In My Honest Opinion...Not Much!
Just like Pacquiao losing to one of these young fighters doesn't hurt his legacy at all because we all know he is older a past his prime despite still being really good
Correct but it's a very good payday for Thurman, and that's probably his main concern at this point.
It's not an easy fight for Thurman though.
Maybe he's trying to cash out so he doesn't have to deal with Spence or Crawford. I don't think his heart is in it. His attitude has been different since his marriage which is understandable. I hope I'm wrong and he doesn't leave anything to the imagination.
It would be good for any fighter to have a Manny W on your resume but going by their last fights I'm not sure that Thurman would even get past Pac an atm.
It's a good time for Manny to fight him if he's ever going to.
It helps him get closer to the HOF and with Pacman coming off back to back wins and still looking sharp, it will reestablish Thurman as #1, if that's even in doubt.
Even at age 40 Pacquiao would be a good win for Thurman and the proof of that is that I think most boxing fans think Pacquiao would beat him based on their last fights. Pac looked excellent beating Broner and Thurman looked terrible beating Lopez.
For his legacy you can see it 2 ways. He's got a legend on his resume, his name forever linked with pa cs. But at this point it won't help thurman be an atg.

its a pretty good win....nothing crazy for his legacy or resume....but good at least to hardcores...casuals will always remember manny stinking it up against floyd and wont give it too much run...but its still a fight to make as it can help enhance thurmans name going forward
Still a good win, even if he's past prime. A better win than Jeff 'who the fucc is that guy' Horn anyway. Keith is my Jewish brother from another mother, he got dis! Manny botta get circumcised!
he wont get passed manny. manny still beats all welter weights at this point except for spence and Crawford. manny loves that straight left to the body..Keith's belly is vulnerable, hes been hurt multiple times to the body from b-level fighters
