Both Broner and Thurman lost to a 40 year old Pacquiao in 2019, both have sat out the entire 2020, and both plan on returning in 2021. Broner will be breaking a lay off of over 2 years, while Thurman will be breaking a lay off of almost 2 years.
After both criticized each other for their performances against Pacquiao, I'd like to see these two fight after they each take a tune up. Who wins?
Both of them should have fought end of last year and used Pac’s name to build up their match-up and rob fans some money via ppv. Lol
There’s no buzz now. They won’t draw flies anymore plus they gonna demand too much money
It would be epic when Floyd receives the award, he calls out Broner to the stage and hands it to him. Both takes a photo while doing it. That would be a hilarious meme for this thread
Barrera and Marquez
Thurman and Bradley were prime and undefeated
Thurman can be argued against but we can also identify him through his next fight.
People get mistaken between young-hungry and prime. Jones got the former Barrera , Pacquiao caught the latter Barrera.
Clottey is another prime, a highly underrated elite
He’s the Porter of 2000s. Had close but debatable loses against Cotto and Margarito.
He made the B+ Judah (according to NSB poll) look silly in the ring.
This what happens when you’re just a fanboy following Floyd’s career then suddenly Pac just got into this fanboy’s radar in 2009.
In case you’d be lazy to do some research, they were 2 or 3 weight classes apart (or more) when they were building up their careers. The closest they got is when Pac was still about to jump to 130 while Floyd is exiting 135. They were never close to each other’s radar
Emeritus champ: Pacquiao - since everybody wants a shot at him and he can choose to fight whoever he want to fight in the rankings
1. Crawford
2. Spence
3. Ugas
4. Thurman
5. Porter
6. D.Garcia
7. M.Garcia
8-10 Lipinets, Ennis, Ortiz
I hope Arum agrees. Not sure Davis would fight him coming from a big loss like that. Maybe Loma needs a win first. Let's push for it tho.
I hope Floyd agrees
There’s a reason why Loma is still lb4lb after that loss. Many people got carried away after Tank KO wanting him in the lb4lb list. He wants a true spot? He can try to take it from this guy, if he can, not some hyped performance.
Loma will need at least a couple of tune ups before that fight. Try Haney first.
No need tbh. You tried to make it sound like Loma was the one ducking.
Let’s make it happen
:lol1: :lol1:
Did CJ Ross have the correct score in Mayweather-Canelo too?
How about Byrd in Canelo-GGG 1?
If anyone thinks 119-109 is accurate, I’d highly recommend you learn how to score a fight coherently.
Why did you bring this up? He won’t answer this question.
DAZN made a very big mistake signing Canelo for a 35M per fight deal.
DAZN lost money from Canelo far more than Arum lost from Crawford taking 3M per fight deal.
Now that Canelo is out of DAZN, it’s gonna be extremely hard for him to get somewhere near a 30M fight against any opponent
Floyds. Had only 1 close fight and won the rematch easily. Also dominated his opponents more clearly. Canelo has been in several close fights
We’re talking about names in the resume. Not dominance inside the ring
This is PBC, who do you think it is?
A ready-made spanish can for Broner to feast on. What else are spanish names in pbc for?
No need to get hard on that. No need to raise bar for Broner, he’s not elite. Or maybe he does for you?
Except Oscar hits way way way harder than Margarito.
He hits harder than him but he was afraid to face him himself? Yeah right
You may believe what you want to but Oscar doesn’t believe you himself.
Oscar, for the first time in history refused to face a real challenge and chose a midget over Marg who was also hot commodity.
Stay away from Tank for now Ryan, that’s all I gotta say!
Stay away from Tank? He’s gonna have to stay away from everybody to stay relevant, especially Haney and he’s supposed to be mandatory for Haney’s belt.
If Pac can take Margarito’s punches, he can take Dela Hoya’s too. Stylistically too, Oscar still cannot catch up with Pac’s hand speed and still end up getting confused with the punches that Pac is throwing.
im sure he was...but manny pacquaio has held out as the A side many times where he's been on the juice, evidently vs keith thurman.
no doubt whatsoever he was on it in that fight. i hope he gets knocked out cold by a top WW.
That’s all you want to do. Just hope something ill happens to him cause you’re afraid he might achieve something more that might open more room of insecurities from you.
