PAC created history in beating Thurman no point in rematch. PAC had pointless rematches with Bradley should have just gave decision to pac in first fight. But had to beat Bradley 3 times

BTW, I don't know WHY Manny didn't unleash stacks of thunderous body shots after that bomb that doubled Thurmos over in the 10th I believe it was. He had good success whenever he did land 'em. Oh well, I'm sure all the other WWs were watching close. That'll spell doom and gloom for Thurmos, and will end his career sooner than later.
Never said either way. Whatsa matter friend? Still upset Thurmos lost to the 40 y.o. master? If you'd like, I can list all WWs who could fight Spence. Would that make you happy? Cuz this entire site is all about you Pac haters, eh?
We don't always get what we want in life. Maybe with all his trash talk blabbering, Thurmos convinced you he was chosen by God to win the fight. Isn't that what Ali told Frazier right before Frazier knocked him on his backside?
:cool2: That was corny dude.
buahaha! my boy j still running around with that bs! lol.. told yall pac was gonna outbox keith.
Stop it, he didn't "outbox" Keith. They fought hard & it was close.
Rematch with Thurman is reasonable. But if Manny still want to continue fighting, I prefer to see him fighting variety of opponents since time is not on his side anymore. Except for Crawford in Top Rank, PBC have all the best welterweights to offer. That would be more interesting for me.
I think the rematch would be another great fight but at this point in pacs career I don't think he's looking to run it back with Thurman. He's chasing Mayweather or another massive payday before he goes. If they can offer him the same money for Thurman again that he'd make against Spence or Mikey then why not do it I guess.
But you want ignore the punches that rocked Manny's head back multiple times & you also want to ignore Keith backing Manny up with punches landing. You dudes see 1 side only. It was a good tough fight that I thought Keith edged out or a draw cuz of the knock down.

So why should Keith fight Errol but non of you guys are saying Manny should fight Errol??

When you're 30 and lost to 40 year old full time senator/part time boxer, you don't deserve a rematch. That's just embarrassing. Just took the big L and the humble pie.
I agree. Keith should be trying to fight Crawford or Spence. We all know he wont though.

Why do you dudes want the so called loser to fight the champions? Why would you dudes not say the so called winner should fight the other champions?? You dudes are weird.
I just doubt Pac is gonna fight Crawford or Spence. He never was much into unifying. THurman has already had his cash out fight. He is like Danny Garcia stuck at level two now, but he is top of level 2, so why not
I doubt Thurman wants anymore of that Pacquiao smoke. Pacquiao beat the brakes off that dude. The type of beating Thurman received on saturday will take something out of him.
If they do somehow rematch expect Thurman to be on his bike for all 12 rounds.
Great points! Getting a DUI cost him his last fight.
His Sister as his Strength and Conditioning coach??? WTF! I was wondering why when I googled Fig. his sister kept coming up?? I figured she must be hot or some sht??? Never had a clue she was his coach???
Yeah . She's alright looking. She was wearing some funky outfit at his weigh in . She probably took some S & C classes at her local community college to be an " official coach " if that.
I'd smash though .
