Would be a close fight Spence to edgeee it Amazing a 40 year old former antweight can compete with a prime natty welter.
Have to favour Spence Jr, Pac is too far past his best, he can't sustain the work rate and intensity he once did, I expect Spence to break him down and stop him late. Pac of course will have his moments probably win at least 4 rounds or more but at this stage of his career a young hungry, physical fighter like Spence is all wrong for him. If this was prime for prime Pac would of chewed Spence up and spat him out, would of been a one sided beat down. But those days are long gone.
I still see something in Pac from his last fight that would make me favor him. But, this last lay off is a long time for anyone, nevermind a 40 year old. I'll still root for Pac cause he's the guy that got me into boxing.
Spence would win at this juncture old Pac is still dangerous but I believe Thurman would’ve beaten him if he didn’t get caught in the first round. Spence is more solid than Thurman.
Pac's team is not going to allow this fight. With Spence back with his strength and conditioning coach Blueray, he will be back to man down status! Spence last fight with Blueray was Ocampo. This is why we haven't seen him KO his last 3 opponents. Wasn't ain't full strength! If this fight get made. Spence by TKO with this version of Pac. Pac hasn't fought in over a year and a half and is getting older. Spence is going to wear Pac down and stop him.
Pacquiao is too busy with his political campaigns to fight anyone now. He won't fight both Crawford and Spence.
Honestly id bet on Pac against Crawford or Spence. The guy hasnt slipped much despite being koed cold and being in many wars. If youre able to beat guys like thurman past prime like pac did that says alot about the Pacs greatness.
Pac has an excellent track record as an underdog so if you like him to win this you better pull for him being the 'dog here. The only time he lost as the underdog was against Floyd, and again they have the shoulder excuse there so it still holds
If Spence is great then he should defeat Pacquiao.. That’s always been the rule for a great prime fighter.. Pac and Floyd beat Oscar, Oscar and Trinidad beat Whitaker, Canelo beat Cotto, Marciano beat Louis, Holmes beat Ali etc.. He and Bud are the only 2 WW who have a shot be great in this era.. A lost to Pacquiao from either guy significantly decreases the value of all WWs in this era..
