Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr- A preview 

Pacquiao has established himself as one of the best to ever step into a squared circle. ‘Pac Man’ is a multiple-time, multiple-weight world champion in boxing. However, despite all his achievements, the competitive fire still burns bright in Pacquiao at 42-years of age. At the age where fighters usually accept challenges against lesser-known entities, ‘Pac Man’ has thrown himself into the deep end by accepting a fight against an undefeated fighter 11 years his junior. 

Spence Jr has been immaculate throughout his career as a professional boxer. He has a perfect record of 27-0 and is the current WBC and IBF welterweight champion. For Pacquiao, a win would not only extend his win streak to 4-0 it would also be one of his best wins to date given the circumstances. Time away from the sport, taking on an undefeated fighter 11 years his junior, among other factors. 

For Spence, a win against a legend of the sport would be another impressive name added to his list of victims. It would also further cement his place as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world at the moment. The fight is just under a month away and there is a lot on the line for both men involved. Both in terms of legacy and monetarily.
