Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Handler: 'Beating Spence Would Be Greatest Win In Welterweight History'

[Bronx2245]

Definitely a Top 25 win EVER in the HISTORY of the sport. For context, Floyd does NOT have a Top 100 win EVER.

The WW division has been ASS since the golden era ~2005-2012ish. Casual fans clung to "WW" because it was previously amazing but once that era passed so too did its talent.

Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Keith Thurman are fringe belt holders against Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Bradley, Provodnikov, Floyd, and Manny. Hell I think the Ricky Hatton that fought Floyd beats all of Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Keith Thurman and probably TKOs Thurman based on his complete inability to take a body shot.

Yes, Manny beating Spence will be INCREDIBLE and a Top 25 win EVER. It is VERY UNLIKELY Manny wins because Spence is too big to be stopped and Uncle Al ALREADY has the scorecards filled out. I mean. . .one of the judges gave Thurman the win against Manny...LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO

This is admirable by Manny but even he wins he'll lose on the cards.

If Floyd beating Oscar and Pacquiao are not Top 100, then I can't see how Pacquiao beating Spence, can be a Top 25 win?

I understand, but do you agree that the majority is using the "eye-test" for Crawford? I don't think any of his opponents were on par with Cotto, Margarito, or Thurman. Do you?

Actually I'd put the Porter that Spence beat a little above the Thurman that Pacquiao beat.

Duran beating SRL is a great win. If PAC can beat Spence it's a special win. Special wins are above great wins.

Says you. You’re arbitrarily downplaying the win solely out of **** slurping. That is pathetic.

Duran beating SRL was both special and great. Manny beating Spence would be same but not better for me given the context of each fight.

Says you.

Duran beating SRL was both special and great. Manny beating Spence would be same but not better for me given the context of each fight.

Duran beating SRL was great but not something history wouldn't expect because Duran was every bit as good as SRL. So 2 guys in prime, someone had to beat SRL why not someone as good as Duran to do it who was in prime.
Someone has to beat Spence also, you'd expect a prime great fighter like bud to be the man. Not a former flyweight with 70 fights under belt at end of career.
PAC beating Spence historically is a greater win. But not for you I get you. You must follow your heart if you have to.

After seeing what Josesito Lopez did to Thurman the fight b4 Keith fought Pacquiao, I have to agree.

Your 1st paragraph illustrates how little you know about the sport.

no it isn’t, no matter how hard you try to make it.

You would never argue any other 42 year old or older beating Spence would be the greatest ww ever. You’re only saying this because you’re a Manny pole smoking f-ckboy.

Leonard is rated in the top five for sure and on many lists he's rated #2 after Sugar Ray Robinson. Spence who I respect as a boxer isn't even close to this,

[AboutBillions]

Keep that Energy when you lose pac and say spense got the best win in history.

[zod66]

Boooooooomb squuuuaaaaaaaaaad

[Liondw]

It would be a brilliant win, but not the greatest. Is Spence at the level of Leonard or Hearns, or Robinson? I don't think so.
