Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: I Need To Have Stamina For Spence, Ensure I Don't Fall Short

Bingo! He hit the hammer on the head and it's something that I've been saying all along. This fight is coming down to conditioning.

Can the 42 year old legend match the stamina, workrate, punch output and cardio conditioning of the much younger Erroll Spence,Jr? If he can then he has a very good chance of winning but if not, then he could end up in some serious trouble.

If Manny gasses in this fight, then he won't get a second wind because Spence would be all over him. At that point, Pac may get stopped. That's why he has to a become a Bernard Hopkins and pace himself in this fight and not shoot his load too soon and too early.

Same. been saying it as well. If he fades like in the thurman fight, spence is going to put a beating on him.

Did team. Spence give PAC the green light on using pens? Thurman did and look what happened. At least PAC is trying to be half honest (upfront) of using pets for this test. Mayweather do what mayweather wants to. PAC DOES WHAT HE WANTS TO DO,take it or leave it! Spence going for this opportunity.

Manny better find a way to get on the inside and create angles for hard body punches to slow Spence down and drop his hands. Tough fight for Manny.

Will Pac continue to beat the new elite class? Or will the young star defeat the old lion ?

Back on that Lance Armstrong strength and conditioning routine?

It's a step too far manny. Spence's jab will soften pacquiao up and in the later rounds he'll land hurtful shots maybe forcing roach to stop it.
Hope I'm wrong though. Would love to see manny do it

Yes you must have stamina to fight Duterte lols...

Pacquiao is in a world of trouble. He thinks his speed will overwhelm Spence. He's dead wrong. Spence is going to keep distance in the early fight, use his great jab and length, then break the old Pacquiao down in the later rounds. I see a corner stoppage rounds 8-10.

While I think you are right pac could be in trouble in this fight i don't think he gets stopped Spence isn't a murderous puncher I just seen him dominating down the stretch and winning on points

When I think of this fight, I think about the fight manny had against cotto. Pacman is taking this fight very serious, add this to spence's struggles in making welterweight and the odds become closer.
Not a bad idea to put some money down on Manny.

That fight was 12 years ago and Manny was in his prime. I think the weight is being overblown with Spence. He seems to have done a good job keeping his weight down in between fights post car accident.

A near death experience likely caused him to make some lifestyle changes.

pac really wants to give everyone a riddle about his stamina.. but in the fight night he'll bulldoze spence like a tank.. nothing new here.. but these spence fans act like they never heard of it before.
