Comments Thread For: Spence Not Interested in Fighting Pacquiao, Compares it To Holmes Beatdown of Ali

[BLASTER1]

Pacman got battered by pillow fist Ugas. Ugas is a great boxer but he left Pacman with a disfigured face. Spence would kill him.

Chisora was 38 and Fury 34 which is way better that a 44 year old Pacman getting beat down by a much bigger and younger man.

Besides that Chisora is a natty heavyweight who is always in brawls. Pacman went up a crap ton of weight classes fighting bigger men that him.

Yet now he's going to be fighting Pacmans left overs in Thurman.

Spence wouldn't beat up Pacquiao as bad as people think. Pacquiao wouldn't be standing there letting Spence hit him to the body and wear him down. I do think that he would beat Pacquiao in the fight. Spence is good but he isn't that good. If he was that good, then he should have fought Crawford already. Spence is a ducker.

Glad to hear Spence has some character! I hope Manny stays retired! We don't need to see another Ali or Tommy Hearns!

[Manic Shot]

Probably more like Foreman vs Moorer .

Manny looked bad with Ugas and he has improved lol, and Spence ducked, yet Bud walked away, I swear the intelligence of some people in here is Donkey level.

Pacquiao vs Crawford next summer on BLK PPV

Yeah No Thank You and that is out of the utmost Respect to Pacquiao who is an absolute ICON and one of the GOATS but come on it is nothing to prove vs this Current Crop

I think Exhibitions and maybe keep pushing for the Mayweather rematch overseas is more realistic but no I don't want to see him vs these Younger Guys and I think it would be really CHEAP for a Current Fight or Prospect/Rising Contender to try and make a name for themselves off of a Old Pacquiao and no it is not going to somehow make you a Bigger Star

Ali vs Holmes was before my time but Terry Norris vs Ray Leonard is one I can remember in my Lifetime, that was a very sad fight to watch and I did not even like Ray Leonard (Hagler Fan! RIP Marvelous) but even I felt off seeing Ray go down like that

These Current guys need to focus on each other anyway, it is so many options at 147 for all these guys, fight each other instead build up your own legacy

I'm becoming a big Spence fan cause man Ive been sayin this for a while. Larry Holmes was the scariest HW. He had fast hands. He could POP!!! He had a granite chin and he had possibly best jab of all time, and by a couple levels above the second best even. But he was scary because of his Iron F'ing will to win!!!! (watch that Norton fight - (Norton my favorite fighter and avatar who in reality beat Ali 3x)) And Holmes had what it took to defeat ALL of the old guard and probably ALL of them at their primes. Yeah the guy could defeat peak Ali...., and Foreman, and Frazier. Larry wasnt eloquent (the main reason most worshiped Ali), or reverant or even the slightest bit humble, and he could do some taunting and ass kicking. He was the new beast you didnt want to accept because your pantheon of heroes was already locked in stone. And he was kicking them to the curb (so haters wrote him out of his deserved history to this very day) As that rare Ali lover who is objective, (I wanna romance the myth too I really do but.....) Best analogy I can think of here, I love Bobby Fischer. Worship the guy, but I'm scared for him if he faces Anatoly Karpov in 1974. Larry in his prime was that dude who's gonna beat your hero. And when he was in his prime, he has a very good chance to defeat your hero in their prime. This sucks, so many people hated him, but there he is...
And he didn't need a Godamn tuneup first. Now get off my lawn.



(for the cubancapablancaguy, whatever your handle is, he is Ali's Alekhine.)

This wussy pulled out of the fight cos everybody saw he had a bad camp and was getting his *ss whooped by a midget in sparring.
