Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Leaves Spence Off List Of Potential Opponents

[dibzvincent143]

Pacquiao isn't the biggest fan of the sport outside of his own fights, believe it or not. He didn't even know who GGG was a few years ago when he approached him in his gym.

Most likely he called Spence out after having never seen him fight, and then he may have actually sat down and watched his performance against Garcia and had second thoughts.

I second this. Dude’s not even following his own sport. That’s why he needed a promoter for the vast part of his career to tell him what’s up, and who’s the better match up stylistically. Who the fans want. What dates to pick. (With his fame he didn’t need a promoter) But because he’s busy doing other crafts, he did.

I’m a fan but that’s just the truth.

Hes 40. At least hes not fighting mma fighters like mayweather. Spence will have to find another weak opponent to fight, maybe he could drag up leo santa cruz for his next fight against a mexican?

Darn Mikey... you have still not gotten over that that one sided beat down after you told everyone who would listen to you that you "see something".

Next time careful who you call out.

Get over it already!!

I don't blame Pacquiao. He knows he's being used as a scapegoat to shoot Spence to stardom and refused to do be so.

No one is using Pac as no scapegoat. He is the one that said he would like to fight the winner, he is the one that went to the fight, and he is the one that went into the ring after the fight.

No one forced him to say or do any of that stuff.

Pac probably saw how fundamentally good Spence is and how big he is in person and decided against it.

Manny Pacquiao should fight Porter

Good. Didn't want to see pacquiao end up on a stretcher. Spence (outside of maybe crawford) is the most dangerous welterweight out there. Crawford might be a little more skilled than him, but spence has the edge in pure physical strength. Against a 40 year old manny, spence might just be able to tee off on him.


Garcia, porter, are winnable fights. Both have flaws but still solid fighters. Thurman i still believe would beat pac, hes rusty and not as dominant as the top 2 guys but hes still a great (close to prime) fighter

Pac probably wanted to fight the winner of Spence / Garcia as long as the winner was Garcia! He shouldnt have talked about fighting the winner or stepped into the ring and gave the impression thats what he wanted to do. He didnt go into the ring to say hello or build Spence's brand.

But he picked Spence to beat Garcia. Anyway, that poll means nothing, he probably is not even the one who wrote it, but his Twitter writer, who was ordered by someone else lol.

Roach likes it to be Spence, Pacman has also basically said no problem to a reporter, who leaked it to the press. Many people whisper in Pacman's ear, though, so let's see.

I have no issue with this. Manny has paid his dues in the sport and doesn't owe anyone anything (except Arum for the advances he was taking). It will probably be Manny - Thurman and Spence - Porter with the winner meeting next year. I'm not sure where Danny Garcia falls in all of this.

[HanzGruber]

Nobody ***ing wants to see him fight porter or either Garcia. Manny ducking as usual. Surprised he’s not challenging ugas

[CLUE]

Anyone but Thurman. Don't reward that coward.
