Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao's pursuit of Spence shouldn't progress beyond talk

[Cracaphat]

I'd also advise against fighting Spence,but if Pac were to and beat him,then he'd top Mayweather as an ATG.The only way May could get back above Pacquaio would be to beat both Pac and Canelo.And then he might only just sc**** in the top 10 all-time.

Nah he don't. He takes too many rounds off to beat Spence. Spence is way too active and has way too much of a gas tank and hits hard too. He would break down and stop Pac or simply outgun and Outland him if he can with the Mikey Garcia approach.

Crawford on the other hand I feel sometimes he waits too much and thinks too much. Sometimes I feel he tries to be too technical when he should just go for it. PAC could feint him to death while taking those long breaks he seems to need nowadays. However he Crawford decided to go for it, he would beat up and stop Pac.

Prime Pac is a different story though, I honestly have no idea how those fights would go against 2009-2010 fight, I give the slight edge to Pac.

“Too many rounds off”. Like Mayweather would say, as long as I win 7 rounds, i can take the rest of the fight off.

Didn’t May beat both PAC and Canelo?
Is there something else that somehow changed those facts?

same old story everytime a fighter was compared to PAC
but at the end of the fight PAC wins and his haters cry like a beitchh

“If (Manny is) gonna continue in boxing, I want him to fight the best guys he can,” veteran trainer Freddie Roach said. “We’re not looking for any stiffs or any easy fights or anything like that. We will fight anybody out there. If Floyd doesn’t come, Errol Spence, all of them. Line them up.”

That’s what Freddie Roach says and then they go fight Brandon Rios or Broner or Mathysse or a Mosley who had just lost to Floyd

Prime Pac will always have a problem with a fighter like Crawford. Patient counter punchers with an IQ is kryptonite for Pac. Thurman outbox Pac mid rds by being patient and countering.

An older Pac gets outboxed and stopped by Crawford, save he doesn't get drawn into a fire fight.

Prime pac? Against the Crawford who got wobbled by a washed up Gamboa?
I’m not sold on Crawford just yet. The only fighter who can give a prime pac trouble will always be Marquez.
Pac has fought a lot of counter punchers but he’s aggression was just too much. Specially for Crawford who really hasn’t fought a top5 Ww.

Once again, a common sense article that has fans on this site suffering brain melt. I wonder how these people would act talking to people about boxing in real life. If they'd drop the act or if they'd still act ****** like this.

PAC will never fight SPENCE. He only fought THURMAN because he came off of 2.5 yr layoff. That was great match making on Team PAC's side.

WTF is this bull****. This is not so subtle hating on Spence because he doesn't want Spence to become the man at 147 with PPV pedigree. Why didn't anybody stop De La Hoya from beating Julio César Chávez. Yet another fear of a Black planet style article.

Agree there's plenty of racism in this country, BUT- JCC had just turned 36 when he fought DLH. Pacquiao will be 41 in December. I think that's the difference.

spence maybe bigger but he isnt a dynamic fighter than crawford or thurman. he hasn’t fought anyone nearly as dynamic as pac. mikey was too slow and very robotic and spence couldn’t even bully him.

not hating on spence, but he would be an easier fight for pac than crawford. he comes at you chin up no head movement, no defense except to pull back, and pac’s gonna mark up that face with straight lefts.

Robert Garcia says Mikey is the best fighter he has ever coached, and had his way with Maidana when they sparred. Mikey is probably top 5 as far as technical skills in the game today.
People now downplay Spence's win because he didn't KO MG, even though he said he wanted to display his boxing skills. Pac will get beaten by Spence badly. Spence is the real deal. Manny has little experience vs southpaws, and Spence is an elite southpaw.
