Where was Spence when Pacquiao was in his Prime?

[JJRod]

So only took him 7 years till Pacquiao was 40 to try and fight him.


Lomachenko was fast tracked out of the amateurs.

Was something holding Spence back?

Ask yourself this, would Pacquiao had bothered with Spence when he was unknown? Would Arum even contemplate a fight with Spence before Spence became the name he is today?

Even if we accept your ridiculous premise that Spence should have been fast tracked to superstardom, do you think if Spence challenged Pacquiao in 2012, Pac would have accepted? He would have skipped fights with Bradley, Marquez, Rios, all established stars at the time to fight a rookie in Spence?

7 years, 7 long years, and only now it decides to make a run for Pacquiao.

We all know he should be fighting Thruman and Crawford.
How many more years should we wait for those fights?

Sure fight someone like Pacquiao if he can't get those fights, but he should be calling out Crawford and Thurman, and if the politics don't work out at least he tried.

But he ain't even trying.

Spence need to up his game. 29 years old and still lacking a career defining fight.

LMAO. This is pathetic. Stop crying. If you don't think your boy can win, send him some fan mail begging him to retire.

Mayweather got beat up by Spence 5 years ago and ducked Spence, but nothing new there.

Do you think Pacquiao the best fighter out there for Spence to fight?

[D4thincarnation]

Pacquiao is still a top WW and the biggest star on PBC’s roster.

Is he the top Welter though?

Pacquiao is 9 years off his prime.

Do you think Spence would have beat Pacquiao 9 years ago, 8 years, 7 year, 6 year?

All of this and yet you couldn’t answer my question. So let me ask again?
If 7 years ago Spence had challenged Pacquiao, would Pacquiao have accepted the fight? Would Pacquiao have accepted a fight from a no name rookie?

No, but maybe 3 years ago, 4 years ago maybe.

[JJRod]

No, but maybe 3 years ago, 4 years ago maybe.

So if you acknowledge Pacquiao wouldn’t have known who Spence was let alone accepted the fight, wtf are you complaining about? And 4 years ago he fought Mayweather. Was Pac gonna pass mayweather for Spence?

You’re a joke

This thread deserves the old BM treatment.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
