    Wrong dude. i don't believe Pac hits harder than Ruslan at all. Ruslan had Bradley on his last leg and struggling to stand. Pac hasn't knocked him down once in 24 rounds.

    I've made this point a few times already, granted I've been high on Algieri for a while I actually watch NBCSN and ESPN fights.

    Provo did more damage to Herrera than Alvarado and Garcia.
    Provo did more damage to Alvarado than Marquez and Rios.
    Provo did more damage in 2 rounds to Tim than Pac did in 2 fights.

    Algieri is 2 centimeters shorter than Tony they're basically the same height.

    ...and he was half that, a still-prohibitive 7/1 against Provodnikov.

    Factor in that Pacquiao is only so much wider a favorite than Provodnikov because of branding and name recognition (in h2h ability they are in the same ballpark nowadays) and really that 14/1 means little except that Algieri has a chance to prove doubters wrong yet aagain while those backing him are looking at potentially another cash windfall.

    I see Algieri taking this one again, people didn't give him anywhere enough credit for the win last time, he fought a great fight off the back foot and I think he will try and replicate that against Pacquaio...
