I 100% concur with everything you just put.Pacquiao sometimes feels sorry for guys he is beating the **** out and doesn't go all out for the kill. Spence has no mercy and a highly developed killer instinct. He is a great finisher with fast, hard accurate punches and a master body puncher. Spence is 26 years old so he isn't a growing boy. He is a fully grown powerful man. He very well may continue fighting as a welterweight for years. As long as he makes weight he is doing nothing wrong. I'm a big Spence fan and don't think anybody in his weight class is going to beat him.Comment

If Pacquiao was 4 inches taller which is what I think the height difference roughly is between him and Spence than I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have that hard of a time simply walking Algieri down like Spence did. Truth is Spence didn't cut off the ring the way some say he did. He simply had Algieri vastly outgunned and decided he could just simply chase after him. Manny is not the best example of cutting off the ring but if he tried to do what Spence did last week where he really just threw caution to the wind than he would have been getting tagged by Algieri pretty often because there is a huge height and reach difference that Spence didn't have to deal with. It's like Spence going against some that is say 6'2". I don't care if he is feather fisted or not he is going to have spend more time actually working his way in because he is going against someone much taller than him and he has to find a way to close that distance before throwing.
I can guarantee the first time Spence goes against either someone with a decent size advantage over him or with some good footwork you will see if he has flaws trying to cut the ring off. He hasn't had to cut the ring of yet so I'm not going to say whether he can or can't...just that he hasn't shown it against a live body.Last edited by Tails; 04-21-2016, 11:01 PM.Comment

how did Pac knocked algierri 5 times if he don't know how to cut the ring off?Whatever happened in the Spence-Algieri fight doesn't change what happened in the Pacquiao-Algieri fight and the reason Pacquiao didn't stop him. He didn't cut off the ring.
Experts and fans have been saying Pacquiao couldn't cut off the ring way before he fought Algieri, it's not a new thing, it's one of his flaws.
algierri was running all night.Comment

use some critical thinking. Pacquiao was scoring knockdowns from timing Algieri with his left hand. Most of them came in the middle of the ring. The problem is that after Algieri got up, Pacquiao couldn't track him down to finish him off.
Look at Sugar Ray Leonard vs Thomas Hearns. As soon as Leonard had Hearns hurt, he cut the ring on him, and unleashed a well placed combination to finish him off on the ropes. He didn't allow Hearns to just circle away and recover.Comment

Not really according to Freddie Roach and he would know .

The size difference is what everyone is talking about. Manny is mature. He’s a much bigger person than he used to be. He’s not that skinny, 112-pound kid anymore. He weighs 152 pounds right now [a few weeks before the fight]. His body fat is six percent. He’s coming down to 147, not going up. He’s coming down, just like Oscar is. The biggest thing is, when someone goes up a weight class and fights and then comes back down to his original weight class, he usually has bad results. You see it in history. It happened to Roy Jones [who went from light heavyweight to heavyweight and back down]. Oscar will suffer to make 147; and I think he’ll be weaker as a result. I don’t think the bigger guy will be the stronger guy on Dec. 6. He’ll be taller, maybe a little heavier, but not stronger. Manny will be the bigger puncher, the faster puncher, the busier guy. Activity is my biggest thing. And Manny is better prepared for that. We fought four times this year. Oscar hasn’t fought four times in four years. I think speed and activity wins this fight, not size.Comment

Algieri ran from Manny all night and still was knocked down six times. He tried to exchange with Spence.
Simple as that.Comment
