Paq should not fight Spence especially after Spence put him on the spot tonight in front of a hometown crowd. Spence was trying to embarrass Manny and try and box him into a corner by giving the impression if Manny did not say yes Manny would of been labeled a coward. Manny should fight Thurman for several reasons. First Thurman is a bigger name and Thurman is better known than Spence as he has been the face of many PBC network fights, he will get more money for Thurman, and he has a much better chance of winning.
After the Thurman fight Manny should retire. Spence on the other hand instead of calling out smaller or older fighters and since the only real fight worth having for him at 147 is Crawford will not happen maybe he should move up and fight at 154lbs or make a leap at greatness like Mikey tried tonight and go after Alvarez. He would be paid an enormous amount of money, much more than fighting welterweights and it would be an excellent challenge for him. If Brook had the guts to challenge GGG then Spence should have the guts to challenge Canelo. Khan had the guts to go up and fight Canelo, don't tell me Khan is braver than Spence.
As for what type of credit Spence should get tonight he should get no more credit than Loma got for beating Rigo. Spence is a very good fighter, but he should not get the number 1 p4p spot based on beating Garcia. At least Loma admitted his win against Rigo was a good win, but not great since Loma was smaller than him. Spence should admit the same because Mikey may be a 135lb fighter, but he started his career at featherweight 5 weight classes lower! Mikey's size disadvantage tonight was obvious.
