Oh come on now, that's taking unquestioning fan ship too far.

I just hope that Spence is serious of fighting pac.

Spence fought a very smart fight as he's very careful early on & respected Mickey. Mickey has respectable power against a welterweight but look very slow w/ the extra weight jumping 2 divisions. He could beat some welterweights but not at Spence level, he should stay at lightweight or max at light welter. He suppose to be quicker to at least deal the huge height & reach advantage of Spence.

Mickey is not Manny even at age 40, he's a different animal fast, stronger, great footwork, throws combo & high ring IQ, a certified top 20 ATG. It will be a good match up but I still believe Manny will beat Spence base on what his performance against Mickey.

While true, Pac is a lot faster than Mikey, with much faster feet, the more filled out at the weight class and overall with more punching power than Mikey at 147.

However and the same time he is still 40 years old and is lot older and lacking the same fundamentals of a much younger Mikey Garcia. Mikey to his credit was able to either parry or block a lot Spence's power punches.

However, Pac is going to sell out more because he believes he is more of a puncher at this weight class than Mikey Garcia and is gonna take more risks and get hit more flush and absorb a lot more punishment from Erroll Spence, Jr in the process as well.

I just hope that Spence is serious of fighting pac.

How can he not be ?
*He makes a ton of money
*After he saw Manny vs Horn he knows Pac is not that dangerous anymore.
* It will delay the Crawford/Thurman fights which are more dangerous to him while making more money and with a better chance to win.
* He will be part of the biggest event of the year or among the top 2 in all of boxing.
* He will make a ton of money.
* Did I forget to say he will make a ton of money ?
* He will be the favourite to win for real not just the bookies.

The guy watched the fight from ringside and said he was interested in the winner. PAC doesn’t usually watch fights from ringside. This should tell you he’s really interested and we all know Spence was favored before the fight.

This Spence kid is losing is prime. He is already 29 and now fighting a lightweight and calling out nearly retired fighter instead of top 154 -160 guys if he can`t get Crawford, Thurman, Danny, Porter.

His career is on the same level as 2 years ago when he beat Brook.

Why would he call out fighters in higher weight when he makes 147 with no problem so he can end up like brook? Manny still active and a player in ww division, who next fight is either Spence or Thurman.... makes absolutely no sense to move up right now

Don’t do it Manny

Spence would boot f.uck you , take your scalp and force you into retirement if not the grave

Not gonna happen.

Pac knows he's gonna get beat up, the next fight pac takes is going to be against a guy he can beat.

Thurman didn't look too good in his last fight and isn't as physically gifted as spence, that can be a fight pac can win.

PAC should go for Thurman and the real WBA title first. Potentially a winnable fight, another decent payday and, if he's not up to it, probably won't get badly beaten.
If he can get past Thurman then, maybe, think about Spence as a unification/retirement cash out fight

[slimPickings]

this is just biased, he wasn't fighting in cowboys stadium in front of a HUGE crowd 2 years ago.

This is a debate, be objective.

Good luck with that!

You ought to know a troll when you see one and I am willing to bet he probably picked Mikey to win!!

[Bullrider]

Fight would be effing huge. Make it happen!!!
