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

[bopbopbbe]

Mikey is quite a bit technically better than Pacquiao. It is Pac's unorthodox style that makes him hard to prepare for.

When was the last time Pac fought a southpaw? Probably have to go back 10 years.

Pacquaio is the BETTER fighter period. Just because Mikey jabs a lot and is really goood at a 1-2 doesn’t mean he’s technically better.

and spence intentionally didn’t fight physical against the much much smaller much predictable and stationary mikey when he had the chance? lol.

imo, spence is the least technical among the top ww’s. he’s just big, with the least defense.

How he boxed Garcia is exactly how he wanted to beat him.

How is fought Brook shows the dog, either version will beat current Manny badly.

“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

When I hear the words “Freddie Roach says,” I automatically stop listening. Roach will say any damn thing.

I have no beef with Manny if he takes lesser opponents. He has already proven everything he had to prove in the ring. And if he really does still want to run with the big dogs, God bless him. Just don’t get hurt.

To see is to believe, Manny vs Spence

you criticized an undefeated thurman yet used brook as your proof? brook who ggg damaged prior and drained down 2 weight classes and still gave spence a run for his money? lol. btw kell never fought at ww again, goes to show he squeezed himself dry against errol.

Which pretty much proves my point. They call out the top WW then proceed to fight Brandon Rios or Mathysse or Broner and now I hear Danny Garcia is being floated to fight pac.

What part of Thurmans injury layoff and nearly stopped starts to play into things, you do know hindsight is 20/20 vision, but you got to look beneath the icing.

You guys make me laugh, all Mannys opponents are automatically the very best they can be, so many of them have massive asterisks attached at the time of the fight that when looked at explain so much of how it was all done.

I will be sooooooo surprised if Manny fights Errol or TC the brains behind Manny will not allow it, if he did those guys will force him to retire, beat down and the towel comes in or a blazing sharp combo from TC that stops him.

Great fighter and I dont want to see a Holmes Ali type deal, that beat down of Ali sickened me to see a great reduced to a bag.

PAC beat them w/ healthy 2 arms while PAC is so great he beat floyd with just 1 healthy arm.

Prolly right. Hope its wrong & hope my feelings are wrong.

brook was damaged by ggg then squeezed down 2 weight classes right after. those are facts, what hindsight you talkin about? same as thurman, he had injury and went life and death with lopez. those are facts. no one’s talking about hindsight. but you choose to higlight one and try to turn a blind eye on the other when in fact, the guy pac fought won his last fight while spence’s did not.

im not saying spence will be an easy fight, pac will def have his hands full but to me TC is a bigger threat, he’s more dynamic but methodical and has a mean streak in him. spence style is so predictable, and he lacks defense.
