Boy I got to disagree with ya here bro. Porters footwork on inside is underrated imo, not as good as Mannys but much better then he gets credit for. As for Spence not having no power to hurt Pac I strongly disagree. No one has really come close to stopping Porter so I don't think him not stopping Porter shows anything. Pac has been hurt and KOed by lesser punchers then Spence, and his body work would be he ll for Pac imo. Also cant see this version of Pac hurting Spence. Spence is a WHOLE other animal then the Thurman Pac fought and that was a close fight. I really doubt we will see it and cant blame Pac for not wanting that work at 40, but if they do we will have to put a little friendly wager on that one. Take it easy Lopez.
Manny over Spence

Pac and Porter don't have the same style
Pac can be timed rather easily, especially from another southpaw
Pac will not be fighting Spence or Porter.Comment

No offense bro, but everyone "didn't know" OLDH was drained, Manny was a massive under dog in that fight because he was coming up 2 WEIGHT CLASSES in his first fight at 147 while ODLH was a career 147-154 fighter.No, the original post was as you see it. I edited and was going on a tangent about hoya and cotto but I know how ****** you fools are so have to keep it simple.
Pacquiao went from 135 to 147 to fight hoya who was coming from lmw and everyone knows hoya was drained, no one denies it. He then went back and fought at 140. Cotto was his first welterweight to test the waters. Just like Margarito was his first jnr middleweight fight.
You have two choices in boxing when moving up weight. Either work your way up slowly by fighting bums to adjust to the weight and power or use a catchweight to even the playing field.
Mayweather wasn’t testing the waters. Again, fought hoya, fought cotto at full 154, held a belt and refused to let him unify without draining.
Playing revisionist history does not help your case. The Cotto catch weight was never an issue and even Cotto to this day says it didn't matter. Only haters make it an issue.Comment

You know Porter was a long time Sparring partner for Pac right? Pac would take that fight in a heart beat because he knows his timing.Comment

You’re right, not the same style as Porter. Manny has a more difficult style. More speed, more power, more angles, more footwork, more ring IQ, more experience, more instinct, more heart, more everything bud.
PAC man PACQUIAO!!!Comment

Its not quite how it went, Oscar had not made 147 for over 10 yrs , he didnt make 150 for Forbes and looked terrible, Manny wanted 145 originally, its all documented, from Roach saying Oscar cant pull the trigger to on seeing the weigh-in and IV marks on Oscar said it wont go 3 rounds.No offense bro, but everyone "didn't know" OLDH was drained, Manny was a massive under dog in that fight because he was coming up 2 WEIGHT CLASSES in his first fight at 147 while ODLH was a career 147-154 fighter.

One the night Oscar was 2lbs lighter than Manny, condition wise he was a ship wreck , it doesnt matter whos fault it was when we are talking about the merit of the win, it was low because Oscar was totally ruined, Manny going up weight classes is only relevant if Oscar was his normal 160lb on fight night as he was with Floyd.
On Cotto you better do some more research on what Cotto had to say about his CW, you sugarcoat what really happened.
At the end of the day Manny beat up hurt and handicapped big name fighters, thats the truth of the matter.Comment
