Now, before Pacquiao returns to the MGM for the third consecutive time to square off against Spence, Floyd Mayweather has come forward to give the latter some very important advise on how to tackle the veteran.

It has been six years since Mayweather faced Pacquiao in the squared circle, the clash which was touted as the “Fight of the Century” as well as “Battle for Greatness” on 2nd May 2015 in Las Vegas, the fight which saw Mayweather’s WBC, WBA (Super) and Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight belts on the line. “Money” had won the fight via UD.

Come this August, Spence is undoubtedly having the toughest fight of his career yet, and as the WBC and IBF welterweight champion puts his belts on the line, he gets some warning from Mayweather about Pacquiao.

“He (Pacquiao) is very dangerous still,” Mayweather told “The Truth” the truth.

Mayweather himself is returning  to exhibition boxing for the second time as he takes on Youtuber Logan Paul on 6th June in Miami, Florida, a fight in which the 44-year-old is the clear favourite and even admits that he has “no strategy” on facing Logan.
