manny could have made him a very effective jabber.

    Algieri has a good chin but is featherfisted.

    Garcia is not going to fight him. Garcia is more than likely moving up. Same for Matthysse.

    I agree he's very long and tall he also has a nice jab movement and overall ability. I'm a fan.

    Everybody's eye is vulnerable when you get hit like that.

    That was a wide sloppy uppercut that he tried to throw and got caught with a hail mary punch. :lol:

    Nope. He's a short term belt holder IMO.
