    Let's all agree that every time Pac gets beaten it's a robbery LOL.

    With that out of the way, the Porter - Spence fight very strongly indicated that both would beat Packy. The physicality and endurance shown in their fight would be enough.

        Whatcha think??
        Pac is the better fighter for sure but is this a "styles make fights" thing?...
        Porter would be an absolute nightmare for this version of Pac stylistically.

          Porter used to be Pac’s sparring partner for years. They know each other well.

              You kinda took a dump on your own credibility in the first paragraph but your conclusion regarding 40 year old Pac is probably right.

                If that fight happened it's gonna be 2020 Pacquiao and Porter will be a VERY hard night for a (nearly) 41 yr old 70 fight veteran. Horn gave Porter a blueprint that Porter could execute better, and I see him beating Manny at this point in time.

                I also think Porter beats Thurman if that was to be both guys' next fight!

                  They have sparred a lot of rounds which always changes fights. I think those sessions at the wildcard probably helped shape Porter as the fighter he is today, especially the mental side.

                  I think it's a tough ask for Manny at this age, not impossible but tough. I think it could go either way, Manny is a bit more compact, faster and closer to Porters height which might actually help him defend and land in close quarters compared to Spence, I also think Spence hasn't actually got a lot experience at that level.

                  Just a footnote - I didn't think the Horn fight was a robbery at all, not sure why people think that, it was a close fight, apart from the 9th Manny was the one being hurt more often.

                    Except that blueprint required a robbery...Horn didn't really beat Pac.

                      Well, without getting into the "robbery", as the record shows a loss for Pacquiao, what I was trying to say (if you didn't get it) was that Horn showed a style that Manny really struggled with and Porter can do it a lot better imo. Just an opinion, no slight on Manny.
