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

[Silence]

Holmes would beat any version of Ali.
Norris could beat any version of Leonard.
Ugas would be problem for any version of Pac.
Ugas fought Pac just after the biceps surgery.

Pacquiao against Ugas was not as way past his prime as the comparisons he made with Holmes and Leonard, but good to know he knows some boxing history. Respect.

We're fans and we know some boxing history. Any boxer worth his salt should have taken the time to learn some history of his own sport.

The Spence eye injury & short notice hurt Pac more than Ugas. Pac was psyching up for a way different fighter then had to accept the new guy. In any case, Pacquiao is way above Spence, Crawford & the rest in history. He was flyweight champ in 1998 first--don't forget. Sorry Pac haters.

Pac grew old over night when Ugas put it on him. Pac gassed himself into thinking that his little past prime body could handle a young long lanky rangy fundamentally sound Spence.

I totally agree with the comparisons made by Spence. Spence had it planned to have the torch passed to him. Not such a punk move when you consider what Pac did to Thurman and his flute.

But Pac wasn’t active after the fact - he led the stationary gov’t life. It’s like a middle aged guy buying a motorcycle to convince himself and his wife that he’s physically capable of turning the clock back - but then he inevitably crashes, and is then fed soup by her.

Terry's ''chin'' always gave a guy a chance.
SRL was pretty ordinary above WW.

SRL did knock out Kalule or whatever that african's name was tho, who was lineal
Hagler may have retired but looking at that fight - SRL had his number imo. Norris was 154 but it's not like he was a big one either. Him and Leonard are probably the same size in the ring

Exactly (the bold)

SRL vs Hagler....pretty boring. A ton of tapping and slow pursuits.
Possibly the worst version of Hagler made it very close.
Hagler was already wearing silk PJs at the time.

Terry was very good and very vulnerable...usually at the same time.
I'd still give him a big chance at beating SRL.
SRL did not carry his power or skill set up with him.

In fact, IIRC, Terry said how he tried not to hurt SRL due to being a fan.

I don't really care about any of these guys but take it from me, Spence is going to damage Ugas
