Mike Coppinger smiles: Pacquiao-Spence not expected to happen

[CLUE]

That coward with the best resume at 147

No he does not. He has done ish in years. By your logic say Manny has the best resume, since you digging deep into fights that have to relevance years later.

[Real King Kong]

Now, this is interesting to me. Even someone like Collazo? or Lower.

Maybe mcgregor...or even that Japanese featherweight.

The tweet got twisted and it clearly said Spence wont fight Pac next. The right question should be, is Spence ducking a 40 year old Pac? lol!

Joking aside, Manny has the regular WBA title and if he doesnt get Spence next then he should fight Thurman. Winner fights the winner of Spence-Porter.

if spence don't want to fight pac then pac should fight thurman next. Spence should pick pac as his next fight.

[Curt Henning]

it may be more about haymon wanting pac for thurman....im sure al is thinking ppv with thurman/spence down the road....thurman hasnt had one yet

lol, ok. You gonna tell me Spence has the best resume at 147 now that he beat a blown up lightweight?

Thurman has beaten 2 of the other top 3 WW in the world, you can try to talk your way around your hate for him, but those are the facts.

I know what is in Haymon's mind.
Spence will get Porter, instead of Pac, which Errol actually wanted.
It's a legit title unification.
He will win and will get the Thurman vs Pac winner.
That's what uncle Al promised Spence.
Which is actually not bad.
He might even get Thurman in the end.

Make no mistake, this is not Pac's plan.
This is all Haymon's.

Why? Because Thurman has become a wildcard.
He's obviously not ready for Spence.
He's willing to rematch Porter or Garcia.
But those are not very attractive fights at this point.

Spence wants Porter's belt.
Bottom line.

Maybe mcgregor...or even that Japanese featherweight.

Fine as long as he drops the title and stops claiming to be a world champ.

That's a perfectly logical plan. Manny vs Thurman will sell just fine and it's less likely Manny gets beat up, he may even win, setting up a Spence-Pac fight down the line. Thurman wins, he gets the shine on his record of beating Pac and then him vs Spence becomes bigger. Haymon can't lose in either scenario.

Actually, I like that. Collazo needs a payday. He's been calling out Spence for a while and the other top dogs and they don't mention Collazo. Good solid contender level fighter who deserves it WAY more than all the current champs. Collazo is a guy who will fight anyone put in front of him and has had to deal with being the B side forever, including being robbed against certain fighters.

Happy you said this, I prefer this fight the best. The young top guys need to fight each other, not try to fight a 40 year old.

2 years ago isn't 10 years ago. Big difference. Danny nor Shawn have changed much to make me think they could beat Thurman if they fought again.
