Seems to be a few people on the board that give algieri a chance to win. Anyone want to take me up on the offer? My choice is pacquiao.
To make things interesting let's make it a mass ban bet so this forum would cool down for a while: Pac: 1. southpaw123 2. theDUD3 3. Chris: 1. 2. 3.
I feel like despite all the talk of Chris being a threat to PAC and this being a competitive fight, no one will take the bet.
Pac: 1. southpaw123 2. theDUD3 3. Chris: 1.lepinthehood 2. 3. Thank you for making this more interesting. Anymore takers?
You're really sticking your neck out aren't you? Pac is the heavy favorite. Everyone knows why Arum picked Chris. Not because of his boxing skill. He's a good looking caucasian who might attract some fans in Macau. They don't care about Pacroid over there.
This is a dumb bet..... All this does is gives the *******s cover so they are excused to not come on board and face the music!!! Algeiri will win this contest and you can put my name in the hat!!!
No I'm not at all and I'll be the first to admit the mismatch that this SHOULD turn out to be. I honestly want to know who actually thinks Chris will win. That's the point of this.
Pac: 1. southpaw123 2. theDUD3 3. Chris: 1.lepinthehood 2.capitan 3. Thank you too. I'm farrrr from a ******* and am very critical of this opponent.
Manny Much better fighters than Algieri had trouble with Pac’s speed. Algieri is likely going to be annihilated. He has that huge height advantage, but he hasn’t fought anyone with Pac’s speed, much less Pac’s other attributes, such as explosiveness and footwork and combination punching. Maybe Algieri has the talent to compete, but he hasn’t done anything to prove it yet, so we’ll have to see what he’s got. I think the standing tall thing might actually be Algieri’s undoing, as the tendency against shorter fighters is to evade backwards, which could cause him to leave his chin up and get KOed.
Aligieri is in a up hill battle. Hes going to have the judges against him and the crowd. He could outbox pac all 12 rounds and still lose. I do think pacquiao isn't taking Aligieri serious, but that's all he has going for him.
