    Pacquiao will no doubt wreck Errol Spence. The guy is a limited plodder. Really, I’m not seeing much skills or dynamism from the leadfooted ( behind the wheel and in the ring) Texan. He has poor balance, slow feet, a limited jab, right hand, uppercut repertoire and over rated power. He couldn’t even get midget Mikey Garcia out of there.. Add in his propensity to get party and get drunk ( multiple videos of him drunk on the net) and his laid back unprepared attitude and it looks like Pac will lay this overhyped chump out

    Pacman is ancient in boxing terms. I wish him luck, and he's gonna need it.

    Spence will win a 7-5 or 8-4 type decision

    I think that's a bit unfair on Spence jnr.

    Besides, if he's able to remain unbeaten without training properly, living the life etc...how good would he be if he did?

    The Kell Brook he beat wasn't shot, and that was a good win - away from home too.

    He also has wins over Porter and Garcia.

    I'm not necessarily saying they were the best versions of themselves, but they are still good fighters and he beat them.

    Personally, I see nothing in this for Spence jnr.

    If he wins it's against a well past his best Pacquiao, and if he loses it's against a well past his best Pacquiao.

    The only fight I care about seeing Errol involved in is against Crawford.

    Anything else is just bull****.

    this fight will turn out however spence wants it to turn out. if he wants to ko manny, hes gonna ko manny. if he wants to outbox manny, hes gonna outbox manny. not saying either one will be easy, or that pac wont have his moments, but spence is going to decide how it ultimately goes.

    The Brook win wasn't a very good one for me. Brook struggled big time to make 147 anyway, then had to take off the 160 weight, including muscle, after having his face smashed in. Anything after the GGG fight was a shot Brook imo

    Brave move by Kell, but it cost him his career

    Spence is a thought mofo and a vicious body puncher.
    Can Pac outbox him? Sure, I myself expect him to, at least for the most part.
    But Spence has youth on his side and it´s a good matchup for him.

    Wouldn't shock me if Pac did pull off the upset, from a style perspective Spence is well suited for Pac's style, with his minimal movement, aggressive style, high guard defence and lack of a right hand counter.

    But age catches up to everyone and Spence is relentless. Pac will need to force Spence onto the back foot if he is to not get out worked and I just don't see that happening for the full 12 rounds at this stage of Pac's career.

    I fully expecting Pac to give Spence all kinds of problems, maybe even drop him like he did Thurman, but slowly but surely youth will prevail and Spence will win a hard fought points victory.

    That's some fan talking.No way Pac (at that age) can outbox Spence.Spence is also not easy to KO, so no no no.It won't happen.Sorry, fan.

    Spence isn't a plodder :facepalm:

    He's a stalker that cuts the ring off. His feet are actually fairly educated. He's no speed demon but if you can't tell the difference between a plodder (Jaime Munguia for instance) and a stalker (Spence), somethings wrong.............

    Also: what "plodder" have you seen ever fight effectively at range or moving backwards?
