    But, Lattimore after 6rds was tired. And, in reality on diss to Lattimore he was not top 10. Spinks should of won that fight going away. If Spinks was still top level he shouldn't of struggled with a green Lattimore like that. And, when Lattimore was fresh he was winning he ran out of gas and Spinks started taken over. Spinks is getting older. I think Foreman beats Spinks if they fight. He is the fresher guy faster guy. Spinks has too many miles on him. His legs are not there anymore. Style wise I think Pac will have a harder time with Foreman than with Spinks. This is not the same spinks who beat Mayorga.

      Spinks also got dropped by Latimore if my memory serves me.

        He got dropped he hurt,stunned, he got cut by Lattimore. Early Lattimore was winning then he got tired and that is when Spinks and his experience started taking over. And, it was a close fight.

            Yes so I don't know if he is better than Foreman. I think Foreman with his movement would give Pac more trouble than what Spinks will. Spinks is getting old he don't have the legs anymore he stays in the pocket too much now. And, he doesn't have the power to disrupt Pac and his chin is not granite.

              Thats pretty much what im seeing. Foreman is also pretty disciplined at keeping the fight at long range.

                    It seems to me as though IF Pac fights Foreman at 154, it is ultimate cherry picking to obtain an 8th belt. It is incongrous to everything Pac and Pac fans say he stands for...fighting the best and taking all challengers...

                    Pac fans cannot be happy about this.


                    *This thread is completly hypothetical, as we do not officially know if this fight will happen or what weight it will happen at.

                    Your Idiocrazy Logic is very ******ed!

                      Oscar had to make the fight at 147 to add some kind of legitimacy and interest to the fight. People already thought Pacquiao was gonna lose, at 154 they would of expected annihilation. The Boxing public were already critical of the fight when it was at 147.

                      DLH holds all the card in negotiations not matter who it is, so ultimately its down to what DLH prefers to do.

                      And still Pac didnt have full credit because DLH camp mess up bigtime in their preparations(Nutritionist,Trainer etc).

                      DLH called the shots from day 1. only the purse split were being discussed. BOOM DLH came in at 145

                      it would been a better match if DLH were around 155. at least he would offer some resistance.

                      Pacquiao can only beat up what's in front of him. so id say he deserved 75% credit for that bout.
