If watching PAC get brutally Ko'd is highly entertaining to you (it is for me) then yes, it would be better than spence\garcia.

Don’t compare an apple to an orange as Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia are two different fighters. Errol looked good to Mikey as the latter jumped two weight classes abruptly, thus naturally quite slower and reflexes are sucks....and could be the preparation going to the battle was ill prepared. Manny Pacquiao is a different animal, he is a beast in this 147 weight class because he got used to it already. Now, the reason he is successful as a fighter because of his mentality in going to war, he extremely prepares himself physically, spiritually and mentally due to the fact that he doesn’t want to frustrate so many people who expecting him to win, particularly the entire nation Philippines. That’s the motivation he exemplifies over other boxers who don’t have that kind of inspiration, and that’s lies his success plus all the talent and skill and boxing. Age is just a number for a person who is highly motivated, and his experience and warrior mentality will make Errol step back and gun shy to do what he had done to Mikey as he will realise that Manny is a special fighter. But it’s too late as internet writers like Mike Rosenthal has fooled him to believe, he can duplicate the same feat over Mikey Garcia, and now Errol has to contend himself to be just a counter puncher against Manny Pacquiao as he can’t matched Manny on a blow by blow basis. Errol will end up like most of the fighters faced by Manny to just stay in the fight by running, hugging and avoiding being mauled by the lion...Pacquiao is great and special fighter but unfortunately people don’t see this as they see him as a threat to the American ego of being labelled as GOAT....

Man you had to open up a new account just to post this rubbish?

Real question is why are these top fighters in the division getting a pass for this?
Why aren't they fighting each other?
Spence has yet to fight Crawford, Thurman, Garcia, Porter.
What are these clowns doing?
Why are they trying to fight a 40 yr old, non prime fighter?

Same reason people rob a bank.
That is where the MONEY is?

In response to the headline..
When you go fighting old guys whose prime is many years in the past yet they still hit a creditable level; the worth of that win will only be marked when you reach that same number of years down the road of your career.

I mean he's in a loaded division and no one wants to fight him.

They had to shell out big cash just to get Garcia in there with him. Porter is the only one saying his name finally after two whole years of Spence being a champion.

This article is bogus. He will fight anybody... Will they fight him?


And don't anyone dare say Terrence "Exclusively ESPN" Crawford. There's plenty of more realistic easier to make fights out there. Those guys just need to be pressured into fighting Spence.

Loaded over rated class of p@ssies , all comparable none truly better than others all good none great

Fighting Pac will make Spence a household name. It's a no brainer for him to take that fight.

[SkillspayBills]

Horrible horrible article. The writer should be ashamed for this hackneyed drivel.

[trainhard_187]

With Pacquiao still being a PPV name especially with that easy win Broner, and opponent like Spence would do pretty good numbers...

I want to see it, I know Pacmans power will make a difference and his speed. Spence is younger with size but Pacman is a different beast then Garcia.

Lets make it happen.

Lotta ways to look at this fight, but IMO there isn't much of a good outcome for Manny. I do think he would give Spence more trouble than any challenge so far, and that it would be a close decision. I just can't see that decision going Pac's way. Just a little too much speed and power from Spence. Manny would have his moments though. If anyone is a warrior these days it's Manny. Gotta respect him for that. As for his next fight... I'd rather see Manny vs Thurman, Porter or Danny. And I'd rather see Spence vs Loma or Crawford.

135 lb Loma?!?
