    Pac at the moment. MAYBE in a few years spence might prove me otherwise, but for now i feel safe on pac

    I strongly favor Paq because of the wins he already put on tape in his prime. Spence hasn’t had the opportunity to face the level of opponents Manny did so I would have to go with the known commodity.

    Prime Manny would be the favorite obviously, but Spence hasn't hit his peak yet and who knows what he may accomplish or become, but as of today I'd favor Manny.

    Yeah, but Morales was well, well past his best when he faced Pac. In fact, out of his last 6 fights before his first retirement, the only victory Morales had in those 6 fights was against Pac-Man. Also Morales didn't retire after the 3rd Pacquiao bout, he retired after the Diaz bout.

    Well past his prime is an over statement. Besides it is not Pac's fault, it's Morales's conditioning that mattered then.
    Morales did retired then came back for another fight.

    Shame on th IBF for making Ocampo mandatory! What a sick joke on boxing fans, he had never fought a top 20 fighter, so how in the hell did he become mandatory?! He was a dead body for a Spence win. Next time please do not show such mismatches on TV, show the good fights! Hell, Spence/Ocampo, told everyone that this was a joke like Horn, perhaps ever worse! A prime Pac would beat Spence, I can't judge Spence because he has never fought anyone except a badly damaged Brook after Golovkin nearly killed him! Brook has not been the same since..............let Spence fight Crawford right now, ASAP, then fight Porter or Garcia and Thurman after Thurman heals up, but Spence wants to fight Thurman while he is not healed....................Spence could go up and fight Hurd and Charlo for a tuneup fight...........

    Or have we? Maybe this is prime Spence already. IF he faces those guys mentioned above perhaps we will witness a declining Spence.
