Mikey Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao!!!

[Chuckguy]

Now let's hear all the f@gs start whining that Spence only fights smaller guys. I know its coming because very few are boxing fans, just fanboys. Garcia is asking for it Spence will oblige. An easy paycheck.

So when Martinez and ggg asked for it with Floyd why was it such a huge deal? Your logic is pathetic. The smaller guy calls out the bigger guy hey he has to oblige but when the smaller guy who brings in all the money gets called out by a guy one weight class above where he has already fought its bs ans bulkt just picking on smaller guys lmfao

Well there is always a chance to land a Pacquiao fight as he is another champion belt holder. It will also be a big name to add to Spence’s ( or Crawfords) resume. It's obvious Spence and Crawford want to milk and marinade a fight between them so why either one of them arent calling out the pacman at this point is beyond me. Its a good fight for the both of them.

Be serious.

There is no way in hell that Pacquiao fights a young, hungry lion like Spence.

He won't even fight Terence Crawford and they have had the same promoter for a long time.

I honestly think that Mikey is smart for taking on Spence, if he loses, he went up two weight classes to fight Spence, if he wins, he's a genius.

NO! match ups like this throws off the landscape of Boxing. That is why we have DIVISIONS!

Spence Jr should fight Yordenis Ugas in December then the Winner of Garcia vs Porter in a unification

as for Micky, Loma should be priority #1 that cements his legacy ALL TIME at 135 they BOTH should be demanding that fight

It's funny, Spence said something like that himself Saturday during the interview. Interesting that the article left that out. He was talking about how he's too big and strong for Mikey, and that's why they have divisions. I heard him suggest he would take the fight if they could make it, but I must have missed the part where he said he was licking his chops.

The reason it sucks is because in each of the cases-GGG/Brook, Khan/Canelo, Loma/Rigo and IF Spence/Mikey gets made-there are quality fights that are in the division that are not a happening.

It isn't a good thing when fighters take guaranteed losses for paydays as a way to avoid tough fights in their respective division that might not make as much money.

None of these are "dare to be great" IMO. It's feels more like "overpaid to lose and keep my title or my division ranking".

No doubt, I completely agree with you, it sucks because Spence should be looking to fight Crawford, Garcia vs Porter winner or Thurman instead of a fight like Garcia. Sorry, but I can't give Mikey any sort of chance to win, I mean the guy is taking on one of the best WW in the division and has never fought at WW, it'll be a tough task for any fighter let alone a LW moving up to WW.

These fights always end up being beneficial for the promoter and the bigger name but doesn't do anything for us as fans or moving the division forward.

No sir. I see Pac fighting either or both. He is a champion belt holder and other champs will want to unify the belts. It is only a matter of time. Spence and/or Crawford fighting Mikey is merely a money making prize fight. And like others have stated, there are plenty of other fights and better fights for these guys within their division.

Easy paycheck for both (Spence/Garcia) don't get it twisted. Mikey's plan is to takeover "Cinco De Mayo" & "Mex Independence Day" dates.

He will have to wait until about 2020 then while all his injuries heal from getting destroyed by a full fledge powerful and talented WW in Spence. He's biting off way more than he can chew.
