Boxing fans are so easy to fool. I didn't even realize how many people out there were picking Mikey until Spence pointed it out in the post fight interviews.

Now it's alot of folks under the illusion that Pacquiao is still an "elite" Welterweight because he dominated 2 140 lb gatekeepers @ 147 :snoop:

Pac beats no one in the top 5 at Welter. And hasn't beaten a top 10 Welter in 3 years.

If we want to get super technical...Pac hasn't beaten a truly elite Welter since 2010.

4 wins over top 5 Welters in 10 years.

2 out of 4 of those wins are against Tim Bradley who had no real Welterweight credentials outside of picking up and defending a paper title a few times.

Spence/Pac is yet another waste of time.

Don't have a problem with Thurman/Pac...just to add further confirmation exactly where Thurman is at before he takes on Spence, Porter (or Garcia) again.

Spence/Porter
&
Thurman/Pacquiao

Should be next.

With the winners facing eachother.

Pac beats no one in the top 5 at welter:mjlol:

The only people u can say Pac can’t beat is Spence and Crawford them the only ELITE welters in my eyes...him and Thurman a 50/50 fight and I’m leaning towards Pac.

Pac is a generational talent. He has slowed down but he still better than most welters.

Pac running thru the Porters and Garcias of the world. :yeshrug:

Pac hasn't beat anybody worthwhile at Welterweight in years. Jeff Horn is the only true natural Welterweight he's faced in recent memory and Pac couldn't even beat him clearly and definitively.

Pac struggles with a poor man's Shawn Porter two years ago...and you think he "runs thru" Porter in 2019 at the age of 40? :heh:

Pac in his current state is actually tailor made for Porter...if Porter fights his fight and doesn't try to box with Pac that is.

I could see a lopsided loss for Pac against Porter.

I'm hoping the line on the fight reflects your opinion if that fight ever takes place...imma clean the fukk up :ohlawd:

Though Manny looked reluctant .. I see Him still taking on Spence on PPV depending on how the numbers come out.. Porter/Thurman 2 seems certain after one more potential Thurman Tune up. And Danny getting a PPV fight on ESPN with Bud. A shame Danny has become slowly become gunshy as he’s moved up in competition at 147.. he hasn’t even been dropped and fought a Broner level of activity against Porter.

Most people watching the fight saw a clear but close Pac win. That shyt was a robbery dnt cap.


I believe the opposite but too bad we might not get to see it..because they trying to match Spence up with Pac.:francis:

I’m glad Spence understood that this is what sells PPVs most times. People need to believe their guy can win and Mikey was the perfect opponent at this point in his career money wise.
