Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr- The best versions

Pacquiao vs Thurman was a classic contest, featuring Pacquiao against an undefeated champion, similar to the scenario of this fight against Spence Jr. In 2019, Keith Thurman was confident about retaining his world title. However, ‘Pac-Man’ unleased his aggression in a clinical showdown. Going to the distance, the Filipino legend secured the win via decision and became the WBA welterweight champion.

It came after his sensational win against Adrien Broner in the same year. Although Pacquiao could have defended the belt, the Covid-19 outbreak wrecked all his plans. It even cost him the title as WBA stripped him. Nevertheless, the Senator of the Philippines is back, looking for another shot at the gold.

Well, the Errol Spence Jr. that fought Kell Brook had similar features, maybe with more precision. Akin to Pacquiao vs Thurman, Spence Jr, vs Brook saw both the fighters test each other in 2017. However, ‘The Truth’ stopped Kell Brook with a sensational KO in round 11.

It was Spence Jr’s first title win, and he grabbed the IBF belt in style. It has been a fairy tale ride for him since then. The American pugilist has defended the belt five times, adding the WBC title to his shoulder as well. As he is now on the brink of facing Pacquiao, we can expect to see ‘The Truth’ in his best version.
