Manny Pacquiao (left) and Errol Spence Jr. AFP PHOTOSFilipino boxing great Manny Pacquiao once again threw a shade to fellow future hall-of-famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. When Errol Spence Jr. was asked in the Pacquiao-Spence kick-off press conference what pointer did Mayweather give him for his fight against Manny Pacquiao, the fighting Senator of the Philippines had to interrupt to say this:"Errol doesn't need advice from Mayweather because I believe Errol is better than Mayweather. I think he will teach Mayweather how to fight toe-to-toe," said Pacquiao on Monday (Philippine time) with a chuckle afterwards. Pacquiao and Mayweather had already squared off in 2015 with the latter winning via unanimous decision. The 42-year-old Pacquiao reiterated he's fighting the 31-year-old Spence Jr. because he wants a real fight.
