Spence will not be weight drained like Oscar was nor will he be past his prime per say. Yes erol had a bad accident but he is working through it. Like I said I haven't really sat down and thought this one through. This week I'm a sit down and review the tale of the tape my friend. Then ill give my educated guess/prediction.
Keith looked like shit vs Paxman and got knocked down. He takes too many lay offs had he fought pac after the garcia win itd a been a diff story. But thats thurmans own fault all these injuries and long lay offs he is no spring chicken anymore. Pac is special not just anyone is gonna beat him even and aged Pac man he still has some left in the tank

many had to go up two weight classes so he was not anywhere near his natural fight weight (at the time), Oscar only went down one so if anyone was at a weight disadvantage, it would be pacquiao. I'll give you that oscar isn't a strong as spence, but he's a better boxer. Spence best boxing demonstration was against Mikey and even then you can see the contrasts in skill between him and delahoya. We've seen big motherfucker trying to outmuscle pacquaio and it doesn't look so good. ask Margarito and cotto who both essentially just planned to punk manny. they ended up looking like potatoes. Spence is even more flat-footed than those two guys. it would be like fighting a statue for manny. And manny's been in the ring with a fighter who hit harder than spence in One Time. People who spar and fought both keith and spence said that thurman is the harder hitting welterweight. should be a dope fight. I'm sure we'll be here for the recap.
