Errol Spence Jr gave a dominant display to Mikey Garcia, and there's no doubt that he can go for the big checks and renowned fighters. He even has some in mind mainly Manny Pacquiao who was at the AT&T Stadium to witness the fight between Spence and Garcia.

"Manny has broken records here at AT&T Stadium before, he's a legend in sports, and it would be a great honor for me to be his next fight. He is a true fighter and has shown it against everyone in his own way. I think he'll accept the challenge," said Spence and even mention that the fight will be one of a lot of money suggesting he can give Pacquiao his retirement check.

The Filipino answer immediately to the champion's challenge, saying: "yes, why not? We will give the fans a good fight. I'm very happy to be here in Dallas and hope to return here soon."

Errol Spence won the fight by unanimous decision against Mike Garcia but didn't see the need to end the fight by KO as it was clear the winner was Spence and Garcia had the firm intention to reach the end.

Before leaving the ring, Spence recognized Garcia's future in the boxing world: "I acknowledge Mikey Garcia for taking this fight, for giving me this opportunity. We saw a great performance, and I respect him very much and wish him well."

Spence vs. Pacquiao

It's expected that Pacquiao and Spence will reach an agreement in the coming months for a fight before the end of 2019. However, Spence said that if the fight against the Filipino doesn't materialize soon, he'll face Shawn Porter.
