Pacquaio wants Spence Jr. next for three-belt-superfight

Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio, who just defied father time at the age of 40 after defeating Keith “One Time” Thurman, is even hungrier and wants to stay in the stacked and talented welterweight division.

Pacquaio was asked by promoters Premier Boxing Championships who he thinks would win in the Errol Spence Jr. versus Shawn Porter fight.

Pacman said he thinks Spence Jr. will win the fight because he’s more technical, boxes more, and has the power to take down the aggressive Porter anytime with his devastating punches.

Pacman also added that he thinks if he and Spence Jr. will clash it will be a very competitive fight.

Pacquiao expressed his desire in fighting top names in the welterweight division and Terrence Crawford and Spence Jr. were the names he mentioned first.

If Pacquaio eventually does fight Spence Jr., it will be one of the most important fights in his career because aside from facing the current number one ranked welterweight, three belts will be at stake.

But critics say that Pacquiao has already done so much for the sport of boxing, and the only name that is even worth considering is Floyd Mayweather Jr.
