I know that he is medically cleared after his car accident, and in the Danny fight he showed that he can definitely still take a punch (as far as I can tell)....
But I was watching the press conference today and something about his speech still bothers me.... like he's slurring a bit and talking almost like a baby having some difficulties.
If I can see it, then team Pac definitely see it.
Justine Fortune (Pac's conditioning trainer) said in an interview that Spence has life-long injuries from accident.
What do u guys think?
he has fake teeth now. they are permanent fake teeth, not dentures. they had to drill things down in his gums and chit. it took a while to heal. danny garcia never landed anything big on him, he hasnt really been tested post car crash. i wonder if he has full confidence his teeth and face wont get busted up bad post car accident if someone with power lands.
manny only has one stoppage though in the last 12 years, against a shot matthyse, so i still believe the most likely outcome is an underwhelming 12 round decision win for spence.
He sounds like he always does.
Yeah, I've always recalled him having a slightly slow southern draw to his voice. Doesn't seem different in relation to how he's always always.
That would have been an interesting fight back then, Manny vs Canelo, I'm not sure how it would have gone, as I think Canelo could have imposed his physical; strength more on Manny than Floyd, though maybe Manny would have been too much for him at the time.
I thought Mayweather's performance vs Canelo was sensational, but Canelo is a much better boxer now than he was then, like, he had all the potential then, but it wasn't fulfilled, he wasn't seasoned.
I'll be honest and say that Mayweather and Pac, should have fought many years earlier when they were both absolute prime. They were both still great, and I'll say equally slightly past their best, but it would have been better prime vs prime.
If they never fought, I would have held it against both of them, but in theory, if that happened and Pac beat Canelo, then I'd say you could argue either way on them, as Mayweather would still be unbeaten, and still has a great resume despite what knockers say. SRR only beat a few top guys and people cream over his resume.
I wanted Pac vs Canelo in 2014, but shortly after that, it was clear Canelo was going to go up in weights. Nash out
That's a classy post. I don't disagree at all.
Sure, Floyd had dibs on Hatton first, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese. Just kidding man, I'm not knocking Floyd, the early bird gets the worm, he did what he had to do. Hypothetically what if Floyd and Manny never mixed it up, and somehow in Manny's illustrious career he managed to fight and beat Canelo, would that propel him into first place? That would mean el Canelo is the tie that binds, beating him would be the straw that broke the camels back. Putting Manny ahead pound for pound. Yes or no?

8 weight classes is impressive, but the pounds difference between the lower rates is low, and often, they have weaker champions. As Hatton said himself, once he lost, he wasn't the same guy. He fought Pac like a drunk in a nightclub. No longer a great, calculated pressure fighter. Once Floyd showed Hatton that he wasn't the best, Hatton went back home, drank 1000 pints, and decided that he would just cash out against Pac. Nash out.

Lmao more like the most sedated version of Cotto. Corrales himself ruined by Floyd? Wasn't he in there with the greats and made great fights with that Brazilian kid, and the great Jose Luis Castillo, they were bangors. Btw Hatton got starched by PAC. What do you mean when he was awesome Judah? Dudes been known for having lapses in his mental stamina. McGregor, that was a nice win - despite the sideshow that it was I agree with that. What's more impressive is that Floyd beat 22 champions active or ex I believe, so I give him props too as a boxing fan. Buy what's harder is to be a champ in 8 weight classes.

Floyd beat many better than Manny. Canelo, Hatton (Floyd finished him) Marquez, Maidana (prime version) Corrales (was never the same again) Cotto (the best version of Cotto the world has ever seen) Judah (when he was awesome) Mcgregor (when he was P4P King in UFC, took his soul) Nash out.

keep telling yourself that... pac is floyd's best win and you just downplayed it! lmao! cant take it back anymore bruh.. now floyd has to live with maidana being one of his best win? chino??? really??? lmao!!!!!
Floyd 120 Marquez 107. Marquez 4 Pac 0. We all know it. Nash out.
He used to sound like a slurring cat when he was was on that syrup. Now it sounds like a perma slur. It could also be the new teeth. Also if they put a flipper, partial or any kind of temp dentures in that could cause it.

Nah. He walked through that car accident like it was nothing. Granite chin. He's going to send Pacquaio into a Jeff Horn rematch, before retirement. Pac needs to prove that he is better than the Hornett. Only two men have proven to be definitely better than Pac during his career, as you have to discount his early losses when he weighed around 3 stone - Mayweather 118-110, and Marquez 4-0, but Jeff Horn is the remaining question that we need to be answered. Nash out.

What do u guys think?
I think it's the new set of teeth more than anything else. They seem a bit large and I imagine that could take awhile to get used to.
