Brook beat them.

Pac of 5 years ago, probably. Pac today, not likely.

As far as a style match-up goes, I see Pac doing better against Spence than he would Crawford. Spence is more plodding and moves forward with little side to side movement if any. He is hittable. Problem for Pac is, Spence is a hitter and a great finisher. He could take Pac's power, and keep moving forward. If this were the Pac who tuned up Cotto and Margarito, Spence would not stand a chance. But Pac in 2019 is not as dangerous.

Pac really has nothing else to prove and a fight with Spence, Crawford, and Thurman would just be icing on the cake to his legendary career. At this point though I'm still not sure how he does against Spence, will have to see how he looks against Mikey Garcia.
In his prime Pac would have easily beat Spence. Right now it's 50/50 for but it wouldn't surprise me if Pac at this age manages to beat Spence.

Spence beat Algieri doe.

Even at 40, Manny would be the toughest opponent Spence would face.

Spence is sharp, has decent power and can work inside well but defensively he is flawed.

Beating Brook and Peterson does not mean you steam roll a guy with Manny's pedigree.

Honestly, Pacquaio's matchmaking has been very smart since the Marquez KO. If he'd have fought a skilled welterweight puncher since then I think he'd have been beaten badly. He's been damaged goods since then but he's hid it well. Can't blame him for stretching out what he can and making his money but his fans have fallen for it because they've wanted to.

Spence would have him in a shell early if he doesn't KO him he beats him very wide on points. Crawford would take him apart too.

Although Mattysse & Broner are flawed, they can both crack. Imo broners at his best when he counter punches & couldn't get off. Manny just isn't there for the counter anymore. Taking a step back has really prolonged his career.

The more Manny wins the greater Marquez win looks.

no more head snapping back. been 2 fights back 2 back. i know it was against past/decline fighters but pac's head was snapping back in the horn fight so this is why i gotta go with pac's a lil less wreckless now.

Id like to see Pac vs Thurman first and see how he does. If he beats thurman and looks good, he should fight Spence vs Mikey winner
next. my two cents

[RuleOfTheSpear]

tbh Mikey will beat him first.

then it becomes Mikey vs Manny July 15

if he beat thruman then i wouldnt push for the spence fight. that's too much. if manny fight spence first and beat him then i wouldnt be calling for a thurman fight after either. these 2 guys are big ww. im ok with pac just fighting 1 of them then go for a smaller ww like danny or mikey.
