Christopher Algieri (20-0)
Over the summer, Christopher Algieri made a name for himself defeating Ruslan Provodnikov for the WBO Light Welterweight title. The self-proclaimed The King Of New York is nearing the biggest fight in his career ever against Manny Pacquiao on November 22nd and could easily become Floyd’s number one contender this holiday.
Whether Money Wayweather would be willing to give him a shot remains to be seen, but Algieri feels confident heading forward especially with an major upset against Pacman. The fast-talking Long Islander has been very vocal about blood testing, which is something we know Floyd is very fond of. With only 20 bouts under his belt (8 of which coming via knockout), Christopher’s fate is in his own hands of obtaining a big payday.
