Comments Thread For: Spence: If I Can't Get Pacquiao We'll Fight Danny Garcia

[don miguel]

Pacquiao isn't trying to fight someone like Spence.

Really??? After watching spence last 2 fights, I bet Pac is grinning ear to ear

Him and Freddy were planning to campaign at 140 because they claimed it's Pacs best weight class, but it was because they wanted to lure the biggers guys to lose weight to fight him. However, when Marquez asked for the fight, they wanted Marquez at 147, because they feel that weight disadvantages Marquez. When Crawford came at 140, they decided against going there, because they didnt want to fight Bud. Freddy said himself that Manny will not fight Crawford because Crawford is a bigger version of Mayweather with more power.

It is all smoke and mirrors with Pac and Freddy. People seem to forget that Pac's career and notable wins are at make belief weight-classes and against people coming off damaging losses.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS exist in boxing since beginning of time. MONEY TALKS. Nobody forced anybody to fight at make belief weight-classes. They agreed to it because they want the money. Catch weight existed for ages. JMM was a superstar way before Pac was. If he fought De la hoya before Pac did and beat him, he would have dictated the terms and Pac would have agreed.

Why does it appear that Manny needs to adjust to fight these young fighters. Manny is the lottery ticket, manny is the ATG and has the resume to be considered as GOAT. Why does the 41yr old part-time boxer, full-time senator, is demanded by idiots to fight both Spence and Crawford when themselves refuse to fight each other. Lure Pacquiao to give them the lottery money by unifying the belts.

Well said!!!

Manny offered a fight to Bud at 147 but knew Bud had unfinished business vs ATG Postol and the rest of the super stacked 140 division.

Bud has been calling out all the big names at PBC. PBC knows they will make all kinds of money with Arum involved because Arum knows how to promote huge PPV numbers with any fighter but PBC doesn't want to risk it.

I keed I keed!

ATG Apostol? You would choose Apostol over Pac? Really???

Pac just moved up to 140 when Golden Boy offered the fight and beat him to be the top draw in PPV.

If that's the case, it was a bad bad decision.

But I think it was TR who said NO

I am not a spence fan nor do I believe that he's the boogeyman. But I am a boxing fan who knows the sport and knows that he'd beat the hell out of pac. Porter at this point would also beat pac and Crawford certainly will as well. You seem to have forgotten how easy it was for horn and Thurman to put hands on pac. Pac won't be able to take that kind of punishment from spence. I'm not sure where you're getting this perception that people say spence is slick because he's black. That actually sounds like a racist comment from you. Spence wins because he's bigger, stronger, is a sharp puncher who goes to the body very well. Pac will be in for hell if they dare to take the fight. You better hope they don't, since it seems that pac getting crushed may hurt your soul beyond repair.

Spence can't even knockdown Mikey. What makes you think he will crush Pac? You're maybe a boxing fan but you don't know the sport. Spence might be stronger but Thurman is more skilled than him. more slick, much better footwork. Thurman beat Porter, remember?

Thurman that fought Pac would beat Spence.

Put financial reward for Pac? The guy who beat Thurman? The guy who holds the WBA strap?

Get real man. PAC is both financial and legacy reward. He'll be the first three belt unified weltwerweight champ since Floyd Mayweather in 2015 if he beats Pac.

Finally, if you guys want the Crawford fight so badly, you should be routing for Spence Pac to happen next because it brings the Crawford Spence fighter closer to happening.

If it doesn't happen next we already know PBC plan to make Spence vs Garcia next. But if it does happen, and Spence wins, the undisputed unification between Spence and Crawford happens right after.

No doubt that Pac still has enough that anyone who beats him can claim it as a legacy scrap, but there's no getting away from the fact that his best days were 10 years ago. Crawford is in his prime so beating him would be a tougher job right now, but he's not as much of a financial pull as Pac is.
To be fair, as long as 2 of those 3 fight soon I don't mind which it is. It does look like Garcia is next for Spence though, and while it's a respectable match-up it's not the most exciting one.

Oh! My God Danny! Has fight the best in his prime! He is a warrior and one the best no doubt!!

the Thurman that fought pac would've been ko'd by spence. If you knew boxing like you think you'd do, you'd know that even a prime Thurman had bad stamina and couldn't handle body shots well. This post injury inactive version of thurman has even less stamina and resistance. Thurman has never fought anyone who hit as hard as spence and went to the body with that kind of consistency. Right before pac, Thurman was nearly stopped by josesito lopez. Get real. Also, if you knew boxing, you'd also know that styles make fights. Thurman moving around the ring and trying to be slick was better for pac, who at 40 was able to take breaks when necessary and attack when he chose to. Spence wouldn't give pac room to breathe and woukd wear down a 41 yr old smaller man. Pac was drained by the pressure that horn put on him. He was dead tired by the end of that fight. Spence wouldn't let pac see the final bell.

Completely agree with you (as edited).

Horn is history just like Bradley, 2 boxers who got help from the judges to beat Pac, get over it.

Spence needs to move up and forget about unifying
