Manny vs Thurman good/bad?

It's a good, interesting fight. I think Pacquaio should consider avoiding a genuine top welter this point, but...I'm not sure Thurman is at that level anymore. He could sleep Pacquaio for sure, but Pac doesn't seem to mind that too much. He's one tough dude.

Good match, but probably not a very good fight. Thurman will likely be on his bicycle for most of it. I'd like to see Pac vs. Mikey, but Mikey won't have a title to put on the line at 147. Porter can be a good fight, but Pac has to be careful of his dirty tactics, it can be a repeat of Horn with headbutts and rabbit punches. Depending on how Spence looks against Mikey, that can be another good match up. Spence isn't as mobile as the other WWs., and he won't be running. I just don't think Pac will have the power to keep Spence off of him. He'll need his speed and footwork. this is what im kinda worry about too.. seeing how much thurman ran in his previous fight.

It seems to me like you... well....seems to me that you are overly concerned with Floyd fans first of all...lol. But.... Seems to me like you take one thing from one Floyd fan, then another thing from a different fan, and group them together as if they are one entity and then claim that they are contradicting. Why not just call out the specific person who makes the contradictory statement? You can't just take a whole group of people and claim they have the same exact opinion. Floyd fans don't all think the same way, Wes. Personally, I don't care whether he fights Horn or Thurman. I think Thurman makes the most sense because he has a strap and Pac doesn't want to waste time at this stage in his career. A Thurman win means more for him at this point than beating Horn. the same mofos that were saying "manny needs to fight the best".. all of sudden, doesnt care about a pac vs thurman fight anymore now that its been put out there that manny wants to fight these guys to end his career. now the same posters is trolling making post and threads about manny ducking horn, etc. what happen to "manny needs to fight the best"??

This would be a great fight. They should do this fight next to be honest.

seems like the floyd fans want manny to fight guys like jeff horn instead so that it'll fit their daily agenda to hate on pac. the thought of manny fighting thurman or any of the young PBC guys will ruin their plan and will make TBE look bad. first it was "if manny wants to continue fighting then he needs to fight the young top ww".. now its "manny is ducking the horn rematch"...

why does it NOW seems like the floyd fans is mad that this match up will most likely be next? first they complain that if manny wants to keep fighting then he needs to fight the best. now that there is talks of this match up, and the potential of even increasing manny's ATG's status, it NOW seems like the floyd fans doesnt want it no more. yall some funny bunnies man!!! So true but now they are saying every fight PAC wins just makes Floyd's win over PAC seem better? You've got to laugh at Floyd fans. You never hear jmm fans say every Pac win now onwards makes jmm win over Pac better. I've never heard rjj fans say every fight bh wins from now onwards makes rjj win over bh greater. It's just Floyd fans, will try get credit for Floyd anyway they can, other than Floyd just fighting and beating people

Even Berto was able KO Lopez, but I didn't see anyone sucking Floyd's dick for taking that fight. Berto is a joke you are just another Floyd ball washer Keep sucking those balls boy

Oh yeah let’s not forget Floyd’s fights against the world beaters Berto ortrees and the mighty Guerrero Even Berto was able KO Lopez, but I didn't see anyone sucking Floyd's dick for taking that fight.

On the real though Manny should retire for his own health. I'm a Manny fan, will absolutely miss him when he's done, but I'll admit this should have happened a couple fights ago, like after Bradley 3.

Dangerous fight for manny imo. We can easily be fooled by thurman’s ring rust for 2 years of layoff and injuries. That’s like being fooled by fury’s performances against pianetta and the other guy. As a big fan, I still hope manny retires asap. The last few fights i wanted him to participate in was against broner and khan. Now the latter is unavailable so.... and former just got done. Other fights don’t really excite me more than it scares me. Being an offensive fighter at 40, with lots of mileage and wars behind it, is no joke in this sport. We have seen it happen over and over again to great fighters throughout the history. Unless you’re ultra defensive — which don’t require as much energy as the way Pac fights. He’s feints are nowhere close to what they used to, he can be timed easier than before. But no one is skilled enough, or powerful enough to have pulled it off yet. But sometimes it’ll take just one lucky punch to find that chin — which i believed has not been tested for years now. One last fight in the Phil and that’s it. If pac have gotten thurman that fought lopez then it would’ve been a win. Now the rust has been shaken off, bad parameter to totally base on if u ask me.

Manny fans started talking all this **** about how Pac beating a guy that just struggled with a C- minus fighter is going to enhance his legacy. Of course people are pushing back against that nonsense Oh yeah let’s not forget Floyd’s fights against the world beaters Berto ortrees and the mighty Guerrero

Pac-thurman will be a big fight.

I’m for it. I am a Floyd fan and I think Pacquiao outboxes Thurman. Thurman only could win by KO I think.

I'd rather see Manny vs Floyd 2 and Keith Thurman vs Errol Spence Jr

This is a much better fight than floyd. Floyd isn't worthy to fight pac now.

Floyd is 42 and already beat Manny by a wide decision...why is it that everyone who beats Manny has to fight him again? i dont know, i thought floyd likes making easy money? aint pacquiao fight the most he'll get outside from a freak show fight against another star in another sports?

I think the fight makes sense. I'd rather see it then have Mayweather come back to fight him. Thurman is the regular champ and Manny the interim or whatever he is.. I'd watch it for sure and I didn't watch the Broner fight cause that bum doesn't deserve peoples money.
