Will We See Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence Sometime Next Year?

Over the weekend, Errol Spence Jr. maintained his position as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers on the planet with a dominant decision victory over Danny Garcia. The win seems to have drawn the attention of Manny Pacquiao, who is looking for big fights to end his career. Many analysts now believe we’ll see Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence sometime next year.

This is a dream fight for boxing fans. Even at 41 years old, Manny is one of the best boxers alive. Now is a perfect time to talk about what could lead to this bout coming together.

Let’s get into it!

Errol Spence Jr. Returns With Victory Over Danny Garcia

Boxing analysts have considered Errol Spence Jr. one of the best welterweights for years. He won his first major title in 2017 and has defended the belt on five different occasions. Spence is now 27-0 as a professional with 21 of his victories coming via stoppage.

In October of 2019, news surfaced that Errol had been involved in a major car accident. He was ejected from the vehicle but managed to escape without any major injuries. Since that time, he’s been slowly preparing for a comeback fight.

Fans finally got the chance to see Spence fight again this past weekend. The New Yorker took on Danny Garcia in what some considered the biggest boxing match of 2020. Fans flocked to different US online sports betting sites to place their wagers on the matchup. After 12 rounds, Spence was declared the winner via unanimous decision.

This is exactly what Errol’s fans hoped to see. There were concerns about how he would look after more than a year away from the sport. He didn’t seem to suffer from ring rust, however, and used quick jabs and solid footwork to earn the win over Garcia.

Everyone is now eagerly waiting to hear who Spence will be fighting next. The superfight against Terence Crawford is at the top of many fan’s lists. Unfortunately, this is a fight that has proven to be incredibly difficult to book.

Manny Pacquiao is now throwing his name into the mix here. Some now expect to see Pacquiao taking on Errol Spence Jr. in the near future.

Reports Claim We Could See Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence Next Year

Manny Pacquiao has been one of the biggest names in professional boxing for years. He is 62-7-2 as a professional with wins over some of the most legendary fighters on the planet. Most feel that Manny is now past his fighting prime, yet he continues to earn wins over elite competition.

Pacquiao hasn’t fought since July of 2019. It seems likely that he only has a few more fights left in his career. The Filipino champion has expressed interest in facing a big name the next time he steps into the ring. Errol Spence Jr. certainly fits that bill.

Spence’s win over Danny Garcia seems to have caught the attention of Manny. Reports claim that he is now reaching out to Errol’s team about a possible fight next year. It’s likely that Errol would agree to this massive bout. You can check out boxing analyst Kevin Iole’s Tweet about this situation below!

Just spoke to @KnuckleheadSean of MP Promotions. He said Senator @MannyPacquiao said he was impressed and thought Spence look good. Still has the fire to fight in 2021 and would like to take on Spence.

Some felt that Manny Pacquiao would be taking on Terence Crawford sometime next year. That may no longer be an option, though. Crawford is currently in the middle of negotiations with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum about his next contract. This process could drag on for months.

Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence is now likely the biggest possible fight to make at 147 pounds right now. This fight would serve well as a headliner sometime over the summer. A win over Spence would solidify Manny as one of the greatest boxers to ever live.

It’s an exciting time to be a boxing fan. There are some massive fights scheduled to take place over the next few months. That includes a heavyweight clash between two of the hardest hitters in the sport!

Odds on Joshua vs. Pulev Are Still Being Offered Online!

Boxing’s heavyweight division is better right now than it has been in decades. Fans are busy debating which heavyweight boxer is the best right now. Most feel it comes down to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury hasn’t competed since his incredible 7th-round TKO over Deontay Wilder. He was expected to compete in the trilogy match with Wilder before the end of 2020. That is no longer the case and it seems unlikely that these two men will ever compete again.

Anthony Joshua is another one of the world’s best heavyweight boxers. He avenged his only professional career loss back in December of 2019 over Andy Ruiz. On December 12th, Joshua will look to defend his heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev.

This is a massive fight for the division. BetOnline, one of the best online sportsbooks in the world, is now offering odds on this matchup. Many fans are surprised to see where these two knockout artists stand in the eyes of the oddsmakers.

Joshua comes into this fight as the massive -1000 favorite. He looked good in his rematch with Andy Ruiz and likely learned a lot from his loss in 2019. Joshua appears to be in fantastic shape for this fight and holds most of the advantages heading into fight night.

Kubrat Pulev is a tough test for any boxer. He is nearly 40 years old, however, and some feel this is his final opportunity to capture a world title. BetOnline currently lists Pulev as the +600 underdog in this clash.
