Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Should Face Porter or Garcia, Spence is Too Much

[Citizen Koba]

Spence is too good a boxer and too big. He's a bigger Mayweather, less defensive but more offensive, and he's in his prime. He's not necessarily better than Mayweather, he's just a really good boxer and he's too big for Pacquiao, who's old.

... Man, I keep seeing this one or comments similar. Dude fights literally nothing like Floyd. If you mean they're both good boxers, then ummm... yeah, sure I guess.

Bob is the best! He says Danny Garcia doesn't hit very hard, and that's the guy he sent an offer to fight Crawford! Note, he didn't send Errol Spence an offer!

Even though he's a diabolical genius, I have to agree, that Pacquiao, at age 40, should stay away from Spence Jr. and Crawford! I would suggest Thurman, Porter, or DSG, but my favorite would be Manny Pacquiao vs. Geronta Davis @ 140! Maybe Tank would take the offer that Lomachenko didn't? It wouldn't do well at AT&T, but it would do very well at the MGM Grand!

... That should be the right path to follow... But I hear they rather want to make Pacquiao vs Thurman next...

That's a much more even fight! I hope that's what happens next! That way Spence can go beat the brakes off Shawn Porter! That's way overdue!

I hope Pac fights Porter so Spence wont have an excuse for refusing to negotiate with Crawford.

... that is supposed to be the plan for the moment...

I wish Spence would fight Crawford next too, while he can still make the weight. Sparring partners say he hits like a light heavyweight, but they aren't sparring a drained Spence. Cutting from the high 170's will eventually take it's toll.

Arum wants Crawford to stay unbeaten before he fights Spence, which is the reason he offered Khan $5 million and Danny Garcia $3 million.

If Porter wanted the Spence fight, he would have fought him one of the several chances he had, instead of the bogus excuses. Same with Thurman and Danny Garcia. Mikey Garcia made those three look like *******. Now we have the oldest guy in the division game enough to fight Spence who is the same size as Mikey? Wow.

OK...

Can anybody else sell the AT&T stadium vs Spence, at this stage?

I think the best two options are Spence vs Crawford or Spence vs Pacquiao to sell big at AT&T. Both would be huge. Bill one as a Leonard vs Hearns type fight and the other as a future HOF Manny in possibly his last fight vs Spence. Tens of thousands would buy in if it's possibly his last fight.

Imo both would be huge events, but a fight with Manny would be the biggest because of his world-wide stardom.

As much I love Manny; I just so happen to agree with the old man Bob. I know I am gonna catch a lot flack from the Pac fans.

However, what Arum is saying is true. If Pac was just 30 years old then I would say Hell yeah make the fight happen as soon as possible.

However, at 40 years old Spence is just a bridge too far for Manny to cross at this time; As Manny stamina, reflexes and hand to eye coordination have all slowed down with his age. He would be a walking human punching bag for Erroll.

I would much rather see him fighting someone like Porter, Thurman or Danny Garcia.
