    Spence would've hurt the version of Manny that showed up last Saturday. Manny without his legs becomes a MUCH easier target. That's no knock on Ugas performance at all, he fought the right fight, but Manny's feet have always been a weapon for him to mask the vulnerabilities he's always had throughout his career. He's 42 years old and over 2 years inactive from the Sport. In hindsight his performance shouldn't be THAT surprising. It's just that Manny has always been put on a pedestal where we expect so much from him, even from his skeptics. Manny in a whole is done and I hope he doesn't continue on because I see it only getting worse for him.

Not saying Ugas is better then Spence, but when you train and game plan for a certain fighter and then it gets changed, it will 100% mess with your mind. And I'm not even a Pac fan, just stating facts.
      Not disagreeing with anything you've said. However fights are not won on paper, they are won in the ring. All it takes is one shot to turn the fight in one persons favor. Don't know if the attributes of Ugas played a major part in Pac not being able to get inside, but would Spence have been just as successful as Ugas? Questions like those can't be answered. Spence of course is a top level fighter and he may have washed the floor with that version of Pac on that night. Just saying, there is a possibility that Spence's style could impact a different result then the Ugas fight.

        I for one am glad he was spared a possible beat down.

        Hope Pac realizes there are less riskier fights at 140.

        Tank, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo are more suited for him.
