42 Year Old Pac Woulda Tore Spence To Pieces...

Pac really did look darn good in training camp. It was the best he's looked in a very long time.

Prime pac would have done Spence worse than Crawford did, and if they fought when they were supposed to, I still would favor pac 8 out of 10 times

 

I also think Pac wouldve been VERY LIVE if the fight happened and based off what we saw w Bud prolly wouldve won.

 

To be fair, we are basing this off of the version of Spence that fought Crawford vs The version of Spence that would've fought Manny. This is a false equivalency.

 

How often we see an old guy look great in training then he cant pull the trigger in the ring.
Pac lost that bounce to his step and was ready to be picked apart.
Lots of talk in hindsight but I still think Spence beats him up badly at that point.

 

Exactly. He ran out of gas against Thurman and nearly gave away the fight, but he supposedly found the fountain of youth at age 42. GTFOH. It's enough to say that prime Pac would have beaten him, but this thread premise is ******ed.

 

That Pacquiao camp was the last time Spence had any life in him and was going to get a decent paycheck to probably retire off.

Then he detached retina which for the majority of boxers is a career ending injury...

 

This is what I remember hearing, at Pacquiao’s age longer recovery is required to embed habits, rebuild the body etc. I was picking Pacquiao to beat Spence. Then I picked Ugas to beat Pacquiao, because of the bold. Also the fact that it was 10 days notice against a style Pacquiao has never looked great against, and obviously the opposite stance. The human body is a machine, you build habits, you can’t suddenly change months of heavy routine drilling in 10 days.

If fans had sense they’d look at the Porter fight and see how easily Porter was lighting Spence up, how he had him off-balance, covered up, Spence left that fight looking like that Martin Lawrence with the swollen head meme, and was stunned a few times by Porter of all people. Pacquiao would’ve beaten him pillar to post, and taken his breaks without much problem as Spence is not great at finding openings as we saw vs Mikey Garcia.

Pacquiao vs Crawford would’ve been a better fight too.

 

Overarching agenda exposes itself. I think that Spence would have beat Pac worse than Ugas did. Would have been sharper coming off a shorter layoff and even hungrier to get a legends scalp no matter how old.

 

Sparring? Lol OK. So because he had trouble while training that automatically means the same Pac man that couldn't better a basic fundamental Ugas, would wreck Spence? I don't think it works that way man.
