Pacquiao vs. Spence - who wins?

It depends how Pac shows up at the fight. He is over 40 and has been inactive for a long time. Spence is bigger younger and has technic, too many people underestimate his jab but doesn't have superior hand speed. This fight is interesting because of Spence being a proven top WW and the dynamic Pac.

Pac. Spence is too basic.

Grandpa Pac's defies all logic! Pac wins!

Love Manny but I have my money on Spence. Hope Manny makes me lose that money.

i got pac winning. i dont care what anyone else says. spence is not proven yet. couldnt even drop a 135lbs mikey garcia, how is he gonna beat manny? where as for pac, put thurman on the floor and had him on the back foot at times!!!!! porter couldnt even do that to thurman! danny g wasnt even able to do that to thurman! stand by it..

it is going to be interesting to see what happens if Pac hits Spence with tthat straight left down the middle early in the fight. Spence can be clipped and doesnt have that good feet quickness. Pac will turn him too. This ^ I can see that happening.

Not comfortably at the least. Spence isn't at the point of his career as Cotto, Oscar, Mosley etc. He doesn't fight like Clottey, Hatton, or Margarito either. Pacquiao has a better chance to win with his form from 10 years ago but I wouldn't favor him over Spence. He's a different kind of fighter and his skill set. As long as it isn't a catchweight, Spence should beat 2009 Pacquiao or 40 year old Pacquiao. Spence would definitely have his moments even against a prime Pacquiao but ultimately I think he would fall into his hands style wise. I’d say it would be a 8-4 type of fight in Manny’s favour. Back then Pacquiao could maintain a crazy pace for 12 rounds along with his superior hand and maybe even more crucially foot speed that would allow him get in range to land his combinations and then spin out of danger for the most part vs Spence who isn’t the most difficult target.

Thurman and Spence are different stylistically, Spence has more of a reputation and throwing a lot of grinding you down with calculated aggression. He also seems to get stronger as the fight goes on. Don’t get me wrong I think the Pacquiao of 10 years ago would win fairly comfortably. Not comfortably at the least.

Don’t get me wrong I think the Pacquiao of 10 years ago would win fairly comfortably. thurman was gonna walk pac down and ko him. got clipped in the 1st round and that changed everything. i see the same scenario with spence. matter fact, i see spence getting clipped more! spence just comes at you with no head movements at all. and imo, thurman is a heavier puncher than spence.

and how are you so sure that spence will be walking pac down??? remember what thurman said before the fight with manny?

This version of Pacquiao probably gets broken down and lose a clear decision or late KO, but should give Spence a good test early on. Prime Pac would be a different story

Is it me or does Spence have a smilar size and jab like Clottey, Yes he fights inside better but to me he isnt as mobile on his feet as Clottey.

Spence because Manny can't fight at a high enough pace to keep him off him for 12 rounds anymore. I think he would give Spence all he could handle for 6 rounds and then be worn down by the bigger fresher Spence. and how are you so sure that spence will be walking pac down??? remember what thurman said before the fight with manny?

The Spence that fought Porter will get hit by Pac alot. Pac can hurt you with one punch more than Porter plus he has very fast feet and he throws alot of punches from angles where you cant see them coming. I think Pac is a tough Matchup for Spence as well as The youth and size of Spence being tough for Pac. This fight will be very competive and i feel Pac will possibly have Spence in a shell fighting tall than going inside like he had to do against Porter.
