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.
