    Manny was also reasonably active going in to that fight. He'd had the Broner and Matthysse fights in the year prior to that one. Now he'll be 42 with close to a 2 year layoff.

    I guess you never know in boxing but that sure sounds like a bad recipe for Pac.

      If anyone can turn it back it is Manny. I think this could be a pass the torch fight. But never count out Manny.

        I'm a big Pac fan but I'm wishing now he had retired after his unexpected win over Thurman. Pac has lost more than a step.

          Would be rooting for Pac and I actually think he would perform better than Danny but Spence will still win.

He is too young, too big, hits too hard and is too good for little very old Pacquiao. I am a big fan of both boxers but this is Spence's time to shine not Pacquiao time.
            But.. But.. This is the most marketable fight in Texas right now for 2021 and money makes the world go 'round.

            I hope it does happen. Also for fans there is no losing here. If Pacquiao wins then we might get a Crawford fight next. If Spence wins he'll get to laugh at Crawford for not getting what he always wanted but never wanted to put the work in for.

              It's a Big Fight I think they always been building up toward that fight on FOX obviously

              Pacquiao can do what he wants it is optional he can take it or leave it, if he leaves it then just drop the WBA Belt and let the younger guys fight over it, Pacquiao is bigger than any Belt and don't need to hold on to one. I think Pacman can beat all these guys it would all depend on Father Time and if Manny can hold him off for one more fight

                Pac's way too old now, plus the long lay offs, he's chancing it. Pac should fight Mikey in May and then call it a night.

                  Spence performed much better than I predicted last week, so props to him for that.

                  I think he would beat Manny, but...

                  Manny has that X factor and he has nothing left to prove to boxing, so he could easily prove all the doubters wrong.

                    What kind of props do you expect for fighting a 42-yr old has been?

                      You actually thought Thurman was going to win that fight?
