Pacquiao vs Algiergi

[Addicted to_boxing]

While Pac SHOULD win...at this stage of his career nothing is certain. He clearly isn't the same fighter he used to be. Algiergi is no Marquez. But he is a skilled fighter with good heart. Certainly better "big" names for Pac to fight. But i think some of you are overselling this version of Pac. He hasn't
"destroyed" anyone in quite a while. His speed and power have clearly diminished compared to years ago.

Why not Thurman or Porter ? No longer can Pac fans say that neither has earned the right. Insted we get Manny continuallly fight light hitting fighters moving up in weight and old retreads . Some things just never change .......

I am not disagreeing with your point. All i am saying is that even though Algiergi is not a threat on paper...at this stage of Pac's career, it's still by no means a sure win.
