Former world champion in eight weight categories Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs), chilling out in retirement, says that he will come out at 43 without any problems against the winner of a possible superfight between welterweight leaders (up to 66.7 kg) Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs).
“And why not? If it will be possible. Let’s see the result (of this fight) first. I will watch their duel, ”-
said Pacquiao to reporters.
Judging by how “briskly” negotiations are going on for the Spence-Crawford fight for all four titles and the informal status of the absolute, Pacquiao will be over 70 years old by the time he meets the winner.
In the meantime, Manny is planning an exhibition fight against someone unknown in December in order to raise money and warm up a little.
Pacquiao should fight for real or with a star, not that’s all – promoter
Despite his advanced age, Pacquiao looked pretty good last year when he lost to Yordenis Ugas on points. Which, of course, will still not be enough to seriously count on success when meeting with the future absolute of the division.
The other day, a top coach gave an ambiguous, controversial, but beautiful analysis of the Spence-Crawford fight. Which, with such a pace of negotiations, may not be.
The young puncher is ready to step in if someone from Crawford or Spence breaks the megafight.
