Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on Spence: Why Not? We'll Give Fans a Good Fight

[rickJen]

Pacquaio can't just fight anybody when he's being guaranteed tens of millions of dollars.
He can't just fight Berto-level opponents or MMA fighters.
Golovkin should be doing the same thing if DAZN is paying him tens of millions of dollars.
Otherwise, it's shameless.
Golovkin should retire and stop duping fans into believing showcase garbage fights are entertaining to them.
If you want showcase fights vs nobodies, you should be getting something like $300K.

I don’t want to see Manny fight Spence and retire like that. Spence will be all over his body midway through the fight, and then upstairs with some hellacious shots. Manny’s best chance is using his speed and creating a bunch of different angles to throw off the timing of Spence. Can he do it for 12 rounds at his age is the question. Does he have enough power to hurt Spence at his age now. I haven’t seen Spence seriously hurt yet.

And people really underestimate how tough Mikey Garcia is and how durable his chin is. He really impressed me last night with how tough he is. Not sure Manny takes those same shots well to the body and head. And Spence is no Jeff Horn or Adrian Broner or Lucas Matthysse. Manny has 1 stop in almost 9 ears too. Don’t take this fight Manny.

And do the fight in some local bar televised on a local tv station in Kazakhstan.

Pac should retire. I do not want to see this fight. Spence would dominate him that's not cool at this stage. I wish Thurman or Porters pussie ass had as much heart as Pacquiao to go in the ring after a Spence win. Remember how Thurman and Porter did that to Danny Garcia? Couldn't wait to fight him.

With Spence these dudes is straight bytches. They both need to give their belts up like the hoes they are. I hope Pacquiao retires so the younger fighters have to build their own legacy without Pac in it.

I like how they tricked Pac into signing with PBC using the Floyd fight as bait when the plan all along was for Spence to **** him up. They used Floyd to bait Khan as well.

You like..haha

Floyd said.
"I think the best fight for Pacquiao.... I told Al Haymon that the best fight for Pacquiao is probably the Adrien Broner fight. And then we got Errol Spence. They are talking about Spence or Crawford.

"We are not doing that [rematch] right now. We have to let that fight build and then down the line let that fight happen."

I dont think Manny will take it, I know Spence will and I want to see if all the Manny Roach talk prior will get the fight made, I see Manny going elsewhere Errol will beat the sht out him, after the intial yeah ok Manny looked really weird and just took off.

I will be surprised if Manny fights Spence.

You counting Manny out already? not taking away anything from Spence, but the last night fight did not show anything. In fact, all I saw Spence imposing his size and reach advantage from a guy came up two weight classes. I think Garcia was more surprised on how strong an actual welter and that's why he shelled up too much and did not mixed it up with Spence.

also, all Garcia did was either moved forward or backwards and thats the main reason Spence's reach was so effective.

If Pacquiao ever fight Specnce, it'll be a totally different game, the main question is on how Pacquiao's gas tank will hold up as the last time I saw him with Broner, he could not pull the trigger anymore as he gassed after throwing combination. maybe due to age catching up?.

but saying, Spence beating the **** out of Pac is a long shot. he can't even drop a guy that climbed up to his weight class how much more a competitor that is so used to not only fighting guys taller and bigger than him?

keep in mind, boxing is more mental than physicality. Pac is more superior in terms of boxing IQ and has vast of experience.
he also possesses power that keep his opponent honest, he has speed and footwork, he was never on the line of target as he moves not only his body but his head.

can Spence pull it off? yes, he can but not an easy one that you assumes.

Pacquiao didn’t sound too confident when asked if he wanted Spence next. He hummed and hawed before saying something that sounded like he wanted the fight and just walked away it looked really awkward like he didn’t want to be there

I just hope that Spence is serious of fighting pac.

Every single fighter in the division wants to fight Pac for the money.
Porter, Thurman, and Spence for 100% sure.

[Bullrider]

What can fans do? Pac is one of the only few who got balls to step up. The rest is just content taking on fights they knew they can win.
