will Spence do what Canelo couldn't?

[Roadblock]

spence is fighting manny at the full WW.. spence aint coming in handicap like canelo did against floyd...

That has so little to do with the question because ahead of that is how much was the 2lb handicap to a 154 guy compared to say 2lb to a small 147 guy like Cotto or drained like Oscar and LaLonde, there is a whole debate on what was the degree of handicap as not all CW hurt somebody that's why you cannot just call a CW without also telling the degree of effect, fans can be very flippant in what they blurt out sometimes.

Then you have Canelo has more boxing ability and harder punch than Spence but Floyd has more boxing ability than Manny, so their styles are so very different.

So much fine print that people step over.

not the same situation at all...Nelo was 23..Spence is in his 30's and Floyd was 38 and Manny is 42 going on 43

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.

As a Spence fan, but more importantly a boxing fan, I agree. I expect Spence to dominate Paquiao. But it's not about actual boxing fans, it's about the appeal to casual fans.

I can only hope the idiots on Boxingscene picking Paquiao to win, don't make excuses when he gets brutally beaten up.

I think Spence is oblivious to the magnitude of an event. He seems so nonchalant (high). Once the bell rings, it's all business. He will be fine and hopefully, retires Pac.

To them, it would be a shlt win because Pac is so old.
On the other hand, if Pac wins, it solidifies his so called ATG status.

Granted, Pac really shouldn't put up much of a fight being off for 2 years. Much credit for him going after Spence ( AFTER the Conor fight fell through).
