will Spence do what Canelo couldn't?

[Nash out]

I love Mayweather, but the version of Canelo he beat, is nowhere near the Canelo of today. Canelo is by far and away the best Mexican fighter of all time. Nash out - boxing expert.

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?

Canelo was 22 when he lost to floyd who was 36

Spence is almost 30 and pac is gonna be 43

[Left Hook Tua]

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

Manny now is 7 yrs older than floyd was during canelo fight

Floyd style is also less taxing on the stamina than mannys style

Pacquiao wouldn't fight Canelo but he will fight Spence. That says a lot.

Hah that margarito fight left manny with trauma

he won’t venture beyond 147 after that

[Roadblock]

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.

The inactivity is a benefit at his age, Manny doesn't need a lot of fights to stay sharp, he needs smarter not harder training its harder on his body now and it will peak differently.

I agree Spence has a better shot because he is not against a fleet-footed defensive genius but a guy that will exchange, Manny may actually turn into a Floyd in this fight because speed and movement is his advantage, and he has the ability to shut Spence out if he can keep away racking up points for 12 rounds..

Mayweather wasn't 42 gong on 43

Let hope manny doesnt age overnight and is completely shot on fight night

No flyweight would venture above 130 lbs but pac tried his luck at 154lbs and he did win in a brutal fashion.
