    Who's the better boxer Bradley or Chris?
    We've seen how smart Pac is when fighting boxers like JMM or Timbo :good
    Chris has the reach and height advantage
    We've never seen Pac fight a Tall boxer

    I think Bradley is the better boxer but Bradley is the same size as Pac. Algieri and Bradley are not the same. I think Algieri will trouble Pac at times but ultimately fall short. If Provo was able to find Chris' face, Pac will.

    This.

    Provo is more powerful but he is also a brawler. Pacquiao is much quicker and better at boxing. That and let's not forget Bradley is a top P4P guy, not some dude who just won his first title.

    Horrible mismatch can't believe this fight is actually happening, Pacquiao beats Algeiri any which way he wants

    Ruslan along with Broner and a couple of others was the most overhyped guy on this board by some way.

    Ruslan was over rated but is still a good boxer. Broner was overrated and hyped, he has potential but isn't that good.

    Ruslan is good and dangerous but has little more than a punchers chance against top level fighters who can box.

    Anyway this fight, if Pacquiao doesn't win convincingly then he probably needs to hang them up. Algieri is a good fighter but not in the same league as the Pacquiao we know but does that Pacquiao exist anymore? If he's even 80% of the fighter he was, he should win.

    Nope, as Mayweather once said, there's levels to this ****.

    The only thing Algieri has is the size advantage, which isn't even a big deal with you talk about someone like Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao has beaten Margarito/Cotto/etc

    He has also beaten Timothy Bradley who is by far the better boxer than Algieri. Algieri can box, but Pac's boxing ability is vastly more proven, he won't be able to outbox Pacquiao.

    Algieri beat a one dimensional fighter in Provodnikov (Who is good but nowhere near the elite level, not even close)

    He is also feather fisted, and that will be something Pacquiao can expose.

    If Pac doesn't win big/convincingly, he needs to retire.

    That's the bottom line.

    Algieri isn't ready for someone like Pacquiao, and I don't think he ever will be.

    He has 0 amateur fighters, 20 pro fights, sure a kickboxing background but that's not enough. It will never be enough.

    I consider Broner the more skilled boxer, Ruslan is just one tough ******* who won't stop coming forward throwing punches for 12 rounds but thats about all he's got...very one dimensional

    Would much rather have seen Broner-Algieri instead of this farcical Pac fight

    I actually think Algeri is going to be a tough fight for Pacquiao. His length, speed, and footwork are really good considering his late start in the boxing game. He has a good chin and enough heart for two fighters. Realistically, Algeri can spoil the show by using his best punch, his sharp jab. If he manages to keep a hard jab in Pac's face all night, sneaking in some right hands and a left hook on the inside, he could pull this off.

    I think people are just pissed that Algeri fought through adversity and managed to outbox Provodnikov. He's a new face on the scene that nobody knows, so he has got to be all hype and luck, apparently.

    Algieri is still green at this level, would have preferred he got the chance to win a few more fights at top level first.

    Hard to say what level he is at right now, Corley pushed Provodnikov close and even had him backing up at times, but Algieri showed skills against Provodnikov and Taylor seems a big jump to fight a P4P fighter.

    Pacman would have to get old overnight to lose to Chris Algieri.

    Algieri is a good fighter, don't get me wrong. He can beat lots of the top guys a LWW and WW, but not Pacquiao.
