[Nightfall]

can't wait for this one.

Margarito had been knocked out by Mosley and Mosley had just been beaten pillar to post by Mayweather.

Stop revising history.

check urself Bro - ur previous post about the fighters u mentioned all coming off L’s was TOTALLY INACCURATE!! Sorry if being corrected rattles u. And Mosley being beaten pillar to post by Floyd?? Laughable- nobody who actually saw that fight would describe it like that . Furys beatdown of Wilder in the 2nd is being beat pillar to post.

While in hindsight Oscar shouldn't have fought at 147 in 2008, that was NOT a catchweight. That's an actual welterweight limit. The Cotto fight was at a catchweight of 145, the Margarito fight was at a catchweight of 150.

I wouldn't call Manny Pacquiao a cherrypicker, that's a massive stretch. I can't think of ANY other fighter with a more impressive line-up that he went through between mid 2008 to late 2012.

Diaz-De la Hoya-Hatton-Cotto-Clottey-Margarito-Mosley-Marquez III-Bradley-Marquez IV...the first four of those got LIT UP. The following two got practically shut out in Arlington.

It wasn't just the fact that he fought all of them, he beat them all...one after the other...and in that first half of fighters perhaps lost at most 6 rounds.

The strikes I would make against Manny is that he fought Cotto at 145 but then let Clottey fight comfortably at 147 a mere four months later. Cotto would've still lost, but that itty bitty detail irks me a little. The Margarito fight bothers me a little because they bent over backwards to make Pacquiao an eight division world champion by beating Margarito who was previously unranked at a weight class of 150, which is closer to 147 than 154.

But overall, it's grasping at straws. Because most people in their right mind would've picked Pacquiao against anybody from 135-147 in those years.

In regards to this topic, Pacquiao beat Thurman, but I think Thurman's lost an edge and I was never high on him to be honest. Pacquiao is still good enough I think to be a top 10 fighter but I believe Spence will outwork him late in the fight. I think Roach and Pacquiao believe there's something there to be exploited after the car accident but the Garcia fight dispelled that.

It's insane for Pacquiao to be going after Spence. This will be the first PPV I'm going to be ordering since...I can't even remember. This will either be Pacquiao's last hurrah before he bows out in grace, or Spence does to Pacquiao what Pacquiao did to De la Hoya. I'm intrigued.

Wow...Errol Spence is not a killer like that...LOL...don't get me wrong I love the kid but he's not a ruthless killer like that....maybe at the bar but not in the ring.

Whatever the result, Pacquiao retires with a more impressive record and legacy. So Spence will need to take what he can get and make the most of fighting an old Pacquiao.
Spence is expected to win and win impressively. That's what supposed to do in his position at his age. Pacquiao is off to well earned retirement, Spence has work to do after this.
No talk, all action. Get it done man.

Whatever the result? Already with the whitewashing. Not if he gets put to sleep again like JMM did to him. I'd say the legacy goes lower the more he fights, the man can't stop cherry picking. Already got his ass whooped blow for blow with Horn, this is gonna be fun and one sided. All the ATG talk up in smoke. End the celebration whitewashed. mediocrity Spence! Let's Go!!!

If history tells us anything its that spencer doesnt look so good when hes doing drug testing?

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Bet all your money on Spence. It seems come fight night, people will bet scared and put their money on Spence. Better now that the odds aren't that bloated.

[Walexhris]

If Pacman had his way, he'd pick Conor not Spence....but Conor lost bad & the fight didn't make as much sense as it once did
The truth is they all want to be Floyd, Manny included

If Manny wins, Manny is the greatest boxer ever, if Spence wins.....well, Manny was old, pac fans wanting to eat their cakes & have it.
& If Spence decided not to fight Manny because of the aforementioned reasons, then Spence is a duck.......so whichever way, spence loses

[blowblow]

spence will be in trouble if there's a vada testing.. odds will be changing dramatically soon.

If anything I would bet that Pac catches Spence and KO's him at some point....but listen....there's not going to be any knockouts in this fight...however I do feel Pac will edge Spence on points in a decision victory

You are dumber than a piece of wood.

It will be virtually impossible for Pac to win on points barring multiple KDs. Pac is 42 years old and this may very well be his final fight. Meanwhile Spence is 31 years old and, if he beats Manny, has a high profile career for the next 3-6 years as a professional. Haymon will put all his leverage into Spence win because its simply good for business. Plus Spence is black and Haymon prefers blacks.

Haymon got Wilder a draw in 1st Fury fight, Haymon had Jermell Charlo even with Harrison in 2nd fight (Harrison was way ahead), Haymon had Broner beat Santiago (not even really possible), Haymon had Wilder ahead against Luis Ortiz (Wilder was being son'ed). You better believe Spence needs only to finish the fight on his feet to win.

Manny KO is extremely unlikely but its his only chance

Spencer fights absolutely NOTHING like JMM. Errald needed dozens of low blows to escape Porter, was buzzed against Danny Garcia, and couldn't hurt Lightweight 135lb Mikey Garcia...yet Sponsor supposed to run through Pac ?

Only wat Spence stops Pac is if Manny fights like he's 43 years old...which he is. Spencer is a lil bitch for ducking Crawford alll these years. Tail covering his swollen vagina
