    Compare their Welterweight resumes, even just recently.

    Jesse Vargas would Thrash every single Spence opponent so far. That's just one strange anomaly, Spence gets praised for stopping Algieri, Camper, Peterson??? Remember Lucas Matthysse? Very similar, can argue they came up harder. Spence might be another Victor Ortiz. I mean serious I think Spence is in the fight of his life against Porter. All eyes on Spence one Error will reveal his hand vs Porter.
    Kenny Porter taught Spence boxing.

    Spence threw 1,100 punches at a stationary Mikey who refused to throw and couldn't once hurt him.

    A chance maybe but only a small one. Spence is massive. With significant height and reach advantages. Hes probably coming into his prime now. Pac is still brilliant but Spence could be ready to find another level soon.

    No it's a step too far for the great Manny Pacquiao

    i don't expect him to be overwhelmed, but I don't think he could beat Spence or Crawford at this stage of his career

    Of course he stands a chance, since PAC despite his age is very experienced, so he definitely has the tools to exploit Spence’s weaknesses considering how relatively green Spence still is.

    If Spence goes into the fight underestimating PAC like Thurman and Vargas did he could lose, but I still have Spence as the favorite, since PAC really struggles nowdays to produce good punch volume and he isn’t as accurate with his punches as he used to be, but he’s still a live dog.

    Resumes are not as important as everyone makes them out to be when comparing fighters head to head. Spence is a highly skilled operator with few holes in his game and also holds almost every important physical advantage. Hard to imagine how Pac beats him right now

    Spence threw over 1,100 punches at a stationary Mikey who was afraid to engage and still couldn't do anything.

    Pac has seen every style under the sun. Spence will be shocked by the power, speed, and angles.

    50/50 fight.

    He has a chance against Spence. I don't think he has a chance against Crawford due to how awkward he is. Spence is slower paced and easier to hit i think.

    I’d be worried for his health against Spence

    If Manny takes a page from Floyd and insists on a max rehydration clause (as Floyd did to Winky, which Winky refused), I would give Manny a legitimate shot at winning the fight. Spence is a big Welter and would have a huge weight advantage at his normal fighting weight. Manny is still tough at 40 but the age and weight advantage of Spence might be too much.

    If Spence agrees to a rehydration clause, Manny would be a dangerous opponent. Definitely the most dangerous guy Spence has ever fought. Young Manny beats Spence without any restrictions. It’s really surprising Manny has held up so well and is still beating top guys at his age.

    Garcia fought like a man who wanted to lose 120-108. Hard to put a guy like that away.

    Pacquiao will try and win. That leaves more openings

    If by couldnt do anything you mean won all 12 rounds clearly then yeah you are correct. It was as clear as day Spence was out to prove he could outbox mikey over 12 rounds. He wouldn't have gotten any credit if he got him out of there early because of the obvious size advantage. Pac recently lost to Joe horn and barely squeeked by an inactive Thurman who was always overrated in my eyes. This is far from a 50/50 fight pac has a real chance to be hurt badly if he takes this fight
