Is Manny Pacquiao Fighting Errol Spence The Most G Move In Boxing History...???

SRL was 31 when he was fighting Hagler

 

Good point. Layoff, injury, and weight were big factors there, though.

 

Nah. Lots of guys have bitten off more than they could chew. Sam Langford fought Harry Wills. Mickey Walker fought Max Schmeling.

 

28 pounds of senior citizen loose skin, Only 2 inches taller, Setting a record fighting a Champion 20 years younger than him winning his 1st championship over 20 years before that.

Paquiao just came off a 2 year rest.

 

It's up there but could name a few things I consider greater. But in recent times (past 20 years) it's definitely right up there, especially if he does manage to win.

Floyd Mayweather (almost 37) beating undefeated Canelo Alvarez (almost 24) is still above that. However if Pacquiao wins we'll have something to discuss.

 

Absolute massive cajones from pac.

I fear spence really does some damage especially in the 2nd half of the fight.

But huge credit to pacman for taking the fight when there are mich easier options out there that maybe dont pay as much.

 

You also have Duran-Barkley and Mantequilla-Monzon. Those are pretty bad ass, but what sets Manny apart is that he doesn't need this. His legacy and financial status is secure and he could still make very good money fighting someone like Mikey and lots more if he went the Youtuber route, so he's doing this just for glory and love for the battle. Doesn't get more badass.
