Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Not Ruling Out a Pacquiao Upset Win Over Errol Spence

[HrNY]

I actually think it's the opposite.

Pacquiao's movement can give Spence trouble like Mike Tyson says. So I could see Errol losing rounds early as he tries to solve that puzzle and pin Pacquiao down.

As the fight goes on age should play a factor and Pac might lose steam in the later rounds. It's just a matter of whether Spence can win back the rounds he lost or even get a stoppage at that point.

But because of the car wreck there are questions about the state of Errol's fitness and ability too. Is he completely recovered or are there issues that will come out under pressure testing?

It's a very intriguing fight.

homie just took on and made it look easy against one of the top welterweights, dude fully healed and good to go

Bruh...Danny Garcia threw 10 punches in the entire fight..and seven of em were jabs...LOL...Spence is going down bro

yeah, Spence isn’t durable enough yet you’ve never seen him hurt or stopped, so what are you basing that on? The Cotto comparison is terrible because he was weight drained at 145, didn’t have a real trainer for that fight and was 2 fights removed from being beaten with plaster. Pac never faced anyone that had the combo of size, power, strength, stamina and skill that Spence has. Prime pac struggles with Spence and this old version of pac is getting punished.

You’ve never seen Spence hurt?

I agree with those that say PRIME Pac would beat Spence. I think that would be a complete massacre with it ending in a brutal knockout after Spence gives effort and heart in an attempt to fight back hard to no avail. The guy would fight hard but he'd still get KO'd.

Pacquiao destroyed bigger better and legends HOFers in his prime. Spence is pushing 32yo and is definitely not legendary or even HOF material. So yes most people who are color blind and with a brain would go with Pacquiao in his prime against spence. Unfortunately jab jab boom bases his opinions on the color of a man's skin. Therefore his opinion is trash

Lol. Do u really think a 2 pound diff will change the outcome of the fight. Spence is better than cotto? Ok man, whatever. Spence is a weight bully. Cotto came up in weight. Also pac. Spence iss sloowwww but im still with him on this one because of youth. But pac isv is very capable of a W.

I said that the catch weight combined with Cotto not having an actual trainer and also combined with being only 2 fights removed from being beaten with plaster played a role in how that fight played out. They were all factors including the catchweight. If the catchweight was no big deal, pac wouldn’t have insisted on having it now would he ? So yes, a prime version of Spence is better and more dangerous than that version of Cotto was. Pac arguably faced the worst version of Cotto that existed during his pro career based on all the factors I mentioned above.

[Ropeydope]

I’m with Iron Mike on this. The odds are looking good for putting a little wager on PAC for the W. People are too quick to write him off as they did in his last fight. Errol doesn’t have one punch power he punches long, even leaning forward on occasion. PAC will exploit that if he does it, using his feet to get inside and beat him up. If Spence wins it will be by a thin margin, coming back from an early deficit, not a 12 round drubbing that many are predicting.

I always felt prime Spence would have destroyed Danny Garcia. Spence after the car wreck merely won a decision.

So to me the question still lingers: is Spence back to the form he had before the accident? Or is that version of Spence gone forever?

so once again, if Manny wins, then no credit since it's a Spence that is gone forever

No, full credit to old man Pac if he can win.

I'm just explaining why I think Pac is a very live underdog in this fight.
