      as far as floyd....well...floyd may be tanks "promoter" and all that...but haymon really calls the shots imo....hes the one that really knows how to move the fighter.....floyds involved but i think hes more of a mouthpiece since haymon doesnt talk to the press...and floyd lending his name to tank doesnt hurt tanks profile....but its haymon really running tank and haymon has shown he knows what hes doing
      I am more of a Spence fan as well, I would definitely be pulling for him, but I think you're right, it's 50/50, I can't wait to see Spence vs PacMan live, gonna be a fun event. Floyd just knows what it takes to bring in the big bucks, I remember when he was with Arum and left and now look at him, I'm not a fan of his, but I will give the dude credit, he knows people will watch no matter what he does and he's right, I think Haymon calls the shots, but I think he listens to Floyd about what will make money

        thats awesome that youre going! i saw pac fight live twice in 09...went out for the hatton and cotto fights(still have my tix stubs)....was a blast...atmosphere was amazing both times

        ive always loved floyd...especially when he turned into "money"....i loved watching him get under peoples skin and knowing the whole time he was still training like he was broke and every opponent, even if he knew was a level or several below him, was trying to take money off his plate

        anyways.....have a blast!

          Nah

          Manny doesn't have a conventional style and is use to weird angles anyway

          The southpaw style actually might bother Spence more

          Hes more upright and conventional and doesnt move as well

                Labored down the stretch vs Danny Garcia. If you actually watched the fight, Garcia was wacking Spence in the late rounds,. Spence had zero stamina and was running.

                Dude throws some basic ass combinations and telegraphs everything. That's why he can't get any knockouts lately. Throws the same punches.

                How embarassing would it be for a 42 year old man with a 2 year layoff were to beat you.

                If he can't beat Pacquiao, his ass needs to hang it up.
                So by your 'logic' if Spence is the most overrated boxer today but he beats Packy then what does that make Packy? You need to keep away from those street corner durgs.

                  Chris Algieri (former champion)
                  Leonard Bundu (title eliminator)
                  Kell Brook (reigning champion)

                  Carlos Ocambo (mandatory)
                  Mikey Garcia (four division world champion)
                  Shawn Porter (2X and reigning champion, unification fight)
                  Danny Garcia (2 division champion)
                  Manny Pacquiao (7 division champion)

                  spoon going to blow a gasket you subtracted out mannys catchweight 8th title

                    everyone looks bad against porter and he aint being stopped anytime soon. it would take an elite welter like a thomas hearns or something before i could see porter getting stopped

                      Anything the OP says, the opposite goes. Always.

                      Spence is a top, top fighter. Elite.
