Old lion vs. young lion.
Pacquiao hasn't fought another southpaw before. Is Pacquiao still good enough to win, or is Spence just too big and strong?

I don't think it happens. At this stage, Pac is no longer interested in taking real fights! And Spence is a problem for anyone at that weight
Never gonna happen. If it did, Spence wins easily.
Spence is not the next great messiah but if fighters keep avoiding him then people believe he is.
Spence needs to prove he is the best yet.
How's he gonna do that if champions avoid him when he's worked his way into the mandatory position?Quote:

Yes Mr Spence is in a tough spot.
Many fans don't know him or acknowledge him as a legit threat because he hasn't beaten any big names.
But he can't beat any big names because the big names won't fight him! ;D
It's a vicious circle that some guys end up in. GGG, Paul Williams, they were both in this spiral!
This is an interesting match. I'm very high on Spence and think that he should win, but pac is still a very good fighter and is a veteran. He has so much experience. Spence will have seen nothing like pac but pac has been in with the best of them on multiple occasions.
My gut tells me Spence but I wouldn't at all be surprised to see pac win. Would love for this fight to happen but it won't.
I'm all in on Spence and I hate Kool Aid most of the time. But this kid is the real deal just waiting on the opportunity.
I would love Floyd to take on Spencer for his 50th. Love it!
Horrible match up for Manny, especially at this point of his career. The worst combination for an older fighter to face is a young, athletically gifted/speedy, and (most importantly) MUCH larger fighter. This would be like Meldrick Taylor vs Terry Norris: Spencer is likely as fast as Pac right now, and his size/strength advantage can easily result in a blowout. Better for Pac to face a Garcia/Thurman than an explosive/athletically gifted Spence.
Pac isn't about that action anymore.
who was/has been hyped more as the second coming? Spence or Bute?
Berto :)Quote:

Berto was just a good welterweight :)
Bute was overrated. I thought he was good for sure, but we knew that he had chin/stamina issues. If Spence ends up having a really weak chin then he might end up being derailed by someone, but we will have to wait and see.
