Just saw @ErrolSpenceJr on his way out of the Skyloft near @MannyPacquiao. I asked him if he was going to leave Pacquiao alone. He said, “Oh no. He looked good, just like the old Manny.”
Wouldnt be shocked if he takes the Khan payday first in Saudi Arabia.
Well, if you ask me I want him to retire, but if he wants to continue it's better to fight real challenges. Not glass jaw Khan, but that said. Yeah, it could be a possibility.
None of Manny future fights will alter his legacy, win or lose...
he can cherry pick 1 fight a year and we'll all say: All good boy! You earned the World's respect and you will be cherished for Eternity..."
Enjoy those last few years Pac... You're a living (and still fighting) Legend, and Legends walk on their own terms...
Pac has stated he will be fighting in Jan 2020.
So it's almost certain Spense unless Porter wins against Spense.

Soence is a tough fight. His size and power would be thought to overcome. Manny would be better off taking a page out of Mayweather’s playbook. Let Spence fight Porter and if he wins and unifies, tell him the road to a WBA title shot goes through Crawford. Whoever wins Spence vs Crawford gets Manny in mid 2020.
I think Manny will wait and see how things play out at 147 while trying to persuade Floyd to give him a rematch. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind seeing a Manny vs Mikey fight next year.

I think due to styles, Manny has a real chance at upsetting the much younger, Spence. Crawford is the one I'd stay away from if I'm Manny.
A win over Spence puts Manny in the highest echelon of ATG fighters.
Yes, I agree. This is Highlander stuff..
Pac has been slaying beasts after beasts..
If he wins over Spence. That's a feat that can't be broken to the nth degree.

I speculate that Pac's stamina rating at the Thurman fight was @ 50% compared to a prime one.
Thurman wont survive the 10th if Pac has a bit more gas.
Foolish ?
He's a prize fighter. he might miscalculate a match but its his job to fight.

He still got hit by the same punch that make him sleep. Just imagine if it's Spence or Crawford punch!
because spence and crawford has one punch ko type power??? lol!! thurman was the one that was suppose to night night manny with 1 shot. lol...
now it's wait until manny gets hit by spence or crawford??? yall really falling for this shiiet again huh???? pac's been fighting at 147 for how long now? pac's been eating punches from guys like cotto, marg, thurman, etc. for how long now? yall really getting manny fvvcked up!
Pacquiao needs to drop the belt if he has no intention of unifying. Who knows, maybe he can beat Spence. Spence doesn't have to quickest feet. Pacquiao could walk him into counters and use his angles to out maneuver him.
yup!! been saying it! pac will fight spence the same way he fought rios. in and out stick and move, use angles, etc. dont stand in one spot and trade. throw his combos then angle out. spence will have a hard time tracking manny down. just watch, spence will all of a sudden become a b level fighter overnight when this happens!
Anyone who thinks even a 40 year old Manny cant outbox a boxer like Spence is delusional.
Manny seen everything. To be honest Spence KO power is overrated. He is a downhill fighter. He wears dudes down. He is terrific at that but that **** dont faze Pac and that's something Pac have seen hundreds of times lol.
Spence ain't a precision counter puncher he could easily get lost in Pac's movement. Pac an OG man lol he seen everything
Manny can hold his own, it would be a good fight

Disgusting in the way that there's a good chance that it isn't competitive. I could see Manny really taking a sustained beating.
Maybe, but he deserves to make his own decision. If he is fine with fighting Spence, then you let him do it. No one would have batted an eye if Thurman was to fight Spence next...and Pacquiao just handled Thurman. He is legitimately at that level regardless of his age.
And if he does take a beating? He won't be any different than legends before him that went out this way.
He be foolish to go out and rumble the way he did with Thurman anymore with anyone. I doubt he scared of Spence and if the fight happens I'm sure pac would have a strategy to fit his own abilities at his age. It won't be a go for the kill type fight which I imagine is a lot more draining.
Damn people thinking Thurman reallllllllllly sucks if Spence is a bridge to far, but Thurman was a fine opponent choice.
If Manny keeps fighting I think he needs to fight Spence. Or Bud if he goes back to TR. He can compete with the best guys out there. Its bs not to do so. Either retire or fight real mfers.
If Manny wants to cash in on a novelty fight of some sort fair play to him doe. Manny vs Conor or Khabib or some sh^t like that I don't got no problem with cuz Manny would make bank & that fight would be bigger than boxing.I see your point. Maybe Spence and Crawford are not as much better than Thurman as I think they are. Maybe Pac should fight the best which is Crawford and Spence. I just hate to see him go out on a KO beatdown type loss. I rather he retire than that.
Manny can hold his own against Spence. He might not win, but he would put up a good fight. He's passed his best, but Manny proved he still has a lot left in the tank and he can still pull off some tricks when he needs to.
And if he somehow pulls off the win, that would be the final cherry on top to one of the greatest careers ever. He'll be the heavy underdog.
And if Manny loses, he'll pass the torch down to a prime young lion like Spence.
I am a big fan of both boxers and I hope that fight never gets made. I think Manny would stand his ground like he always does and would take a bad beating and get KOed by Spence and I don't want that to happen. Spence is the best welterweight to me. At his age and all the tough fights he has been in I think Pac has earned the right to pick his opponents to some extent and not fight Spence or Crawford.
A little less than 24 hours ago, I wanted Manny to ride off into the sunset. I’ve changed my mind now. I want to see him fight that boogeyman at 147. Many of us thought Oscar, Miguelito, Joshua, Tony & Keith would kill him but he survived. So this is nothing new to him. Feed him to Errol.
Amen........
