If this was prime Pac it would have been a no brainer. But with the Broner fight Pac doesn't seem to have the same foot speed especially when Broner started running. Run time would do x2 the amount of running trying to counter then Broner did. Hes also shorter and might get countered.
Pacquiao is always dangerous but Thurman has fast feet and hands...and I think Manny would have a hard time dealing with a guy who's as athletic, smart and hard hitting at Thurman. The smart bet would be on Thurman.

If pac fought this version of thurman. Now thurman would just get better as he has already shaken that rust
thurman will have a huge size advantage over manny! hopefully he doesnt run! that was disgusting to watch. if you are the smaller fighter then i can see why, but there is no excuses for the bigger fighter to be moving around that much.
Thurman thought that he was going to blow lopez away with power. Box and let the power take care itself. But the left hook he got stunned by, i think a Manny left would drop him or have him badly hurt. Time off is a boxers worst enemy and that showed tonight.
Pacquiao looks **** against movers but that's not his issue. The worry is whether Pacquiao can take a bomb at 40 because Thurman is going to land a bomb, this is an older and slower Pacquiao who looked sloppy against Broner (understandable given his age) and Pacquiao WILL get hit. He's also smaller and shorter than Thurman
He's going to have to be on point defensively otherwise he's getting caught on the way in
nah run time weakness is he doesnt have an inside game.
spence would jab his way in, work his jab and body work and beat on that runner.
KO inside 10.
You hate Thurman so much you’re talking about Spence beating him, in a PAC thread.:haha:
