there are a LOT of people that say that Chris Algieri will outbox Manny Pacquiao on the 22nd. Dont tell me that these people are all Pacquiao fans that are hyping up Algieri because they are not. These people genuinely dislike Pacquiao and want to see him take an L. But im willing to bet that right after Pacquiao whoops this guy badly, ALL of these people (and more) will discredit the win entirely and say Algieri is a bum. Thoughts?
People underrating chris because he is not that known pac was in the same place when he fought ledawba he was a complete underdog something like 20-1 chris has a great great jab great stamina he could outbox pac remember pac is getting older can pac overcome this young undefeated highly skilled fighter?
This...but if pacquiao dominates chris, your not gonna say "Algieri has a good jab and great stamina, but Pacquiao was too much for him" It'll be more like "Algieri was a bum with no chin all he did was run."
I'm not a PAC Fan, but I would bet my life that he absolutely steam-rolls this guy. I'll be surprised if Algeiri makes it past round 4.
Tbh... it isn't that great of a fight. As a former kickboxer I give mad respect to Algieri because it is the toughest combat sport imo. Chris has some ok fundamentals and will be best served by keeping a really simple, work behind the jab strategy. Having said that, Pacs speed will be too much and Algieri is getting the sh*t beat outta him. Late stopppage probably.
I think Algieri will outbox Manny and be robbed, I've liked Chris for awhile pre Ruslan, he has far more talent than many of you are giving him credit for. Bradley and Herrera didn't come close to outboxing Ruslan as efficiently as Algieri did. Ruslan lost to Chris, automatically making Ruslan a bum in many fans estimation instead of crediting Chris with a great performance and triumphing in the face of adversity. Chris is being written way too easily either by the Floyd fans who want to discredit Manny for taking the fight, or by Manny fans who can't even consider their hero being beaten. Algieri will shock world November 22nd. .....And be robbed on the scorecards.
Yeah that is true. Some of the same people who say Algieri will beat Pac, will then criticize Manny for fighting him if Manny wins. That's how it goes with haters. Time will tell how good Algieri is but he did recently beat a belt holder at 140 so he's not bad. .
Algieri is an excellent boxer and has great faith in himself but I think that he is truly underestimating Pac and that will be his downfall.
Probably it will happen, it happens all the time. Personally, I don't rate Algieri all that highly, I think he's going to get knocked out, and early.
so true algieri is no bum by any stretch I just think that manny being an all time great should be able to handle chris.that being said I also wonder just how good chris really is he's 5 11 with the style to cause manny trouble.
whoever wins I'll be happy and if chris does get robbed he gets a rematch and another big payday so its all good.
I think Algieri is very good. But, I think this fight will prove how much Pacquiao has left. If Pac has a true desire to fight and killer instinct still in him, then he takes the fight and outworks Algieri. Algieri will make Pacquiao look bad regardless.
same as when Mayweather fights, and actually thats the deal with every fight now, the loser is overrater/a bum the winner beat a bum or cherry picked
