Chris Algieri is not just looking to win against Manny Pacquiao.

The unbeaten light welterweight champion wants to dominate the Filipino boxing icon in their upcoming fight on Nov. 22 at the Venetian Resort in Macau, China.

In an interview with BoxingScene, Algieri said that he is aware that anything can happen if the fight goes to the scorecard. To avoid absorbing a controversial decision loss, the 30-year-old said the he will go all out to make the fight look one-sided in his favor.

"People always ask about that -- if I'm worried about fighting there or getting a decision. I don't think like that. I'm a positive guy. It happens in the sport [people getting robbed], but if it happens it happen. I don't ever plan on having close fights," Algieri said. "I plan on dominating my fights. I'm coming with the same game plan for this fight."

Algieri, who has a 20-0 record with eight knockouts, is coming off a split decision win against Ruslan Provodnikov to win the World Boxing Organization light welterweight title.

In his upcoming fight against Pacquiao, Algieri, who will reportedly receive a career-high $1 million guaranteed purse, will look to win and take Pacquiao's WBO welterweight belt to become a two-division champion.

The Huntington, New York native admitted, though, that winning against Pacquiao is easier said than done. Algieri played down speculation that the former pound-for-pound king is already washed up, saying that Pacquiao is very determined to silence his critics.

"I looked him in his eyes and he still had fire in his eyes," Algieri said. "He's not an old man. He's here to fight."

Pacquiao is coming off a unanimous decision win against Timothy Bradley in April. While he will be a heavy favorite in the upcoming fight, Pacquiao will have to find ways to neutralize Algieri's four-inch height advantage.

Pacquiao's camp negotiated the fight at a 144-pound catchweight so as not to allow Algieri to maximize his size advantage, but the New Yorker said that weight won't be a factor in the Nov. 22 bout.

"I wanted the fight to be at 147. It's a welterweight fight and welterweight limit is 147. Let's make it there," Algieri said. "They chose to have it at 144. But like I said, it doesn't matter where we fight -- at the end of the day it's not going to be my size that's going to be the difference in this fight."
