Will you give Spence credit if he gets the decision over Pacquiao?

    Something like that. Just swap the sizes around.

        No, he gets a good payday but he is supposed to beat him and beat him in a dominate fashion

          Pacquiao is going to be 43. That's all you have to look at. I mean obviously in his Thurman fight he showed he's still a top level guy, but he hasn't fought ever since and that 2019. Two years and 1 month of inactivity won't help him. Hopkins at 40 fought 3 times in 2005. In 2006 he fought once, in 2007 he fought once. 2006-2007 was Hopkins being inactive. At 43 he fought twice, going 1-1 vs Calzaghe and Pavlik, although the Calzaghe loss was disputed. From 2009 to 2012 he fought 6 times.

          Foreman at 39, 1988, fought 9 times. At 40 years old in 1989 fought 5 times and at 41,1990, fought 5 times. That's 19 fights in 3 years. And was averaging 2 fights per year until his retirement. Vs top guys? Not really, he may have fought 3 decent fighters in that span. But he stayed active.

          The key for old fighters is to stay active.

          Pacquiao has not been active. So he's old and inactive. Everyone should be expecting Spence to KO him early. If he does not, he gets no credit. He just beat an old and inactive fighter. And let's face it, if he does KO him early, it means nothing either. It just means Pacquiao needs to retire.

            Of course I will, Manny Pacquaoi is still a great fighter. I still would bet on Spence here.

              if spence beat pac then he's a certified very special boxer and an ATG. eventhough pac is very old, past prime, part time boxer, full time senator and 2 years inactive is still the best ww of today.

                BS , Manny is only an easy beat for Floyd, he is a tough fight for anyone else, people skipped around singing when he beat Thurman so if Errol beats Manny especially by stoppage its a good win for Errol, on one hand, they claiming Manny will beat Spence or Manny gets old, well they can't have it both ways.

                There is so much utter BS in this place, this is boxing with only 2 men in there hitting on each other, if either guy wins clearly they deserve credit for getting the job done.

                  manny won that fight. he landed almost all the clean punches. how was it easy for floyd lol. people dont even watch the fights i guess. 1 guy hitting the other and one guy trying to land a grazing jab and failing. EASY WORKKK
