    i honestly look forward to watching chris fight again. he's not an elite fighter but he's definitely a name that's worthy of mentioning when you're talking about top fighters. i wan't to see him fight terrence crawford.

    In his last three fights, he's faced Provodnikov, Pacquiao and Khan. He needs to take it down a notch (in terms of opposition) and put together a few wins.

    Maybe fights with Josesito Lopez and then Andre Berto?. Both would be exciting, and I think he Algieri could win those.

    If he can't, he needs to call it a day and focus on his education. He's had a nice little run over the past year, even though he didn't win them all.

    He seems like a very nice guy. He throws all the right punches. His lack of power is a killer, though.

    Although he lost he performed well enough to keep his name in the hat for bigger fights.

    I'll definitely keep an eye on him...

    He should stay at WW and work his way up. fight some of the lower top 10 guys.

    Nah, I liked how he looked pressuring Khan. It was a pleasure to watch even though I'm a Khan fan. He made me a fan.

    Well, I've been liking this kid since his fight with Taylor. I thought he was really above and beyond the ESPN scene.

    I'd love to watch him develop under Jackson. Also, elite depends on how you class it. I think he can beat the current "lineal champion" Danny Garcia; therefore, I think he's an elite fighter. He sure as hell did better than I thought he would against Khan.

    Pretty sure you called him a bum when he lost to your former idol Pacroid

    Not a huge fan but i had to eat crow. I predicted a easy win for khan (though i didint think it was close) but he made khan work for his win.

    That's what makes him so great. He isn't scared to fight ANYBODY. He fought two fierce punchers in 2014, got knocked down a total of 8 times, and still kept going. Dude has ***** and a heart the size of planets.

    Yeah but when you keep losing you'll be a welterweight Darnell Boone.
