    I like Spence in a hard fought decision. Even a Pac in his twilight presents far more problems than Mikey. Pac is a whole different animal even near the end.

    Pac too old, but better Spence than Crawford. Spence would keep it civil and see him out the door. Crawford would take pleasure in hurting him.

    Wouldn't be anything like the same beating but Spence has too many advantages.

    Really really hope this fight doesnt happen.

    Spence wins 8 rounds to 4 imo.

    Would contain its fair share of rough moments for Pac towards the 7th and 8th rounds.

    The very notion that Pac would even entertain the thought of actually taking this fight shows how much of a warrior he is.

    Spence sends him paccing to the retirement home. Definitely a step too far.

    Spence late round stoppage or clear decision. Pac would be dangerous early on in the fight but I don't think is stamina is anywhere near what it was. If he had a gas tank, I think he could actually beat Spence. But not now. Pac will probably nick a couple of the early rounds but will either get walked down late or lose a decision.

    I'd like to see Spence have to fight moving backwards, he might not be able to do it. Pac probably wouldn't be the one to exploit completely but Hurd definitely could. But than again, maybe Spence can fight off his backfoot. He really hasn't shown it though so far in his career.

    And then when Pac actually beat Spence, some will say Spence is over rated, B class, drained, etc., excuses

    The interesting thing in all this is that Mikey just showed how hard it actually is to jump multiple weight classes. And now the only guy in the running to do it is the oldest guy out there. It's come full circle lol.

    Spence will take Pacquiao out in the late round. No doubt about it. Spence is bigger, taller, and younger than Pac. Besides, Spence has a granite chin. He can take Pacquiao best shots without a flinch. Believe me.

    Bridge too far a 40 year old PAC.

    PAC that smashed Margarito back in the day, stops Errol....not today's PAC.

    Why not? I mean, there are better options, of course, but if Thurman is not ready, Crawford is, well, not available, and Porter doesn't really want it, why not Pac?
