    Maybe in some ways he's faster, but when things get gnarly Spence can throw very fast combinations. Thurman likes those big looping shots that aren't as fast as straight punches or hooks.

      In all seriousness, I think Pacquiao has a better chance than what people are saying.

      He's a live dog. Pacquiao can hang with any of the top welters today. I think Bud will be the hardest due to the ridiculous reach and style advantage.

      Size is not what beats pacquiao. It's counterpunching and controlling the pace of the fight. But I believe he has the ability to beat all of them even as a 40 year old vet.

      Should Pacquiao lose, he'll be boosting Spence' stock. Fought the best in the division, comes up short. Nothing to be ashamed of. And boxing has a new face. Go out in a blaze of glory.

      Should he win, he'd basically be boxing Jesus.

        Bruh he's already the Yoda of boxing

        The little man did it all. Seen it all. He's just waiting for an apprentice to pass down that lightsaber.

          To be fair, Mikey was on survival mode half the fight. It's hard to stop a world class fighter when they've made up their mind to survive.

          Manny would never fight just to survive which would open him up for the likelihood of getting stopped. Not saying it will happen but the styles and disposition of the fighters matter.

              Im glad u brought that up. Cuz thats exactly why Manny will get hurt.

              People bring up Mikey fight but Mikey never hurt Spence so he didnt feel no urgency.

              Manny is not gonna go into survival mode and he is gonna land punches but he not gonna be able to keep up the pace after round 5 when Spence goes into Terminator mode like he did vs Brook.

              We all saw Manny slow down vs Thurman...Now just think him winning rounds vs Spence then slowing down Spence gonna become relentless and walk Manny down. It will look like that round Manny was getting fcked up by Margirto but for the last 6 rounds smh

                If Mikey was doing damage Spence woulda been relentlessly doing damage and that fight woulda been stopped. And thats why he would hurt Manny. Manny is gonna do damage from speed n experience the first half a fight. But he aint gonna be able to keep up with Spence ferocious pace.

                People judging him off that Mikey "boxing clinic" too much. They forgetting Spence's bread n butter which was om full display vs Kell Brook

                  It's funny to think that the hardest body puncher at welterweight might just be the former flyweight.

                  Both Broner and Thurman keeled from those body shots. And it looked really bad.



                  Because of Spence height, Manny might just focus on the body and jumped all over Spence.

                  I've compared the Spence Garcia fight with Pac Thurman fight side by side. Spence was a tad slower than Thurman. Considering his size, physique, and technical work which is a disadvantage when you're fighting someone so unconventional.

                    Depends on which Spence shows up, he fought so much different vs Mikey and it was great.

                      With the current version of Manny, I cannot disagree on this one. But if it was the 2010 version of Manny (or anywhere close that version) it would be a different story.
