    I agree with Spence UD it will be a close fight with Spence taking over in the later rounds due to his youth and strength probably a close decision. I don't think this kills anything for Pacman even if Spence shuts him out people will still pay to see fun fights with him against Mikey, Loma, and McGregor which he can make a lot of money with. I don't think Pacman will fight Loma though Lomas already a little small at 135 and Pacman probably wouldn't wanna cut all the way down there for that kind of fight. With Mikey and McGregor he can stay at 147 for big paydays. I do find it pretty crazy how Pacman wants to fight Spence rn one of the top fighters P4P in the world while Floyds having an exhibition with Logan Paul lol.

    This will be like Hagler Duran..
    Spence will respect Pac early and probably nip and tuck till championship rounds where Spence is a little fresher and have more push..
    I do hope it happens.. great fight.. they don’t have to find each other.

    Pac seems like he wants to go for greatness. However, Spence will be unifying and adding that WBA title to his waist. Spence is too strong and his endurance is going to be too much for Pac to handle at this point. I can see this fight being a TKO from Pac's team throwing in the towel. Spence is finally getting back with his strength and conditioning coach and his old nutritionist. Spence parted ways with Blueray after Ocampo fight. When he had Blueray strengthening and conditioning him, he got all KO's. His three decisions with Mike, Porter and Garcia was without Blueray.

    Pac ain't no fool, you see he called out Spence and not Crawford. He wasn't as much impressed as he saw something he could possibly exploit.

    Exactly! That's also why he wanted to fight Thurman, Thurman didn't looked good against Lopez that's why he wanted the fight.

    Damn I thought he was pushing it taking on Thurman at his age but going for a young gun like Spence has to be commended, the man is fearless.

    But having said that, if there is anytime to take him on it's now, he didn't look 100% vs Garcia, faded a little from the 8th round on wards as he started taking parts of the rounds off. So it's also smart of Pac to look for the fight now as Spence may never be as vulnerable as he is right now.

    But you have to favour Spence, Pac isn't the same fighter at 42, he did well vs Thurman but Spence is a much tougher task. I'd favour Pac prime for prime, think he'd dominate Spence but not now. Would be one hell of a story if he could pull it off or even get close, but Spence will be too much at this point in his career.

    If he saw something he can exploit against Thurman and now Spence, I guess he also saw something he could exploit in Crawford........because according to Arum and Bud himself Pac was supposed to fight him were it not for the pandemic situation in the Middle East, right?

    Just really wish he had done this a few years ago... I love manny, guys a warrior.. But any time he steps into the ring now could be that time he looks old.. I thought it'd be thurman... I was wrong, I dunno why but I fancy him to beat Crawford... I really do... Or at least feel like he has a better chance... Spence.... I can't see it

    I didn't realize this was the date of FMJ's circus sideshow until a few minutes later. Well done. I approve.
