[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21

[Kelvinid]

I thought Pacquiao will have the rematch to May Weather, this is the rematch that I want to watch again,
~snip~

It's not possible because Mayweather has already retired and no plans on coming back.

Manny is still active, hence he can fight any fighter he wants and he is having a big fight where he is the underdog.
We should see this as a big fight than Mayweather fight because this is a toe to toe fight, not a hit-and-run fight.

[harizen]

I thought Pacquiao will have the rematch to May Weather, this is the rematch that I want to watch again, as both boxers are really great and have different skills and ways on boxing, anyway with this fight. Errol Spence has the advantage in terms of age so I think he can show how speed and how strong he is,

Forget it as that wasn't on Mayweather's bucket list.

The only chance you will see them back in boxing is if Manny is retired now and they will put up an exhibition match. Easy money without putting hard tasks on their body.

Spence is a good pick. A popular one and currently in his prime. And age should not be looked at whenever there's a Pacquiao fight as he has already proven that he can deal with the young boxers.

This will be a very good test on Pacquiao's power inside the ring. Spence is relatively young with very good record. With Pacquiao's experience, he has the advantage on this fight, but can he still keep up with younger fighters? This will be a very worth to watch out for. If Pac can still pull this one off, maybe, he will have another big fight before his retirement.

Pacquiao beat Keith Thurman on his last fight. This boxer is also young compare to Pacman, with no loss record and a title holder of WBA SuperWelterweight during the fight. But we all see how Manny gave Thurman a difficult fight, been knockout once (a second on Thurman's career) and finally able to win the fight over split decision.

Spence Jr is a best boxer but Manny can surely handle this young champion. I'm looking forward for Manny to achieved his 23rd times he defeated a title holder.

It's not possible because Mayweather has already retired and no plans on coming back.

Mayweather always has a plan to come back, but not in an official ring anymore but only on exhibition match. I think he has lots on his plan.

We wait until Manny retires and we might see a Pacquaio vs Mayweather 2 lol.

Manny is still active, hence he can fight any fighter he wants

It's not that simple and easy.

Manny is taking advantage of his fight as always now that he is not in his prime. It should be "if the price is right."

Mayweather will not give Pacquiao a rematch, so forget about it as it will not happen. Unless there is too much money in the table for Floyd to not resist. But with the current state of the world financials due to the pandemic, no entity are willing to shell out that kind of money.

Errol Spence has the advantage in terms of age so I think he can show how speed and how strong he is, as he is still undefeated with 27 wins and that is really great record but still we cannot underestimate Manny Pacquiao even though he is already 40, we know how good he is in boxing, I know that he can still give us a good fight between Spence despite with the age gap.

Manny is the real deal, willing to fight anyone, even a young and prime Errol Spence, very dangerous for him. But no one can stop him, he has been in this game for so long that he is not afraid of anyone. Although he can be knock down or knock out by Spence, but Pacquiao is willing to take that big risk.

The rematch would only be something similar to an exhibition. It would be a boxing match for entertainment only.

I reckon the argument between boxing writers will begin to be towards Pacman as the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time if he wins this fight versus Errol Spence. It will make it a certainty if he can win versus Terrence Crawford. Mayweather’s undefeated boxing record will be nothing but only be an undefeated record. Rocky Marciano had an undefeated record, however, not many people know him.

That's not going to happen to be honest, Floyd doesn't want to to do a rematch with Pacquiao, I think this was being organized back then but it seems that both sides don't have any clear answer and only the fans want another fight.

exhibition fight is far different from what they did in the past so if this is just for money then surely Mayweather will do it just for exhibition and no real fight will happen.

this will Happen maybe when they both retired from boxing officially  Because as for now Mayweather has no really plan to face manny pacquiao again.

They can easily have a second fight if they want to, but it seems that the ball is on Floyd's side, he doesn't want any part of Manny even at this stage. He is more concerned of making exhibitions only and non boxer as his opponent. And he doesn't care about his legacy anymore, he is undefeated as a professional boxer and then super rich and easy money fighting exhibitions.

On the other hand, Manny continue to go out and box young fighters like Thurman which he beat and then Spence Jr, a difficult fight.

Floyd vs Manny should be the preferred fight for Pacquiao for there will be a big money involve in this. Floyd had difficulty fighting Manny in the first fight he doesn't want that to happen when he has to constantly duck Manny's punches. Floyds also has to maintain his zero loss for his reputation while Manny doesn't care about it, he already overcome' the worse with his 4th fight with Marquez.  With Manny's age, this is a very risky fight, this unification fight so may the winner be undisputed.

Oscar De La Hoya is backing Pacquiao to win against Spence or even Crawford.

https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2146319377254/de-la-hoya-spence-loses-to-pacquiao-and-crawford

By Chris Williams: Oscar De a Hoya says Errol Spence will lose to Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford due to their technical ability. De La Hoya states that Pacquiao’s speed and mobility will be too much for Spence (27-0, 21 KOs). Oscar’s reasons for picking Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs) over..

What can you say about his opinion?
For me, I will agree as he fought with Manny before and he recognizes Manny's speed and volume of punches.

[freedomgo]

He knows better, De la Hoya was the heavy favorite in their fight but Manny just dominated him, he has no answer on the speed of Manny that's why he choose to not continue the fight. Manny is special, anyone with an honest mind would say he is not easy to defeat, yes Spence is big and young, but Manny is the smarter boxer in the ring, he would win, I go with De La Hoya's opinion.

If only Manny Pacquaio is 32 then i could say that Errol Spence have no chance of winning against Manny.

On the fight against Thurman, the deterioration of endurance was very evident and if not for that knockdown, Manny could have lose that one.

We can only speculate here as a boxing fans and it's good to see that boxing celebrities have taken their side on this fight, adding some spice and hype that could draw more people to watch on PPV.

I like it when both boxers have believers, and though Manny is the underdog in this fight, he still has fans that believe in him. De la Hoya's statement is huge, but it's not only him who fought Manny, Bradley also fought Manny, and this time he sides Spence to win.

[dothebeats]

Manny has been introduced as the underdog for this fight against Spence. Perhaps most bookies are basing on current world rankings rather than raw speed and strength, as it is really hard to know the latter considering that Pacquiao hasn't been in the ring since 2019 after his fight against Thurman. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if Pacquiao still manage to make Spence Jr. work hard for the win, as he is still a technical fighter that possess impressive speed despite his ripe old age in terms of boxing longevity.

I'm doubtful that Pacquiao can land a K.O., but damn sure that he can still last 12 rounds of non-stop boxing with a man 10 years younger than him.

[Sanitough]

I'm doubtful that Pacquiao can land a K.O., but damn sure that he can still last 12 rounds of non-stop boxing with a man 10 years younger than him.

That would be a big win by him if he can make it, Spence needs to KO Pacquiao if he wants to win in the decision, in terms of technique, Manny should win by the judges score that's why it's important Spence should be the one who is the aggressor.

The fight between Pacquiao vs Thurman is still fresh in my mind, I don't really see something special on Spence aside from his strength but if it's based on strategy, most likely Pacquiao will get the victory.

[Taskford]

~snip

Maybe he didn't do a high intensity training but for sure he include exercise and other physical activities that can increase his stamina and other physical attributes so we shouldn't worried about that since the main issue here is his focus, Manny is politician now and his campaigns or other upcoming political activities can possibly bother him to focus on his upcoming fight.

That could be a good excuse if he is a good politiician but I don't seem to see any bills that was authored by him and he is also has the most absences in all of the Senators plus I really don't think that he knows what he is doing politically. He is a good boxer but he is no Muhammad Ali in terms of contribution to the society.

Not a fan of Pacquaio in politics but he actually did a good contribution on helping the poor before but I don't know whay happen to him right now as he likes eaten already by his ambition to became a president of Philippines. An if the case if he really pursue his candidacy maybe best for Filipino people to think twice upon voting him.

Also here are the few laws pass by him check below

This is a huge win for Spence if he can Knock off Pacquaio since imagine he take down the legendary for sure his rank and popularity will increase after this.

True, because most fans do not consider the KO loss of Manny against Marquez was a good one, they will always think Marquez just got lucky. If Spence will KO Pacman, I guess that would send Manny to retirement, a thing that Thurman promise but failed to do to him.

I like it when both boxers have believers

That's just balancing the atmosphere when somebody believes on the other and the others believing the other boxer too.

and though Manny is the underdog in this fight, he still has fans that believe in him.

Manny has always been one of the living legends now and many are believing on his might and experience. Underdog or not, expect that the fans will come to support him whether the opponent is that too strong for him because in his past fights, that's not a new situation that he's been with.
