Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Pacquiao Has The Mental Edge in Spence Title Fight

[FinlandsFinest]

You guys can't see what Hopkin's sees in Manny. Manny is special. Granted he's older now, but what makes him cut above the rest is explained in his full interview here that this thread came from. Speed kills. It's not only his hands, his feet as well. Even at the age of 42 he still is faster than Errol.

That's a pro talking.

@ 2:30 mark.

He may be a pro, but I hear pro-boxers talk a lot of sh,it all the time, trainers too, especially guys like Freddie Roach hes always saying some crazy stuff, Fury is always betting against AJ "breaking it down" as to why and how he will lose, these guys just talk and probably dont mean it, or they ironically just really suck at predicting the sport they are involved with. The hardcore fans are the same way, always trying to be that cool "in the know" guy talking about how Billy Hoe will outbox Canelo and how crafty Pulev is for AJ and now they talking about how dangerous the no power having Usyk is to AJ.

So I got Spence winning the fight no matter what the experts got to say, maybe if this happened a decade earlier Manny would have a bigger chance, but even then Spence is HUGE, that boy is like a middleweight, hes taller than Canelo!

Granted, if Manny pulls it off, thats a GOAT win and i'll come on here and say look, for the second time ever I made a wrong prediction on a fight. (First one was Wilder Fury 2)

I'm just stating what you guys can't seem to see what makes Manny special. That said, this is a 50/50 fight or even more inclined to say 55/45 for Spence, but don't count Manny out. That's what Bernard is saying. Manny is a special breed of man comes once in a lifetime. To some up what Bernard is saying. That speed that Manny posses is a trump card that can turn any tide. That's all I'm saying.

You routing for Spence to win is your choice. That's okay.
