“I'm tall for the weight class. I am built to go in and stand in front of the man and trade bombs - why would I do that? I've got length, I've got reach, I've got speed; I've got footwork and defense, but that's not what's going to be the difference in this fight. It's not a tall guy versus a short guy - It's Chris Algieri versus Manny Pacquiao. It's what I bring to the table versus what he brings to the table. I think a lot of it has to do with my mental preparation and mind going into this fight as well as what we know from Manny.” ThinkingKnowsMenMindWellsGuyFightingDifferencesClassFrontsHe ManBuiltWeightTablesTradeSpeedDefensePreparationBombsLengthTallVersusFootworkPacquiaoTall Guys Author:Chris Algieri

“Why are tall guys always attracted to short women? Not just moderately short women, either... Tiny women. Polly Pockets. The tallest guys always-always-always go for the shortest girls. Always.

“In college I took a class from a professor who changed my whole life. I can't really remember what his name was, or what the class was, or even which college it was, but I found that if you sit behind a really tall guy and kind of slouch down in your chair you can drink Scotch right from the bottle and not get caught.” IfsKindI CanWholeRememberGuyFoundNamesBehindsClassChangedCollegeDrinkCaughtAlcoholWhole LifeChairsTallBottlesProfessorsScotchTall Guys Author:Bill Ervin
