Comments Thread For: Spence: Ugas-Pacquiao Was Like Larry Holmes Fighting Ali, Terry Norris Beating Up Leonard

[GhostofDempsey]

Well, Spence conveniently pulled out of that fight while he was having a rough training camp. The fight itself was very close. Pac threw twice as many punches as Ugas (over 800), and tuned up his face pretty good. I wouldn't call this anything close to Ali/Holmes. Spence needs to stay sober and stop flipping Lambos and worry about the fight in front of him. He'll never see Pacquiao's success no matter who he fights.

He is spot on for his comparisons to a washed up Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray and Manny Pacquiao. Those legends were well past their primes and were mere shadows of their former selves when they got whooped by much younger and fresher opponents.

For the exception of Muhammad Ali; Who knew he was old because he came out of retirement to challenge Holmes. He only took the fight for the money. However, both Leonard and Pacquiao needed some convincing to realize that they were all of sudden washed up and old.

Not quite the level of those fighters pacquaio wasn’t as diminished as leonard and Ali were. Ugas gonna surprise people

[Code Red]

Spence is right, those fights are good comparison to passed prime fighters

[Code Red]

I wander how he would think. If it was him the one that fought pacquio.

He said what he's thinks, that it would of been a passing of the torch

PAC was 70 fights into career against ugas and older than Ali and SRL. But PAC was still at a higher level than Ali and SRL, that's a testament to PACs greatness.
Pac was favourite, was SRL against Norris?

And still made it a close fight,

Now their acting like it was a blowout against an almost 43 year old fighter who was coming back after being out for more than 2 years, then reopening camp without any extension in time and having to then re start sparing for another fighter with a opposite stance/style.

Fair to say Spencer got some brain damage from the accident. Then again he was never really smart to begin with

What a JOKE.

Don't understand all the negative comments. First anyone from 140 to 154 would have taken the Pac fight if it was offered over anyone else. Second until that fight a lot of people thought Pac was ageless and could pull another win, especially Spence coming off that accident with a long layoff. Third it is true of the other fighters, Holmes turned out to be a long reigning HW champ and Terry Norris did very well at 154, they were not B level fighters.

Who knew that Pac legs were not going to be there in his last fight, it was coming sooner or later.

I agree. I scored it a draw. Pacquiao could have got the decision.
