Manny Pacquiao hits the mitts with Buboy Fernandez. Wendell Alinea
Undefeated American champion Errol Spence Jr. said he has mad respect for Manny Pacquiao, but come fight night, it will be all business when he tries to take out the boxing legend.
"I want to retire him but I do respect him for taking this fight and being a real fighter," said Spence in Boxing Scene.
"He could've picked Joe Blow or somebody, or an MMA fighter just to get a huge paycheck. Instead, he took the biggest challenge in the division."
The 42-year-old Pacquiao is coming in as the underdog against Spence, who 11 years younger than him.
