What if Manny moved up to fight Cory Spinks for IBF Jr. middleweight title?

    I'm sure Manny would have knocked out Cory. Just imagine - former flyweight champion KO's current jr. middleweight champion :good

    Too much of a climb in weight for Manny, though I've no doubt he would prevail.

    Spinks would be too big IMO.
    But he is past it now and Manny is incredible,been proving me wrong for a long time but I'd doubt he'd beat Spinks.

    And you're right, it would be ridiculously incredible.

    I've no doubt whatsoever that Pac could whip many contending Welters at this point and perhaps a few Jr. Middles.

    I know, I've branded myself as a ******* for this one. :lol:

    Cory Spinks is very good boxer, but he lacks power and his chin isn't great.

    I'd like to see his fight vs Manny. I doubt Cory can take such bombs without going down.

    If my man Judah who was a slick Southpaw in his day KO Spinks I'm sure Pac would do a number on him!

    he would beat spinks imo..no way feather fisted spinks would hurt him. He'll just attack relentlessly until spinks probably tires out or the ref stops the bout. His defense won't help him either

    Because Chavez Jr. sucks, and frankly he doesn't increase the fanbase at all. Not that Spinks does either, but at least a Spinks fight would be for another title, and at this point Pac seems to be on a quest to be remembered as the best of all time. But Chavez's fan base (hardcore Mexican boxing fans) 100% overlaps with Pacquiao's fan base, so I don't see how he would bring significantly more money to the table.
