    "Errol is straight up the most perfect fighter right now in dismantling an older version of Manny Pacquiao."

    Errol can beat him in multiple ways, literally, layers after layers of plans can be implemented to take advantage of the older Pacquiao if the other one won't work. All of it can end up for Manny really bad.

    1. Let's start with the Jab, Errol has the most phenomenal jab in the welterweight right now. This alone makes it hard for the fans to think if Pacquiao will ever get past to it.

    If Pacquiao can miraculously solve Errol's jab somehow, we go to another layer.

    2. Work rate, Pressure and Stamina. Errol is known for his toughness, unlimited stamina and incredible work rate--something that the old Pacquiao clearly didn't have it anymore. If Spence choose to unleash it, Pacquiao will be dealing with a thousand of debilitating punches raining on him--to the body and head, forcing him to expend even more of whatever precious energy left from him evading Errol's jabs earlier.

    Again if Pacquiao can miraculously solve this cruel onslaught, then Errol can opt for his last resort.

    3. This time Errol will use his Massive body to rough him up, very much like Jeff Horn except Errol is even more powerful physically than Jeff and at this moment Pacquiao has nothing left anymore.

    ***Listen I've got nothing against Manny Pacquiao, I've laid the work as objective as I can. If however, I was proven wrong and Pacquiao can pull off this impossible task, I will give him an equal credit.

    Don't think Pacquiao would take this fight if he didn't feel he could beat this guy or have a solid workable game plan he believes in. Pacquiao has stayed away from Canelo and GGG for a reason.

    Gotta favor Spence but you can't disregard Pac's chances. Ever. He's proven that more than once.

    If Spence loses this, Era is weak as ****. Has all the advantages.

    So basically what you're saying is Pacquiao has virtually no chance in winning, that Spence will surely make him look amateurish or old from the moment the bell rang to, if I may deduce correctly, "whenever and whatever way Spence chooses to KO Pacquiao".
    So if I'm following this same reasoning, if Pacquiao makes it competitive, he's clearly the GOAT for you then, because, according to you, there's clearly NO CHANCE that Pac will even get his moments since Spence is the terminator reincarnated in boxing?

    Man I gotta love bumping these threads once Pac very quickly solves Spence's supposed world class jab and supposed world class pressure fighting style.
    Me personally, I wouldn't give Pac as much credit if he pulls this one off as much as you do because of some fundamentals:
    1. Between two southpaws, the one with the better footwork OR a solid right hand counter hook or left hand counter over the top of the jab will completely nullify the other person's jab. Pac has both.
    2. Pacquiao has time and again feasted on pressure fighters. FEASTED. Let me remind you of the aftermath of that "win" of Horn over Pac:

    https://www.couriermail.com.au/spor...p/news-story/495d1b45e2d0b850fe3aad3228bb7405

    So yeah, I think Pac can win. I think Pac will either seriously hurt or knock Spence down at least once. I think Spence will receive the most amount of left hands and right hooks to his face and body as he continues to attack and back up in straight lines, which, again, are the kind of opponents that Pac feasts on. I think people will realize just how great Pac's footwork is and how Spence is just a weight bully and nothing compared to the likes of FMJ of Pac.
    The more I study Spence's habits and recent fights, the more I understand why Pac took this fight. Unless father time caught up with him, this is definitely a toss up fight.
    So no, I don't agree with you and Pac won't be the GOAT in my book even if he beats Spence. He'd probably make top 10 P4P ATG in my list, but see I see more chances than you do so I won't argue against you placing him as GOAT if he pulls off this win.

    Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Pac beats Spence. People make threads like this literally every time PAC has fought over the last few years.

    They all think they’ll do this and that to him until they get in the ring and get hit.

    Spence and Crawford should be fighting each other instead of raiding graveyards in the Philippines hunting for the ghost of a legend. Both of them deserve to be removed from the P4P top 10 for ducking each other and depriving the fans of this fight for so long. In fact, I'm officially removing both of them from my top 10 and any fighters who train in their gyms or who are even on remotely friendly turns with them are taking a bump down in the rankings from the respective divisions they campaign in too due to association with that pair of prima donnas because it's an absolute disgrace it hasn't happened yet and a huge indelible stain of both of them and the fact it's taken a near 43 y/0 inactive senior citizen who hasn't stepped foot in a ring for two whole years to step up to the plate to show these supposedly young hungry lions how it's done is an even bigger stain on their character or rather lack thereof.

    but when pac signed to fight thurman, i said it would be easy work for pac. and ive seen correctly every pac fight all the way back to floyd, which i called wrong. and ive called correctly every spence fight since he beat algieri. even if the same pac that i picked to make easy work of thurman shows up, spence is gonna beat him.

    At least Spence signed the contract. Crawford hid the pen in his vagina, told someone to get him a pen, went to the bathroom, and escaped through the window.
