I swear, the two biggest names in this era are WEAK. Thurman loses to Pac and has a million injuries. Spence has the biggest fight of his career and less than 2 weeks to go, bails out. Pac fought Fraud Jr. with a MESSED up shoulder and never cancelled the fight. In fact, he's never cancelled a fight in his life.
This era of WWs are WEAK and a disgrace to boxing.
I have two thoughts on what happened here and no a Spence injury is not one of them. Thought #1, Spence has been looking crappy in sparring, they've watched some of the Pac footage of him looking like a million bucks and said, "F" that, he ain't old enough and can actually win. Thought #2, Fraud Jr. finally called him to give him advice. "I'll pay you 2-3 million to just pull out of the fight so Pac doesn't add to his legacy when he beats your face in, surpassing me even further in achievements, thank you".
Yeah, hate all you want, but this division and the politics are WEAK.
Yeah, don't worry about that. Spence's detached retina will have him back in a few months or as they indicated, EARLY NEXT YEAR. Of course it's not fake.
A torn retina is less severe but can easily turn into a detached retina if left untreated.
Didn't Sugar Ray Leonard retire for 5 years due to a detached retina?
Yeah, don't worry about that. Spence's detached retina will have him back in a few months or as they indicated, EARLY NEXT YEAR. Of course it's not fake.
WW? All of boxing right now is trash. I know theer's still some good fighters but in the last several years I can make a list of fights that never happened but should have, longer than the good fights that have happened. Fury is ducking Joshua, Wilder has always ducked Joshua, the top welters dont fight each other (props to porter though), light middle is useless, middleweight is useless, Canelo is fighting cans or anorexics, Inoue v Gonzalez/Estrada never happened and never will...I could go on and on.
I was focusing on just WW because of what just happened. A mega fight just had the rug pulled out from under it less than 2 weeks before fight night. Can't think of anything worse that I can recall recently although Wilder-Fury 3 delay pissed me off. Another delay to help the favorite win.
This one is in particular that much more crappy because it stole legacy from Pacman. He was going for another great achievement to his insane career and Spence pulling out denied him of that. Now he'll fight a who cares fight. Spence wants Pac later or "winner". Of course he does. He realizes the layoff helped Pac and Pac looked crazy rejuvenated. His speed doesn't look like it went anywhere. Those videos were frightening. If I was a fighter getting ready for Pac and saw those videos, I'd be like, how the "F" am I going to deal with that speed? I can barely see the punches in the videos... Spence is clearly taking another page out of the Fraud Jr. page to let Pac get a tad older and hopefully he slows down again or sustains a shoulder injury. :confused::rolleyes:

These guys have to start fighting each other, simple as that. Al has most of the top welters under his stable right? All of them have to stop hiding under Al Hymen's blouse and fight!
Was it me or did spence look like he lost a lot of weight to early in training. He was really lean at the start of training. I often wondered this. Thats why i kept hearing stories of 700 pushuos etc. He was weak and trying to build his strength back. Feel bad for him. Also feel bad for Pac. Pac is a real old school fighter. Not scared of anyone particularly in an era of **** talkers who are all scred of taking Ls. Ugas lucked out with this oppurtunity. This is actually a more dangerous fight to me. Ugas can do more thanSpence. No he doesnt puch as hard and is not as strong but he is more well rounded.
Spence is a notorious at blowing up in between fights and I honestly think he knew he didn’t have enough to beat Pacquiao and was probably going to get out worked like Pac did DLH which is crazy considering pac is ancient now.
PBC is making sure Spence has future paydays
This whole boxing era is trash to be honest. I cant ever recall having so few good fighters to follow....i feel boxing is dying
YEah the best fights are not being made. Boxing is definately dying, mainstream dont give a damn and no one even knows who the heavyweight champ is.
MMA on the other hand, best fights get made regularly, cause UFC is centralized and they dont have 4 different belts for each division and garbage greedy promoters ruining the best fights by marinating and ducking and dodging.
Boxing promoters = Cowards
Boxers = Cowards.
Get me in the ring with any of these cowards and i'll gladly get knocked out for a million, these guys wont step into the ring for MULTIPLE millions even when they got a chance to win, which I wouldnt.
I feel like Spence will cash out against Crawford next if Crawford even fights somebody. PBC knows this kid is not able to fight any longer, it was amazing for him to fight Danny Garcia after his car accident and he looked decent but I think after that his body is on the decline. Spence can’t make 147 just look how he looks, guy looks like he’s about to pass out. I believe deep down he had that eye issue and knew he could of gotten this fix right after the Garcia fight but he didn’t.
spence gets served up to Crawford gets KO’ed but gets a nice payday out of it and can he retire. Took balls to come back Spence but your poker hand is being shown.

Fighters are getting title shots earlier in their careers now. Many of them don't even have 20 fights and they are already fighting for titles. They lose their hunger after 30 fights once they make a few million.
HAHAHAHA you Pac tards are insane
spence hiding in doctor's skirt.. he got eye injury after watching pac's blazing speed during his training. a scared tactics.. a week before the fight? oh no.. scared of 42yo guy.. :rofl:
disagree completly
this era is on fire..
Pac, Spence jr, Crawford, Danny Garcia, Thurman, Porter.
Then there's the likes of Virgil Ortiz, Ennis, Ellis, you have talents like Daniyar Yelleusinov. In the UK right now there's Conor Benn, Avenesiyan (he's russian but lives in the uk), Mckinson, Florian Marku (albanian living in the uk), Crocker.
to me that looks stacked full of fighters and fights...
pbc did seem to function well in a time when they'd monopolised american boxing, so we got some great fights eg garcia, porter, thurman...and we've had spence jr vs porter and garcia too.
so what's the problem? the only fights that havent really materialised are crawford vs spence vs thurman. crawford vs porter is still a great fight though.
every single division in boxing is stacked except maybe Cruiserweight where the only stand out guys are Lawrence Okolie and Richard Riakhporke who hasn't boxed in ages (apparently some legal troubles, not sure why exactly).
HAHAHAHA you Pac tards are insane
Pac s win over spence is one of the greatest WW wins ever. Do nt use torn retina as xcuse, he beat garcia with same injury. Don't use sparring stories also..Pac took spence unbeaten record and spence had all advantages, and was lb4lbtop 5 and Pac beat spence with 2 years off.
2 unbelievable wins in a row now

lol, while I don't get crazy enthusiastic as you, I agree with this on a boxing politics level. Spence was expecting an aging 42 yr Pac out of the ring for 2 years. He did not expect a guy with blazing hand speeds that we've been seeing posted on the daily. Then we've heard Spence isn't looking that good, getting tagged up in sparring by combinations Pac is known for. You think he wants to be the next Thurman looking victim on Pac's list? At that point, this WW era can just shut their doors and go into hibernation.
no different that what floyd did years ago.. went on vacation when the threat comes near his door. boxing died long time ago but pac is keeping alive but still these young divas keep pushing this sports to the grave.
