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

[OPS]

Boogeyman, you hear that. It seems although Pacquiao is a formidable opponent, you may be a bit too much for the old Congressman.
Come out, come out wherever you are, sayeth "Bud."
Crawford said it best, "how you da boogeyman, if I'm chasing you."
All roads Leads to Crawford.
Spence stop running around here talking about "man down," and "man the heck up," and fight Crawford.

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.

And Spence wasnt peaking and a little flat being in the UK he didnt have the swagger a fighter gets when camp is over miner stuff and not an excuse just saying I noticed it, what mattered in my eyes was the dog he needed to find to get that win, and the dog was there against a big strong WW in front of his home crowd, Brook came to win and was a tough win for anyone that night.

I dont like applying something to one opponent as a reference to someone else, Look how Spence destroyed Algieri and Manny couldnt get anything but soft KDs, Errol soul stomped him, it dont mean anything as to Spence vs Manny.

Id much rather just look at their skills, style, determination, dedication, things of the raw material nature, not their name. I believe Errol is game, I know from the Garcia fight that he can be intelligent and clinical, combine his physical assets, punch variation and his youth, he then becomes a beast for the current version of Manny.

I see Errol breaking Manny down a systematic beating , where I see TC stopping him in explosive fashion.

We will see how things turn out over the next few mths, Im looking forward to the Spence Porter fight and see Porter is really getting up for this one so we should see where Errol is at right now in this fight.

i don’t see errol winning using that same tactic he used against mikey. manny’s too quick and busy to be a stationary target like mikey

but looking forward to the porter fight too. who knows, depending on how errol handles a busy opponent like shawn, he may or may not change my mind about manny’s odds.

Yep I dont see Errol trying to be cute with Manny, I think he would be a bully in that fight.

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.

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.

He has to beat two people he already beat to make the top 10? That doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense when you say it out loud does it?

[Sledgeweather17]

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

Ummm....pretty much what they (he and his trainer) said they would do throughout the promotion of the fight, so yeah, he intentionally didn't fight physical, because that's what he said he would and what he did.

How long have you been watching the sport to not know that styles make fight and not your triangle theory nonsense? Mayweather got wobble many times by lesser foes, but yet still outclassed Canelo, Dela Hoya, Pac, Cotto and Marquez.

Foreman killed Frazier, got knocked out silly by Ali and Ali went life and death with Frazier.

Me thinks Bud was weak at 130 and has been draining himself. Same thing was the case with Cotto who was rocked by the slightest wind at lower weights, but at higher weights he's able to absorb more punishment to due to being less weight drained.

I see Bud eating big shots at the higher weights and is not fazed. Look at Canelo who was getting wobbled by Cotto's brother at Welterweight, but is now able to withstand GGG at middle weight.

Freddie didn't want anything to do with Bud for a reason. He himself said if he doesn't put Pac in fights if he sees no chance of Pac winning. He said Pac should stay clear of Crawford, because Crawford is a version of Mayweather with power.

Lol, I believe I been watching boxing longer than you son. But I am impressed and agree with the lower weight and draining you’re talking about but no one is talking triangle theories here and the names you mentioned above are proven greats. Roach maybe right, Crawford Would be too much against a 40 yr old pac. Easy to compare fighters to Mayweather with pop. They said the same with Judah who is Whitaker with pop. This version of Crawford who hasn’t fought a top 5 WW would have trouble against a prime pac who would have too much experience, too much volume punching, speed and stamina. I could see Crawford being confused. Mayweather beat pac but not the way Márquez beat pac who was still in his prime. Márquez only fighter who gave pac trouble IN HIS PRIME.

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

——-
Brandon Rios, Mathysse, Broner etc
That’s the point

[robbyheartbaby]

Lol. It's a unification fight, and the biggest fight in the ww division. If Spence, or Crawford for that matter, plan on being undisputed, they'd need that WBA strap ffs.

The hell is wrong with some of you guys?

Just that real talk no hate intended Spence and Crawford have to see each other ASAP
