    Thats your opinion. The Pacquiao that fought Cotto and De La Hoys would trash Thurman and lose no rounds. He wasn't more hittable. Also Pacquiao was 40 and significantly slower. Mayweather was a little past it as a welterweight but not that much against Canelo at 36. He looked no different from the Mayweather against Robert Guerrero

    You clearly didn't read the article.

    There are several things older Pac has over his younger self. It's as obvious as night and day.

    As for Spence vs younger Pac, as I've said younger Pac was worse on defense and would run into a ramrod jab and a very durable boxer puncher setting up all kinds of traps.

    You need to get your eyes checked then. Pac was like 80% offense when he was younger. I literally just posted a video proving he had worked on his defense and strategy to beat Morales and he has continued to improve since then.

    So I went off topic (but not really since you were talking about Pac-Ugas) — nonetheless, why then did you bother responding?

    I'm not sure why Pac beating a on Ugas triggered you and had your sensitive vagina rupturing.

    But you already acknowledged that the winner can take a beating, so you can now **** off like the little ho that you are.

    :deal:

    No I did...it's talking about 2014 Pacquiao...the version that beat Rio's and Vargas.

    You are holding Pacs losses against horn and ugas against him but saying the version that beat Thurman is the better version of Pacquiao?

    The article is shite...and appears made to talk up Pacquiao v3.0 having the beat chance against Mayweather...when most people with eyes would favour Pacquiao 2.0 as the version that woulda been the one most likely to give Mayweather problems....win.. probably not...but best chance absolutely.

    And ramrod jab.. durability and traps.....Spence struggled with porter...who while strong with a good workrate and durable ...isn't half the fighter of a peak pacman..like I said .your entitled to your opinion but...Jesus lol

    I'd like to hear how Spence beats ray Leonard as well...he was my first pick to beat Spence...you have it as 50/50.....or what has convinced you that Spence can compete here ...

    No I am not saying older Pac is better than younger Pac. I'm saying the older one does some things better and the younger one does some things better. They're apples and oranges.

    Like if you compare young Foreman to old Foreman.

    The chances they give Pac against Mayweather are irrelevant to the conversation. They accurately track the progress Pac has made improving his technique. The idea Pac is exactly the same fighter for the last 10 years is absurd.

    Porter isn't as fast as Pac but is a lot more rugged and has many tools Pac doesn't have. These forced comparisons are just a lazy way of trying to claim Spence would lose because he fought a guy that's supposedly similar to Pac and struggled. That's ABC logic and overlooks many factors.

    I said I wasn't sure about the matchup. If he beats Crawford it'll be a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

    You did exactly the same....you brought up Pac losing to horn and ugas... trying to set up your own triangle theory .except your using the worst welterweight version of Pacquiao

    Otherwise you wouldn't have brought up Pacquiaos losses to them...it's dumb... because noone in their right mind would think that version of Manny...is the one that should be compared... You've said Spence is a top 10 all time head to head monster .

    And people have been picking people they think would beat him. So if you think Spence is that monster that will beat most of welterweight history...you put him in with the best version of them in their welterweight history...you wouldn't put

    Spence Vs the Pacquiao of the ugas fight
    Spence Vs the de la Hoya of the Pacquiao fight
    Etc

    And if this wasn't what you meant..why bring up fights at the end of his career in the first place?

    How many times are you going to move the goal posts? First it was Spence was better than every guy who beat Manny. Then it moved to they had to have been a welterweight. Now it’s they had to have been a welterweight when they fought Manny.

    Well no, I wasn't making a triangle theory. I'm saying the strategies the guys who beat Pac used, Spence could use. He was better boxers than they were. He also hits harder than the men who dropped Pacquiao. That's not a triangle theory, that's a fact.

    Pac didn't face much resistance when he steam rolled through a drained washed up Oscar or Margarito. It's like how Ali steam rolled through Cleveland Williams, the fights are a nice spectacle but they don't tell us much. Spence would be a far greater challenge than the guys 08-09 Pac faced.

    I brought up Pac in the latter stages of his career because he was a welterweight in the latter stages of his career. The thread is about the best h2h fighters at welterweight so why the hell would I be discussing how Pac looked against Morales or Barrera?

    Goofy as sh*t LOL. Pacquiao was not better at 40 years old. You're pulling all the stops to try and prove that an ancient much slower Pacquiao with less gas tank was a superior fighter to the one that ripped Apart De La Hoya and Cotto

    All of this just to support your ridiculous argument that Spence is top 10 H2H. De La Hoya in his prime certainly beats Spence, Hearns busts him up and stops him, Mayweather outboxes him in a competitive fight, Duran outworks and outskills him in the pocket, Leonard jabs his face off, Felix Trinidad KO's him, Ike Quarty beats Spence with the jab, Sugar Ray Robinson works him, Miguel Cotto dogs him, Shane Mosley overwelms him, prime Donald Curry picks him apart and might even stop him. Spence could end up being an ATG and H2H he's decent. But with a division as historically deep as welterweight i do wonder how you dont see the immense overrating of Spence in your posts

    I said the same thing from the beginning. The thread is about the best h2h welterweights. Then you claimed I said Manny only fought at welterweight which was a total lie and you finally backed off. Why would I compare Spence to people who fought Pac at a division other than welterweight? Those fights are irrelevant. When I was debating Spence vs Duran and George Crawford brought up how Duran looked against Hagler I said the same thing, I told him that fight was irrelevant since it wasn't at welterweight. I've been consistent in this entire thread.

    You have horrendous reading comprehension. :lol:
