“On paper, Spence is too strong, skilled and young. In addition, he sports the length and size, which implies a bad night for a 40-year-old Manny Pacquiao if they fight next year. That’s why in my past interviews I didn’t advise the fighting senator to take on this challenge,” Mr. Icasiano said in an online interview.

I said in the second round hes lost his legs.
He needs to retire otherwise if it was Bud or Spence they would have needed to throw the towel in.
And people thought Manny would beat Spence and Spence was scared of him.
Manny Pacquiao, the famed eight-division world boxing champion, returns to the ring more than two years after his previous bout. Pacquiao said on Friday that he will face unified WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr on August 21st in Las Vegas.

While some may argue that Pacquiao's welterweight career pales in comparison to the other WW greats, you fail to appreciate his resume as a whole.
He's a true figther who's been figthing for nearly half his life. Good luck to the two gentlemen.
Rightly or wrongly, it's ''what have you done lately''.
Pac is an entertaining guy to watch.
May the better man win.
If it were any other fighter, they would not get to use that excuse. At least not as often as Pac has.
I don't want to rehash Pac's WW career but an HONEST fight fan will be far from impressed.
Pac is going out with a bang (Thurman and Spence)

I agree that Spence will annihilate Pacquiao at this point, and the bout should not be on catch weight. But I disagree with your remark about selective picking fights because if you follow the sport during Pacquiao's reign, GBP and Top Rank are in a feud that doesn't let its fighters to fight from other companies, giving them a limited choice of fighters moreover Pac fought tough battles at the time.

We shall see if Pac keeps this date.
Props if he does. He is making up with a WW career of cherry picking the worst of the worst.
This will not end well for Pac but big props.
Old and inactive taking on a younger fellow southpaw.....
Better not be 144 CW :lol1:
