Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: It's A Good Thing I Was Off For Two Years; Feel Hungry, Dedicated To My Training

[Spoon23]

I meant to say Crawford, not Thurman. He’s not elite anymore and he wasn’t elite when pac fought him. His fight with josesito proved that. You said pac was the underdog vs Cotto, margarito and Thurman and the fact is he was not, he was favored. Wanna know why? Because Cotto was 2 fights removed from being beaten with plaster wraps, he had no trainer for his fight with pac and was dragged down to 145. Margarito came off a beating against Mosley, served a year suspension for cheating and then fought a nobody in Mexico. He had no business fighting for a title and that was a set up to give pac a belt. Thurman was off for two years, had an injury, almost got knocked out vs josesito and was clearly not the same guy who beat Garcia and Porter. So don’t change your tune and say they were favored by many when pac was officially the betting favorite for all 3 of those fights.

You made an excuse. Apologize for that critical error JabJab. Ceagle deserves that at least. Even though you meant otherwise, both men are top dogs in the division regardless of what you say. Pac was the underdog for the Thurman fight and now the Spence fight, and will still be if there will be a Crawford fight. Learn to digest why it is.. Critical thinking buddy. Think..think..

Just like Spence, Thurman was the clear betting favorite over Pac by a huge margin when Las Vegas set the odds for their fight. It was only later on when Manny looked good in training and his fans began betting on him that the bets began turning in Manny's favor.

It is starting to look the same for the next fight with huge odds in favor of Spence at the outset but it is already starting to narrow again after videos appeared and news filtering from his camp showing how good Manny is appearing in training.

I personally favor Spence at this time but I think Pac has a chance of surprising everyone by creating an upset like he has done throughout his career.

going into the fight, pac was favored over Thurman. This is not going to be the case with Spence as Spence is better than Thurman. Spence will deliver a brutal beat down.

calm down captain exaggeration. I typed the wrong name by saying pac wouldn’t beat thurman instead of Crawford, which is who I meant, that’s a typo, not a “critical error” ya drama queen. Thurman , Cotto and Margarito were all underdogs vs pac when they fought, not favored as he said. Those are just facts. Pac was -300 vs Margarito, -220 vs Cotto and - 130 vs Thurman. That means he was favored in all 3 fights. Learn to deal with facts.
As far as Crawford, unfortunately that fight will never happen because 1. Pac doesn’t want to fight him and 2. Spence is going to beat pac into retirement.

It wasn't like that at all Thurman open a slight favorite, the change wasn't no big move because they were close in the odds setting.

According to the boxing odds at MyBookie.ag on May 15, the opening line for the Pacquiao vs. Thurman fight had Thurman as a -135 favorite (wager $135 to win $100). Pacquiao's opening line was +115 (wager $100 to win $115). In boxing betting terms, these are extremely close odds.

Manny get his Payday, Spence gets the "name" on his resume. They both win.

Would I have likes to see Ugas instead? Yes. It is what it is though.

I wonder if all the little girls crying about this fight, were crying when ESPN announced Terence and Paquiao were fighting.

Big if pac does this, he needs to retire & sell us all what he's taken all these year's.
