Pac fought plenty of opponents who were worse than Spence. I don't recall any of them being hospitalized in a critical condition. Stop with the wild hyperboles.
That's pretty much sums up my view on this too. Spence's style is reliant on his physicality, he won't be a guy that can move up in weight and beat bigger men. He's good at what he does and his style works for him but it has it's limits. Pac would of dominated Spence in his prime like he did Cotto and Margarito but at 42 it's a big ask for Pac to do what he was able to do in his prime.
Cash grab? 42 yr old coming in the ring to fight arguably the best WW in the world who is 10+ years his junior? And what's wrong with grabbing cash anyway? It IS called prize fighting. This isn't the amateurs. Do you want them to fight for free?
In the late 2000s into the very early 2010s every single Pac opponent checked into the hospital post fight.
Yes but it's called conning the fans (you know the guys who directly/indirectly fund fighters careers) and robbing of them of legit prime vs prime contests. Why do the fans get fed this kind of mismatch trash? The fans collectively devote time, money etc to watch their favourite fighters only to be trashed on with a consistent flow of **** mismatches /50 - 50 fights. That's basically fraud
Loads of fighters do after a fight to check for concussions etc, especially if they've been knocked out.
Well we're going to have to agree to disagree. Many boxing people anticipate a competitive fight, some think Pac is going to get killed, some think he'll win. But it's not a fraud because you know what you're getting. Josh/Jake Paul vs anyone is mismatch trash. This isn't, IMO.
Spence is much, much better than you think. You has boxing skills, power, chin and a solid inside game plus is strong at the weight. He's an elite fighter. Not the most dynamic guy ever, but he's elite.
I can't take you serious when you refer to Spence as a plodder. You're a better poster than that stop!
Hes exactly the kind of guy that would be tailor made for a prime Pac. Even now Pac could still give him trouble. Pac used to have problems with guys who had iron chins and big accurate right hands. Like Marquez or Morales. A guy who who has no reliable right hand like Spence and tries to pressure him is food for Pac. You cant pressure Pac or stick and move against Pac. You have to get his respect and the only way to do that is land a hard, clean right hand.
A prime Pac would have problems with Spence a prime pac had problems with Bradley who's no where as good as Spence.
Horn did go to the ICU. A fit and fully hydrated Horn was out on his feet in the 9th. Fight could have easily been stopped.
