Major respect for Manny

[Larry the boss]

In the history of cherrypicking, Floyd goes down as the GOAT.

Had a chance to be the first to beat Margarito when he was the undefeated boogeyman, but instead fought a bum in Carlos Baldimir.

Had a chance to fight Thurman, Spence, or Crawford, but instead makes fights with Youtubers.

when was Margo ever the UNDEFEATED BOOGYMAN??

Pac bois are out of options

They can't use actual fights
They have to use fantasy fights

Anything can happen in fantasy fights

Bravo to Manny, Spence IMO is tougher than Crawford is.

that's the way i see it too....obviously, both are very tough fight for manny esp at this age but spence is the more proven ww by a long shot considering the fighters he's faced

Should Pac lose, what's next ?

[Eff Pandas]

He didn't pick Spence over Crawford. Just one side acted broke and couldn't come up with the money.

Have some shame, you are embarrassing yourself since the fight announcement.

I guess maybe Pacquiao should have gone to purse bid? L-O-L.

I mean seriously has there been a big name promoter who's failed more often than Bob has? The promoter who can't get the money for the big fight probably shouldn't be a fooking promoter. Either 1)you suck at being a guy who can raise money or 2)you suck at promoting your fighter so they aren't seen as big as the money they want to get or 3)you are overpaying your fighter so he won't leave & losing money on him. 1 if not more of these things are the problem here & it all starts with Bob.

Manny is a once in a generation fighter. I think he sees something in Spence that he feels he can exploit. I'm curious what it is.

Watch the David Diaz fight and you'll see how Pacs footwork can override a stiff right jab by a leftie.

David DIaz (5'6'').....best scalp is Morales (coming off of a 1-4 slide)

I'd like to see if a Pac fan is proud enough to name the 8 div champs he took belts from.

saw that too. it seems the only way for errol is to go to the body in the early rounds and deplete pac's stamina. this will give errol the opportunity to breakdown pac in the second half; pac will become flatfooted in the second half as seen in the thurman fight.

thurman did great body work in round 2, 3, and 5. which took out manny's footwork in the second half of the fight. errol is not gunna win this if he fights in the outside. he is not as mobile as floyd. and he fights in the front foot.

if errol focuses on the body in the first half, he will win by stoppage.
if errol fights in the outside in the first half, he will lose by decision.

this is spence's fight to lose.

Good points..

But the thing that Trumps all for me is Pac's footwork. He demolished David Diaz with his positioning. His footwork made him go to where he can score.

If Pac's stamina can at least last as equal to the Thurman Fight. Pac can be in places Errol can't see.. and we all know punches that can't be seen by an opponent is very lethal to get hit by.

So in my assessment. If Pac has the stamina to use his footwork and use the whole ring for 12 rounds. Errol will lose in a UD.
If pac don't have the stamina anymore to be moving around the ring.. Errol will have the chance to finish him in the later rounds whether it's a tko or a UD.

This fight for me is for Pac's fight to lose as well. It all boils down to his stamina holding up at 42.
