He’d do better than Mikey... not sure he’d survive til the 12th though...
Mikey has incredible focus and poise. Pac is on the way out. He doesnt have the youth or firepower (though he’s better equipped on the firepower end) to withstand Spence.
Pac vs Thurman is much more favorable for Pac.
No. Thurman is all wrong for Pac's style of always trying to entertain the fans. One Time has become Run Time Thurman. It's extremely hard for any offensive fighter trying to catch a runner.
Size-wise, it's a decent matchup, but I could see it putting the audience to sleep because of the running and surviving.
He didn't have to hurt Mikey. He just had to whoop his ass which he did. He was outclassed and dominated for the entire fight. Garcia was easily the more scientific, skilled, experienced and fundamentally sound of the two and yet he still couldn't do nothing to frustrate or hurt Spence.
Garcia is tough I expected him to quit but dam he looked bloated and tired in there
Yep that same guy Pacquiao turned it down and fought for a vacant 154 belt against career welterweight at a catchweight

Yup you're right about this one
He should have fought this career welterweight @ 147 instead of a 150 catchweight. He gets no credit for this cause he drained a 147 guy to 150.
Pacquiao wouldn't reach him. When's the last time Pacquiao saw a good southpaw jab, probably not in a zillion years. Errol showed he has a jab and he knows how to control the distance this fight, which is enough against an older Pacquiao.
when was the last time Spence fought a southpaw with a level of pac? It will be a pac-mag sll over again.

Paq should not fight Spence especially after Spence put him on the spot tonight in front of a hometown crowd. Spence was trying to embarrass Manny and try and box him into a corner by giving the impression if Manny did not say yes Manny would of been labeled a coward. Manny should fight Thurman for several reasons. First Thurman is a bigger name and Thurman is better known than Spence as he has been the face of many PBC network fights, he will get more money for Thurman, and he has a much better chance of winning.
After the Thurman fight Manny should retire. Spence on the other hand instead of calling out smaller or older fighters and since the only real fight worth having for him at 147 is Crawford will not happen maybe he should move up and fight at 154lbs or make a leap at greatness like Mikey tried tonight and go after Alvarez. He would be paid an enormous amount of money, much more than fighting welterweights and it would be an excellent challenge for him. If Brook had the guts to challenge GGG then Spence should have the guts to challenge Canelo. Khan had the guts to go up and fight Canelo, don't tell me Khan is braver than Spence.
As for what type of credit Spence should get tonight he should get no more credit than Loma got for beating Rigo. Spence is a very good fighter, but he should not get the number 1 p4p spot based on beating Garcia. At least Loma admitted his win against Rigo was a good win, but not great since Loma was smaller than him. Spence should admit the same because Mikey may be a 135lb fighter, but he started his career at featherweight 5 weight classes lower! Mikey's size disadvantage tonight was obvious.
Manny jumped into the ring, meanwhile, Porter was looking for the fastest way out of the stadium.
Noticed that. I donno why either i think porters style would give spence problems
I really really hope that they will make this fight next.

I doubt it because Mikey was able to last and sustain that onslaught from Spence largely due to his overall youth and vigor.
Pac is stronger and more filled out at the 147 pound division than Mikey but he is also older. So he has a disadvantage over Mikey in that regard.
In addition Mikey is approximately 10 years younger than Manny Pacquiao. So he is not as shot, declined or as diminished as Pac is.
Moreover, I hate to say it but if he put a similar ass whooping on Pac the way he did Mikey, he would potentially stop him if he can't hurt him with his punches like Garcia couldn't with his.
I honestly think outta Pac vs Spence, D Garcia, Thurman, Porter, His toughest fight is against Porter. With the way Porter rushes in with his head, i can see that fight ending up like Pac vs. Horn, with Pac getting roughed up against a dirty fighter and losing on points because he refuses to fight back dirty.
Oh no. Not Pacquiao. Spence must be so scared after seeing what he did to Broner and Mathysse. Seriously just let that man retire in peace. He's shouldn't go out fighting Spence.
