It's pretty obvious watching that fight that Algieri wasn't particularly skilled at that point in his combat sports career.
Also, this is a ridiculous debate. Algieri probably could have real success in MMA, but he's already said that he's not interested in the transition. It's never going to happen and trying to compare his durability to McGregor's isn't the most worthwhile debate, either.
He certainly has gotten much better since then. I think he would be top 10 within a year, he already has a kickboxing and wrestling background correct? Would be pretty easy for him to make the transition imo.
