Comments Thread For: Spence: Pacquiao Would Fight Me, Arum Probably Won't Want It

He Is 39, It Is over. He achieved everything a fighter could possibly dream of and fought everyone of any Importance In his prime. What Is wrong with the farewell tour? Isn't Floyd doing the same thing with Berto and now with a guy who just got his boxing license last week?

A farewell tour while holding a major belt? Vargas was his berto. Horn is his worst fight in 10 years. He needs to fight someone legit or retire

he didnt go through 8 weight classes stop lying... He also didnt get 5 lineal titles... All lies and propoganda.... How do you win titles fighting at catchweights????

A boxer can win a title at a catchweight. Im not a fan of the practise but it is allowed.

He's not holding a title so there's nothing wrong. He's earned it. When people stop buying he will retire. I don't know his financial situation but if it's OK he should just quit.

Spence is the next pound for pound best boxer in the world and the future king of the welterweight division. In addition, he is contractually obligated to Al Haymon.

So what fun would Bob Arum have in doing that? What's in it for him? Errol Spence, Jr is no Timothy Bradley. It's not like Top Rank would receive future options and a contract extension on Errol Spence's next few fights, if he so chose to sign a contract for a Manny Pacquiao bout.

The bottom line is Bob would want something very substantial in return if said bout were to ever take place.

Two yrs off & fresh, Floyd lives clean & stays in shape (focused). My money is on Floyd. Have you ever even got in that ring (I have)? Sparring is where you put in the work. It's 1 reason I picked a late T.K.O. Errol over brooks (ended in a late K.O.).

I sure have and sparring doesn't mean **** In determining a winner In an actual boxing match. Obviously you don't know how this works. You don't get fresh at 40 yrs old after being out of the ring for two years.

You obviously don't know how it works. If you live clean & stay in shape you can. Ask Bernard Hopkins, Jerry Rice & Floyd Joy Mayweather. Maybe its YOUR 40 yr old body that cant.
