    Don't want to see it. Pac is going to get hurt. He should have ridden off into the sunset after Thurman.

    Spence beats pac anyway he wants it. Spence unlike Crawford is a much nicer guy who won't look to give pac a savage beating. With that said he may be perfectly fine outboxing pac to a win like he did Mikey.

    I really like this fight and hope it comes off. This will be a massive event. and huge for boxing the US.

    If the odds are right I could see myself taking Pacman in this one.

    Just saying I’ve heard it mooted from the inside. Pac wants Mega money if it was to hAppen. Double what he gets to fight spence

    canelo is 30 lbs bigger, and fighting at a higher level. nobody involved would want to be part of such a mismatch.

    Don't want to see it. 40-year-olds shouldn't be having two-year layoffs. This reminds me of the Hopkins trajectory, albeit that occurred in his late-40s. Pacquiao can still beat some of the really flawed, sub-P4P title holders like Thurman in the same way Hopkins could beat somebody like Pascal. But stepping it up to the elite guys with fewer technical flaws and even more athletic gifts and skills, it's a clear bridge too far (the comparison being Crawford/Spence and Kovalev/Dawson).

    You said nobody would want to be involved in a mismatch which May weather vs McGregor was. But it did the numbers.

    I’m not saying it’s a certainty. I’m saying numbers talk. If they make the fight at 160 the world would watch.
    Both camps know that.

    not likely to happen just saying I have heard it mentioned

    that wasnt a mismatch. floyd was not at the top of his game, like canelo is, and mac wasnt outweighed by 30 lbs. it was a circus match, not an execution like canelo vs pac would be.

    Spence already admitted that he couldn't stop Mikey. He said he had trouble making weight, which I don't believe him. He just couldn't do it.

    Don't be shocked if Pac's power and speed puts Spence in survival mode. Don't make me list all the guys that ran for survival against Pac, but stood toe to toe with bigger and stronger men.

    :deal:
