Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri are on a collision course Saturday, Nov. 22, in Macau, China for the WBO welterweight championship.

This is one of the most anticipated fights of 2014. With Floyd Mayweather Jr. refusing to face Pacquiao or Keith Thurman, boxing fans have been waiting anxiously for this match.

Each of these two boxers offer contrasting styles of fighting and a wide age gap, so viewers should be in for an exciting match regardless of who wins.

Latin Post.com takes a look at the two fighters and predicts a winner in this huge title fight:

Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2)

At Friday's weigh in, Pacquiao came in at 143.8 pounds. At 5-foot-6 and half, Pacquiao is at a very noticeable height disadvantage against Algieri. Not only is Pacquiao shorter and older, but he also has smaller reach when compared to Algieri, by five inches.

There's no doubt Pacquiao is at a disadvantage when it comes to size and age, but the 35-year-old Filipino has experience and power on his side.

Trainer Freddie Roach recently hinted at a first round knockout by Pacquiao, but that's not very likely. In Pacquiao's last two fights he defeated Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios. Pacquiao was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s and has routinely faced the best opponents.

Pacquiao has the far superior punching power, and he is a southpaw. Boxing isn't known for having home-field advantage, but make no mistake about it: Pacquiao will be the fan favorite in Southeast Asia.

This will be the second time Pacquiao fights in Macau, China, in his last three bouts.

Chris Algieri (20-0)

Algieri doesn't have nearly as much experience as Pacquiao, but he has the edge in size. Algieri weighed in at 143.6 pounds, and has a height of 5-foot-10. Algieri's reach was measured at 72 inches, whereas Pacquiao's reach was just 67 inches. Algieri failed to make the appropriate weight in his first attempt, but the second time was the charm.

Despite having a five-inch reach advantage and five-inch height advantage, most boxing fans still doubt Algieri's punching power.

Algieri has a perfect 20-0 record with notable wins over Mike Arnaoutis and Ruslan Provodnikov. In Algieri's last fight, against Ruslan Provodnikov, he won a split decision for the WBO Light Welterweight title. It was a controversial decision by the judges, but Algieri won it.

Algieri has to take advantage of his size and age to win this fight. Trying to defeat Pacman from the inside could be extremely detrimental. Algieri should try to imitate Lennox Lewis in his famous 2002 match against Mike Tyson with his huge reach advantage.

This will be the first time Algieri fights a professional bout outside the United States.

Schedule, Where to Watch

Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri will fight each other on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Cotai Arena in Macau, China. The fight will be shown on HBO PPV at 9 p.m. EST. You can view a live fight stream here.

Predictions

Algieri isn't a knockout artist and Pacquiao hasn't recorded a knockout since 2009, against Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto. Most likely, we will see a long and enduring fight with endurance playing the ultimate role and deciding factor. In the end, Pacquiao will have his way with Algieri and may even cut him with that hard left hook.
