After last night we know that Spence isn't the Boogeyman that we think he is and in the same level of thurman.. I think this will be a great and a true 50-50 fight.
I agree. This fight should happen to know who really can beat who.
As we know, discussion is interesting but fights get won in the ring. I'd like to see Spence- Thurman too.
Providing Thurman will actually take the fight, I have a feeling there's a good chance it will get made in 2020 as Haymon will probably want all his 147 guys to fight each other before making a deal with arum for Crawford.
It wasn't close at all.. the judge that gave thurman a win is either blind or watching a different fight.. even without a knock down pac won 7 rounds and add the knock down it was a very clear win for pac..
Well the judges clearly had it close seeing as the 2 judges who had Pac winning had it 7 rounds to 5.
I had Pac winning but I dont think he was nearly as dominant as you seem to be suggesting. I maintain that Thurman pre layoff beats this version of Pac.
So clear that one of the judges gave the fight to Thurman? You might want to check again because it wasnt a UD...
And the scores were close, the 2 knockdowns is what ultimately won Pac the fight

Fixed your above comment for you because its an opinion not a fact, your talking as though Pac just ran through Thurman, he didnt. I stand by my comment the version of Thurman prior to the injury/long layoff would have beaten 40 year old Pac.
lol. it's just your opinion that a healthy thurman can beat an old past prime and fulltime senator pac but if your talking about FACTS: pac knock down and almost stop thurman..
Thats just your opinion that thurman can beat pac but the fact is pac knock down thruman, almost stopped him and won a very clear UD..

Thurman -Spence would probably be another close decision fight. It is hard to believe Thurman stops Spence, because last man Thurman really stopped was Soto Karass. On the other hand, Spence should be on 100% to stop Thurman and maybe even that wouldn`t be enough.
Well it's easy to say than to do it in the ring.. Porter try to body shot thurman and he don't have any success and spence will probably get hit first in the chin before he can hit thurman to the body.
Well we've never seen Spence hurt bad, we have seen Keith hurt real bad to the body first by Collazo then by Pac. And Spence is more skillful and landing body shots than Shawn. No way the fight is 50 50
Any version of thurman couldn't beat pac if thurman has fought a 38 years old pac he would have been stopped..
But but but Thurman was injured before the fight and did more damage during the fight, he said he was only 50%, with two arms he would have won clearly instead of a split decision, KT is having more surgery done now.
Familiar story for some reason .
In my opinion any version of thurman couldn't beat pac if thurman has fought a 38 years old pac he would have been stopped..

Well yes, Thurman has been inactive so there's not a lot to go by.
A legend but one who is 40 years old... Thurman prior to the long layoff would have beaten this version of Pac imo. He was a lot less stationary
Inferring that Porter is just some sparring partner is being disingenuous. He is one of the top guys in the division currently (like him or not).
Check my old posts, I was one of the few guys saying Thurman and Crawford beat the so called Bogeyman. My concern with Thurman is his inactivity and since coming back he doesn't look the same fighter...

Why play he guessing game when that fight can be made! I Still want to see it so yeah hopefully it happens
I agree. This fight should happen to know who really can beat who.
LOL. You think Keith could stand to that body attack. LOL. It would be a good fight is vulnerable to body shots. He would go late in the fight. But we know that you are trying somehow pump up Pac. Pac can prove that Spence isn't the boogeyman in his next fight
Well it's easy to say than to do it in the ring.. Porter try to body shot thurman and he don't have any success and spence will probably get hit first in the chin before he can hit thurman to the body.
Your basing it in their last fight? Well thurman fought a legend of boxing while spence fought pac sparring partner.

Thurman was injured and is having another surgery might be why he lost a split decision.
You seem to ignore anyone having an injury except for Manny lol.
Thurman was not at his best and thats the only reason Manny took the fight.
Thurman isnt the fighter he used to be, would fancy Spence to beat him now. Previously I had Thurman and Crawford both beating Spence, but Spence is better than I thought and Thurman appears to be on the decline based on his last fight.
Your basing it in their last fight? Well thurman fought a legend of boxing while spence fought pac sparring partner.
Pacquiao went 12 with Rios, Bradley stopped him. I guess Bradley has more power than Pacquiao going by that logic.
Golovkin went 12 with Jacobs, while Pirog KO'd him. Pirog is a bigger puncher than GGG?
There's more to power than just knocking someone out, and you don't necessarily have to have a ton of power to stop someone.
Pacquiao has proven his power against other credible opponents though. Same with GGG. Thurman hasn’t...
Based on the evidence we’ve seen thus far: Spence is evidently the bigger puncher.
His stoppage wins against Brook and Peterson are more impressive than anything on Thurman’s resume.
His one punch KO’s of Bundu and Algieri are also more impressive than any one punch KO on Thurman’s resume.
Lol... Bundu can talk all he wants... Thurman went 12 with him, whilst Spence rendered him unconscious.
It’s clearly evident who the bigger puncher is...
