I mean the age factor scares me, the dude is almost 43. So we can't be too confident.
But I've always maintained prime Pac would whip Spence with ease.
Speed. Is Pac still faster than Spence? Yes. I think he's more powerful too (people will disagree on this).
0:39. Pac is right here about speed. Assuming your chin is good, and you've got good fundamentals. It's always hard to overcome a fighter faster than you. Speed is the deciding factor, always. You're always playing catchup with the other guy when you can't see his punches coming, struggle to time him, and get beaten to the punch. I remember Pac commenting on the Floyd Canelo fight, saying Canelo needs to be careful because Floyd is faster than him. I didn't think Floyd was that much quicker than Canelo but the fight told a different story.
Speed is key.

Spence to me is a man of many talents but a master of none
But I saw Tim Bradley in the same way and he gave a younger more prime pac close fights it's literally very low chance pac beats Spence but if he is competitive and goes the distance thats a sort of victory he has no need to have taken this fight
Some are saying in this thread just because Pac had a close fight with Thurman and Thurman is a notched lower than Spence in talent. Spence should beat Pac.
When do you guys ever learn triangle theory doesn't work.
Pac is great with Lefties, and Thurman is no leftie, Spence is. Granted all that Pac fought that were southpaws are not in Spence caliber, but I got from a reliable source, Gerry Penalosa, Pac's good friend and a fellow champion boxer. Who's also a leftie who loved to spar with him.. and he has openly said, Pac loves LEFTIES. It opens more doors for him..
Not to mention. To those who still don't know. Pac is ambidextrous. That's why his good with both his left and right hand. Anyway, just wanted you guys to know.. Pac can win this, and if he does, I won't be shocked if he embarrasses Spence.. That said, Pac can also lose this fight.. It's a 50/50 fight..
All I'm saying if Pac does win.. It means he figured out Spence, and once he does.. Spence will be beaten up so bad. It will be painful to watch. Speed is the great equalizer. Pac has that in Spades.
Im sure Manny will look great early, its can he take the continuous pressure round after round, all this talking of stopping Spence is dreaming Manny hasn't stopped anyone worth a sht in 12 or so years, he was fading against Thurman and Thurman was also fading and not throwing right hands over the last rounds, Spence is a different dog, his chin is good he can cut the ring, he is very economical with his shots and he is accurate, Spence is great at nothing but very solid all around, its that constant pressure that will get to Manny, if Errol can work the body Manny is in big trouble, I dont see Manny stopping Spence at best I can see him outboxing him to a UD, I think Errol knows this is his chance and he will be super motivated, the Garcia fight did him a world of good, yes he was off but I think its a mistake to think he is permanently off I feel he has a good lead up for this.
If Manny gets the win I,ll be one of the first to give him his dues, its a great fight Im looking forward to it.

Bruce Lee is an actor bro
Those movies aren't real
His an actor yes, but a true martial artist devoted to his craft. I respect his speed. Those who get it. Worship him, because how fast he throws his punches and kicks. That's not camera trick. Those are qualities of a man which know how to harness speed.
Thurman wasn't in his prime you dumb casual lol. If you think Pacquiao is too old why are you picking him to win? That's how stupid you and his other casual fans are.
Yeah right.. I'm a casual? You have a profile pic of Ali. Have you watched him live? I have. That's how long I've been in this game. You think you know shit. Complaining over Thurman who lost to an old dog in Pac. How lame is that? You complaining Thurman lost since he's not prime anymore? Even if he's 32, and even if his not prime coz you said he was injured before.. He still fought an old dog. That is no excuse to say Pac didn't deserve that win. Pac won against someone 8 years younger than him. That's what you call no excuses.
And if you really are not a casual and as old as I do. You should no better when a man is in his early 30s they heal fast that's why the are called prime, coz they are young and at their peak health. They recover quickly, unlike someone in his 40s they don't really recover or heal like a prime fighter.. That's what's cringy about your NO EXCUSES. You can't even see yourself whining over a Thurman who's younger than his opponent. Complaining he's not the best Thurman, but you can't even see he lost to an OLD MAN. It's you who's looking like a casual. Step up your game bruh. You sound like a scorned biatch.
BUM. Pac is one of the greatest ever. Spence is a failed designated driver that has never faced anyone with speed and power. He went life and death with Porter and broken Kell Brook. Pacquiao wins. GOODNIGHT
Okay casual fan.
Spence will make it competitive by boxing off the back foot early on. If he comes forwardit will look like Pac vs Rios.
Only way spence has a chance to win.
Box early.
If he goes after pac and exchange with pac hard..... Spence going to get beat up.
His best bet is box early and wait for manny to tire mid-late rounds.
If he tries to go at pac early.....while pac is still fresh.....
Pac gonna murk him.
He went life and death with a version of Keef Thurman that was duct taped back together. I had that fight 6-6, with Manny only getting the W due to the flash knockdown in the first. Razor thin fight.
Spence is better than that version of Thurman and Manny is two years older.
Youre on it, this is where its at reality,
They have brainwashed themselves into thinking Thurman was at his best, they gotta know he wasn't its an impossible task considering what he had been through over the previous 2 yrs,,, this is why Manny was the betting favorite, he wont be the betting favorite over Spence.
If Manny is getting pinned mid-fight and Spence is digging body shots Manny will feel every bit of 42.
I am rooting for Manny all the way, but I really don't think he will win this fight. He is 42 and has been out of the ring for two years. If Pacquiao were to win it would rank among the greatest wins in boxing history, but I see Spence winning a clear decision here. I would not be totally shocked if Pacquiao were to get stopped. Everyone has to get old sometime.
LOL.. Truly delusional.

Wouldn't surprise me at all tbh. No one at 147 stands out as a special boxer, just good boxers but nothing as special as a Floyd, Pac or even the likes of a Morales or Marquez quality fighter. The only problem that I see playing against Pac is stamina, he did not look too comfortable against Thurman in the late rounds so he better stack some rounds from the beginning and see if he can cruise in the later rounds

What makes Bruce lee lethal?
It's his speed.
What's Bruce Lee and Pacquiao have in common.
TOO MUCH SPEED.
That's why he is still a LIVE DOG AT AGE 42.
