    Don’t get me wrong I think the Pacquiao of 10 years ago would win fairly comfortably.
    thurman was gonna walk pac down and ko him. got clipped in the 1st round and that changed everything. i see the same scenario with spence. matter fact, i see spence getting clipped more! spence just comes at you with no head movements at all. and imo, thurman is a heavier puncher than spence.

      Not comfortably at the least.

      Spence isn't at the point of his career as Cotto, Oscar, Mosley etc. He doesn't fight like Clottey, Hatton, or Margarito either.

      Pacquiao has a better chance to win with his form from 10 years ago but I wouldn't favor him over Spence.

      He's a different kind of fighter and his skill set. As long as it isn't a catchweight, Spence should beat 2009 Pacquiao or 40 year old Pacquiao.

        Spence would definitely have his moments even against a prime Pacquiao but ultimately I think he would fall into his hands style wise.

        I’d say it would be a 8-4 type of fight in Manny’s favour. Back then Pacquiao could maintain a crazy pace for 12 rounds along with his superior hand and maybe even more crucially foot speed that would allow him get in range to land his combinations and then spin out of danger for the most part vs Spence who isn’t the most difficult target.

          This ^

          I can see that happening.

              Love Manny but I have my money on Spence. Hope Manny makes me lose that money.

                  Pac. Spence is too basic.

                    It depends how Pac shows up at the fight. He is over 40 and has been inactive for a long time. Spence is bigger younger and has technic, too many people underestimate his jab but doesn't have superior hand speed. This fight is interesting because of Spence being a proven top WW and the dynamic Pac.
