I think the odds are on line with the possibilities of either man winning.
Pacquiao has been out of the ring for 2 years, he is 42 years old, sure he is a legend, I'm possitive he can give Errol some close rounds and even win some but doing it for 12 rounds it's gonna be a feat by itself.Comment

If PAC wins, he has a claim for being the GOAT. Yes that’s right. Better than Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. I don’t think you guys really understand how great he is. If he beats Spence and then beats Crawford, it’s a lock as GOAT, with no discussions about it. He separates himself from any other ATG in the history of the ring.Comment

I'm interested in seeing how Pac deals with a southpaw. He hasn't fought one in almost 20 years. I think Spence wins a jabfest type of fight.Comment

Spence was actually a 2:1 favorite over Brook in the UK.Comment

Even at the twilight of his career, you can’t count Pacquiao out. Spence better show up ready.Comment

Guys the fight is going to be boring like spence vs mikey, spence is no fool he will keep distance and just pop one twos while pacauiao tries to walk forward using head feints to lure spence only for spence to back step and keep his composure.

For those who like good reads, and love the sport of boxing, this is a MUST read!!! Here's an excerpt:
Requiem For a Welterweight
"One of the oldest sayings in boxing, the first warning every aspiring fighter hears long before they've ever entered a ring, is that the most dangerous punch, the one to fear most, is the one you never see coming. While the cliché is certainly true at the start of a career, it rarely holds up toward the end. This is because almost none of the great fighters in history ever stopped after that punch — and the history of the sport suggests that few can ever escape it. Pacquiao, despite earning a reported $174 million since 2009 from boxing and endorsements deals, is no different.
Why? Because, of course, boxing's not so well kept dirty secret is that, financially, most fighters can never stop. No matter how outlandish a fortune they've earned inside the ring and out, most greats not only never get ahead, few can even manage getting out from under. They never put much distance between themselves and where they came from. With few exceptions, they all end up desperately needing one more payday. And then another. And then another. Most are forced to hang around so long their endings are consummated by the uglier, more sinister punch that they all saw coming a mile away. Joe Louis, at 37 years old, was never blindsided by the physical punches that Rocky Marciano landed to knock him helplessly out of the ring and the sport. No, the punch he never saw coming and what set him up for Marciano's right hand was debt — in his case, to the government. Louis owed the IRS $500,000 and had nowhere else to go and get it but back into the ring.
Nearly all the greats were forced to stick around for those last final beatings, the ones that did lasting damage to their souls as much as their brains. If "protect yourself at all times" is boxing's most vital rule to obey, surely the most devastating blow in the sport is the one you do see coming, the one you're simply helpless to escape its impact."
