    Thats just *******ism at its finest, I would think most fans in the Phillipines who now have followed the sport for a few years, most definitely know Algieir is a far cry from Mayweather.

    They all discredit Pacquiao once he wins, people actually thought Algieri who has the reach, height and has lateral movements can actually win or give Pacquiao trouble.

    Haha. Bunch of idiots.

    I'll gave you a hint. What did Mosley, Cotto (after the 2nd KD), Clottey and now Chris have in common?

    Go on and process it a bit.

    Soon you will realize that Pacquiao has a monumental input on why Chris fought the way he did.

    And once the fight against FMJ gets made, he will join that list too. (not saying Pac sparks Floyd, but once he faces Pac, he will make it ugly too -- he has to, lest he join the ranks of the "other" fighters Pac beat like Hatton, Morales, Diaz, etc.)

    Is it fighters Mayweather fought at a catchweight or fighters passed their prime?

    - Marquez 144
    - Alvarez 152

    Mayweather jr:
    ''I fight my opponents at their best weight'', No Catchweight''. :deal

    * Miguel Cotto who was considered ''Shot and Past his prime'' when Pacquiao fought him because of the Margarito beating previously but somehow Cotto became a ''Prime Cotto'' against Mayweather considering that Cotto was brutally beaten by Pacquiao & Margarito before Cotto fought Mayweather.

    * Oscar De La Hoya & Shane Mosley ''PRIME'' when Mayweather fought them?

    I gave Algieri too much credit with my prediction of 118-110. But no exaggeration I would have bet my life for even just 20 dollars that Algieri was going to win less than 5 rounds.

    The odds were 15:1 a couple of weeks before the fight. That indicates a mismatch and was proven to be correct.

    I think you are a Knowledgeable poster, but your biased against fans of Pacquiao and your use of the ******* and they DKSAB is so far off the mark. Dont tar every fan with the same brush is all I am saying.

    As in " A LOT OF PEOPLE" do you mean duck_master and his 18 alt accounts ? He counts as one buddy.

    Check the thread and official poll, 95% New pac would win.

    odds was down to 8:1 just before the fight. bop swayed a lot of people that algieri gives pac a lot of problems

    imo it's still a good test for pac on how to handle a young, tall, rangy, running, backpedalling opponent

    Well I'm glad that you can tell I don't hate Pacquiao but instead hate his fans. People get confused by that. If you notice, I do have a posting history of supporting the "unappreciated" or "heavily hated on."

    But I've never used the word ******* (spare for perhaps a couple times in sarcasm years ago).

    It's kind of like how I hate MMA now because of listening to MMA/boxing hatred discussions. It's hard not to be annoyed by the other when you are a fan of boxing (or the opposite for MMA fans).

    I'm aware and in an honest moment don't hold it against posters, but when the scales of a discussion are lopsided in a situation where they shouldn't be, I have trouble not emphasizing the devil's advocate approach. And Pacquiao is beloved to an unhealthy degree on this forum so it seems like my agenda is spouting out at times I'm sure. I still try to be consistent even if a little awkward or extreme at times.

    I think its disgusting. Fierce Floyd Mayweather jr should immediately challenge Manny Paquaio. Fight him in Macao not Vegas & show him what a real man Fierce Floyd is
    ROFLMAO Now you flo mos trolls know what your posts look like LOL
