    I think Pacquiao would cause problems for Spence. I think Crawford is tougher because he can throw more unorthodox shots and has more variety in his arsenal.

    I agree. Much better for him to fight Spence than Crawford. Although Crawford is not invincible either. At this point I would have Pacman a slight favorite against Spence, and a very slight dog against Crawford.

    I would have Pac as the under in both fights but id be a bit concerned if im Spences people. We dont know what his mental state is after his accident and I would absolutely not put him in against Pac first. No frisking way! Just look at what happened to Thurman coming off of not only injury but imho Thurman lost his fire when he got married. I dont think he has it anymore and I dont expect much out of him.

    Yeah be would. Spence hasn't fought anyone who moves in and out and side to side like that before.

    Wishful thinking. Pac think the accident has affected Spence. Spence is going to come back stronger than ever and unify another belt! Pac don't have the stamina anymore at this age. Spence is going to be all over Pac with body shot after body shots.

    Choosing Horn, Broner & Matthysse begs to differ- his team doesn't think he can beat the active young fighters. Thurman was a decent choice, but then again an inactive fighter injury prone sends the message they weren't looking to fight the best anymore. I'd be shocked to hear Arum, Roach or Pac mention Spence or Crawford.

    I think Crawford would be easier. I saw his 3rd KD from a B class fighter. Pacquiao could do more damage than that.

    Spot on. Pac of late doesn't take fights that's too dangerous for him.

    The pre-accident Spence would beat the **** outta Pac going to his body and stop him. We don't know how much Spence has left after his accident. So yeah if he's not the same Pac could beat that version.

    Why make excuses for Thurman? Pac was/is a semi-shot part time boxer and was much smaller.

    Like he beat the **** out of lightweight Mikey who barely threw punches? And since you're mentioning Spence's accident, why don't you mention that Pac is much smaller, 41 years old, a part-time boxer, and almost shot?

    I can’t fathom any scenario (barring Spence having legitimate brain damage or lingering physical issues) in which Manny beats Spence.
