    Thurman off injury and layout, Broner off jail, Matthysse off KO loss and so on, I think Spence off car accident, jaw replacement and intensive care fits with bill. Ain't no way he was choosing Crawford, but you know what? He earned to pick and choose.

    Pac signed the contract for the Crawford fight and spent a long time waiting for that fight to pull through.

    Thurman got a tune-up. Yeah, he was rocked, but otherwise schooled a tough contender 10 rounds. And Pac fought a Thurman that was more active than the version Porter and Danny fought.

    Lucas stopped Taylor who had never been stopped before and then he KO'd some Thai guy, so Pac fought Matthysse coming off of 2 wins.

    Spence looked brilliant in putting a beating on Danny. Showed zero negative effects from the car accident.

    Come with facts, girl.

    Are you seriously suggesting Pac is cherrypicking Spence?

    One could argue he should have already faced Crawford before the crash.

    I think he sees that even though E-Spence has barely fought any punchers he still pulls ''Ouch! That hurt!'' faces when he gets caught

    Rule #1. You never pull ''Ouch! That hurt!'' faces

    You must remain poker-faced at all times

    If you pull ''Ouch! That hurt! faces in the animal kingdom, on the streets, a young offenders' institution, the penitentiary, or in any correctional facility or place of detention you're toast, trust me I've seen it happen a million times. Manny is older than Methuselah's father but as any fellow apex predator or OG knows, an OG never loses their ability to identify fear, vulnerability and weakness and Manny has obviously seen something in him, downloaded all the data and processed it and believes that he still has enough gas left in the tank to tame this hungry young lion even though he's a senior citizen who is way past his best and has been in more wars than 1000 armies and his body is covered from head to toe with war wounds and battle scars.

    I think Arum protected him for Terence or something like that?

    You are using a word of different meaning in the wrong context, but if you think cherry picking means that Pacquiao can and does choose whoever he goddamn wants based on his position and the opponent's strengths, weaknesses & monetary compensation, you've already answered your own question since he's literally doing that.

    Are you suggesting that grass is green and the sky is blue?

    First, do some fact checking and then edit your post.

    Why is Spence cashing out like this?

    It could be as simple as Pac seeing how Porter nearly beat Spence and Thurman, and Porter used to be Pac's sparring partner so he feels this is winnable based on how Porter did and the fact Pac beat Thurman. I am surprised he chose Spence and I think he is going to get hurt

    A part of this is he's still, on some level, the plucky kid from GenSan who believes he has to work twice as hard as the next guy to be successful and can't rest on his laurels.
