    Going toe to toe also doesn’t mean not paying attention to defense.

      I agree completely.... my point is styles make fights and comparing Spence and May is like apples and oranges. They are totally different. I agree Spence could learn from May and May could probably learn something from Spence but for Pac to say Spence is a better fighter than May is ridiculous. Just because Spence will stand in the pocket and fight and May prefers to move constantly doesnt mean Spence is better.

          Floyd will enlighten Spence about illegal IV's and retroactive TUE's.

            My thoughts exactly but, something probably got lost in translation as they say... unless Manny is expecting to get knocked out?!

              Basically saying the crowd doesn't want to see hugging on the inside every round. Let's fight toe to toe instead cause this could be his last fight. Also if Spence vs Mayweather exhibition next Pac would put money on Spencer.

                As a long-time boxing fan, I don't mind paying for watching a good fight. I do mind paying to see a boxing match and instead I'm forced to watch a footrace/grappling match as was the case with Mayweather/Pac. Jab, jab, run, run, tie up, ref break, repeat for 12 rounds is tedious, not enjoyable. It really robs the fighter with superior chops and conditioning from putting on a good show and robs the audience from seeing one. It's like watching a couple of MMA grapplers and that's where that type of strategy belongs. Championship fights are supposed to be 12 rounds of boxing, 3 minute rounds, not 30-45 seconds of boxing each round.

                    lol Sure Kid.

                    I know it hurts seeing factual evidence I bring out.

                    Picture paints a thousand words.

                    This ONE says a lot.

                      Well said. I agree. It spoils everything that makes boxing great.

                      The game in it's essence is about. Hit and not get hit. It's not about Hit and grab for dear life.
