Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: If It Were Up To Me, Wouldn't Let Pacquiao Fight Spence

[BoloShot]

In my best Roger Mayweather voice. MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW SH#T ABOUT BOXING!!

Cos the Mayweather's are the be all and end all on that matter. They know more about grappling than boxing.

Don't take this too literally please I know someone will sperg out at this if I don't point that out. People take things literally often here, pardon the explanation.

Ellerbe knows boxing

and he helped Floyd navigate through his career

many is surrounded by people, other than roach, who want the biggest cut for themselves and the cut is bigger the bigger the fight

the Thurman camp and fight is gonna take a lot out of pac

I picked pac by ko vs Thurman

spence would batter pac and stop him

Nonsense!!! Both Pac and Spence fights at 147. its not like a Canelo,Cotto,Dela Hater fighting Floyd where they outweighed him over 15-20lbs. If Pac wants to be in the same sentence as Floyd then he needs to extend himself at least a lil.

I say ... Spence is big definitely when not fighting. But in the ring, he won't be so big, he has to scale down to 147, plus the IBF weight rules also favor Pacman. There are weight classes for a reason.

Pacman is a warrior, I won't be surprised if he picks Spence. However, his team, TMT, and PBC may push someone else, since Pacman is a big cash cow and Spence might be a future one. I would not push Porter aside though, his rough and tough style can upset Spence. One headbutt or one elbow can turn the tide lol. I pick Porter to win against Spence.

In a Philippine news interview, Pacman said he was inactive in the middle rounds as he was trying to time Thurman. Thurman touched him a lot, and allowed it so he could counter, but the opportunity never came, Thurman was smart by then. He shouldn't do this against Spence and all will be well.

Adrien Broner says he knows what's next, but he's not talking, teasing reporters about it.

Tested by the state of Nevada not VADA! And a rich veteran of Manny pedigree could be a state test in sleep!

Manny is signed up with Vada and Nevada doesn't order drug test kits online... same test, different name and price.

If you want to put Floyd in the same sentence as Manny, tell him to get a belt from a pro boxer.

Pacquiao would hang with Spence, Crawford's a different animal, Bud would batter Pac like a ping pong ball, Pac would end up in the ICU with life changing damage..

[Koolz87]

Suck him off already

[Fanofreason]

Thurman lite up PAC.

Not sure what fight people were watching. Throwing flurries and missing does not score points.

[Mister Wolf]

I hope he doesnt. Now that Thurman isn't an option force Spence to fight Crawford. If Spence tries to cry about it Roach should call him out for avoiding Crawford.

Funny this promoters always say they don't want Manny to fight the best fighter in their stable because they care about him. Bob Arum said the same thing when asked why Pacquaio was never matched up with Crawford. Now Ellerbe is saying the same thing about Spence.

Yeah, it's weird. I don't know if they really care about pac or they just want to protect their future cash cow against pac.
