    like who, nevermind Spence would be far and away the toughest fighter he's ever been in with, yes that includes 38 yr old fmj.

    Spence is 5'9" exactly who are all these ww pacs taken the jab away from ?

    Why is it that people talk about a fighter who is well past his prime as though he is still in his prime? Pac is a shadow of what he used to be. He shouldn't fight another fight. Quit the game, Pacman. Nothing more to prove.

    Pac has fought and tamed his share of beast , boogeymen, crushers. Pac has earned the right to fight bums and tomato cans and should continue to do so. stay away from spence, thurman, porter, crawford nothing to see here folks, move along.

    by all rights and reason the pacman should be retired except for the **** and pillage he suffered at the hands of bob arum after receiving a 100 million dollar payday. pac said after expenses, taxes and fees he cleared 5 million. wtf

    depends how pac looks vs horn... but if you take the pac in his last fight then pac beats spence In a easy fight in my opinion.

    Manny will be 39 years old in December and is way past his best. And Spence has got 4 inches of height on him, 5 inches in reach, and probably at least 10lbs in weight. Spence is yong and hongrey, much naturally bigger and he has a lot less miles on the clock than old man Manny.

    like pretty much everyone hes fought. nobody has the success with the jab that they are used to, when they fight manny. he shoots his right, over your jab, and forces you to reconsider throwing it. tell me what fighter has had a higher jab connect against manny than they are used to and we can look at the stats.
    why would spence be the toughest challenge? because he beat the #3 welter who beat the #5 welter? pac is probably top 30 in the entire history of the sport, and he got there by taking on bigger challenges than a newly crowned 22 yo who has yet to be pitted against a proven commodity. like i said, brook never rose above a #2 ranking in a division (when everything is taken into account).

    At least 10 pounds? Spence would be AT LEAST 15 pounds heavier than Pac on fight night. I'd say 17-19 pounds.

    Pac rehydrates to 149-150 when he weighs in at 147 and 146-148 when he weighs in at 144.

    Still can't see it as a winnable fight for spence even with weight advantage against PRIME PAC. Now, I don't want to see it ! PAC gets hurt

    Agree. But I think Pac does really well until the size difference and youth of Spence takes over.

    It was a conservative estimate by Serge.

    Spence weighed 162 against Philip Lo Greco. That was in 2015 though and it was an above the weight match (above 147). Spence weighed in at 149 at the official weigh in for that one.

    I reckon he probably has 15lbs on Manny but he has a much bigger frame than him. He could probably max out at MW and not look too undersized. imagine Manny up at MW :risas3:

    This would of been a tough but winnable fight for a prime Pacquiao but i think the Pacquiao of today is one that should already be retired. I think his next fight will be his last, he just hasnt accepted it himself yet. Pac of today gets demolished by Spence of today.
