    will Spence do what Canelo couldn't?

    we all watched Canelo fail miserably in his attempt to become a legit face of the sport by losing to old floyd mayweather.

    even though he clearly lost, they are still propping him up as best they can even though he failed where many of the greats in the past, and present, didnt.

    in recent years,
    fury beat wlad
    aj beat wlad
    teo beat loma
    and so on. not a lot of guys fail when they are put up against ancient fighters like floyd was but canelo managed it


    will Spence actually beat the old legend and became a real face of the sport and or will he fumble and drop the torch like canelo?

    I think so.

    Floyd was pass prime by then but wasn't fading in the 2nd half of fights like manny now does.

    I don't think manny hurts Spence bad early on where Spence is unable to win the fight in the 2nd half.

    I'd add

    Floyd more skilled than manny

    Alvarez more skilled than Errol

      Well spencer has alot on his side like Pacquiaos inactivity, age and size.

      Aside from the "weight drained" excuse it was all common grounds for froid-culero.

      Spencer definitely has a better chance than carnelo did.

        Last time manny fought a good young fighter the youngin won 4 or 5 rounds. And this was over 2 years ago

        manny has rusted & declined since

          If Spencer beats Pacquiao it won't be a big deal. Floyd beat him 6 years ago and Marquez knocked him out cold a lifetime ago.

                Yeah it be a big deal if manny doesn't win a single round

                or people write it off as manny being shot

                  I don't love boxing like I used to and only keep up with the star names these days [Fury, Joshua, Alvarez, Spence, manny, etc]

                    Lmao based on what? Spencer has a better jab, stamina, sets up his shots even as the aggressor whereas carnelo prefers to be the boxer and if his opponent doesn't create openings he wont bother to set traps or create an opening himself.

                    and considering when they fought carnelo wasn't "in his prime"
