Originally posted by pillowfists98 View PostI think he could. Pac is 40 years old like Stevenson and Spence isn't a one punch ko guy, he would beat Pac down consistently over the course of many rounds which is worse from a brain health standpoint. Nothing Pac did against bum Broner who threw no punches tells me he could handle Spence.

And do you really believe that Spence would easily and consistently give Pac a beating? Pac's ring IQ, defense, and movement would not let Spence give him that kind of punishment. You're really underselling Pacquiao's ability.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostNo, but Mikey is likely done as a welterweight. Pacquaio is 40 and far removed from his best days. He's still better than the majority of the world but he'd lose to the elite welterweights that are in their prime. Only nuthhuggers would disagree. I've personally felt Pacquaio has been an utter shell of his former self since that KO and he's navigated his career well since. I give him credit for sticking around and making money but don't and won't give anyone much credit who's beaten him since then. That KO was brutal and he's slowed noticeably.

This is something I don't understand. People have been really selling Pac short over and over again, to the point that people think that he would be consistently beat down by the "top" WW. It's not like as if he's been systematically taken apart or KO'd by B-level opponents. He's still fighting at a high level and happens to have good longevity. Even when his speed and power have faded he still gives younger fighters a tough fight.
I think it started after the Horn "loss" which a good majority of people still had Pac winning. I just don't understand where people are getting this idea that Pac would just be easily obliterate by anyone.Last edited by Flo_Raiden; 01-24-2019, 04:00 PM.

They can't see what is right in front of them. Pac is a wiseman in the ring. A ring savy vet who still has some left and an ATG.
The disrespect is funny actually. They can't see he might even embarrass this young lions.
The real question here is.. Will Spence, Thurman, Porter and the others be able to dance with Pacquiao and win? The answer to that is a a question mark as well.. It's not cut and dry.

If he beats Spence it doesn't mean he's prime still either. The wear and tear and loss of sharpness, reflexes and explosiveness is so incredibly clear to see.
