MANILA, PHILIPPINES
‘Pac can move, and that can mess you up,’ says boxing legend Mike Tyson of Manny Pacquiao
Mike Tyson doesn’t look far for a reason on why he thinks Manny Pacquiao can handle Errol Spence Jr. in their title clash on Saturday, August 21 (Sunday, August 22, Philippine time).
Dubbed “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in his prime, Tyson told EsNews the fact that Pacquiao bested the then-unbeaten World Boxing Association welterweight champion Keith Thurman in 2019 is proof enough.
“You can’t rule out Pacquiao because he beat Thurman. Pac can move, and that can mess you up,” explained the former unified heavyweight world champion and all-time great.
Tyson was weaving his body as he spoke, mimicking Pacquiao’s signature ring movement. “He’s all over the place.”
