Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman Backs Spence To Beat Pacquiao, Says Manny is Real Warrior

[Pennstate110]

I swear the only reason 48 going so hard after Erroll is because the car accident. Always with the cherry picks. They only went after Thurman because he looked like **** after a long layoff- and Thurman here is too proud to call it that.

Seriously calling a 31 year old taller longer opponent who won his previous fight 6 months ago by a landslide against a top guy and is the #1 WW a cherry? by a 42year old smaller lighter guy who is 2 years inactive fighter? One is too big for the division (advantage for Spence) and the other is too small for the division (disadvantage for Pacquiao). Just listen to how retrd'd you sound. I swear if Spence farted too loud and if Manny chose to fight him after youd say Manny was cherry picking. Idiots like you will never be satisfied as long as the ones having success do not have your same skin color. Guess what, hate all you want because there's nothing you could say that will take away ANYTHING from Pacquiaos legacy and what he will mean to the sport once he hangs em up...friggin low IQ hood boys

You totally left out the car crash which is the crux of the matter, if he is not the same because of the crash and that's why Manny took the fight then its fair to say it could be seen as a cherry pic.

And that's why you Manny fans are full of it, you cannot fathom there being anything wrong with an opponent when Manny picked them to fight, all you hang of his belts in the trophy room doesn't matter if they falling to bits the name is the value, there is more to boxing than whats on face value that fans don't even see let alone understand.

We can only wish that floyd has half of pac warrior mentality but we can't force a scared man to do the things that only the real warrior would do.

I don't think heart is the issue.

The issue is power vs brittle hands. At 45 years old, Floyd can't possibly be expected to have the stamina to ward off these young guns.

Manny doesn't have the stamina either, its his power that bailed him out against Keith Thurman.

Floyd has no power and on top of that has brittle hands.

It literally makes no sense for him to fight these young guns

MAn--some guys just can't get over their ***** as bias--

Spence looked fine in his last fight

Nah he didn't. He was much slower and didn't have the limitless stamina he usually has. He even took two rounds off as a result, Spence never takes rounds off.

He was 70 percent at best, but I expect him to be 95 percent this time around so no excuses.

Only concern is the scar tissue on his face.

I noticed in the press conference he has a some significant scar tissue at the top of his right eye.

Never saw that on him before, must be something that happened in the accident.

Hope it doesn't play a factor, but of course it would take skill to make it a factor (or luck due to headbutt clash).

Lol, you realise Pac has been at welterweight longer than Spence has been a professional boxer right?

How can he be too small fot the division he has been at for +-13 years?

Lol

If Pacman would have picked Bud, haters would say he was picked him over Spence because he is smaller. Now I'm reading he picked ked Spence because of the car accident and he is cherry picking. Well what if he picked Spence because most belive Spence is the better of the two belt holders at that weight. Look Manny is 42 years old. He's been inactive, for 2 year. He is way smaller than Spence So I don't believe Manny will win the fight. Just let me say this though, if it were Spence in the ring with Manny 2 years ago instead of Thurman, it would have .more than likely put a loss on Spence's ring record. I watched the Thurman fight without sound, and no matter what compubox stats have to say, Manny was the one doing the majority of the telling blow, Thurman was most on the receiving end, us Manny controlled the fight from round 1. Knock down or no knock down Manny won that fight. Spence is the best fighter in the divisional I like Bud far more but I don't think he can beat Spence either. I just wish .ore sanctioning bodies would twist the greedy promoters horns and make the fighters with the best records who are active in the sport fight he champion for the title regardless if the hold the WBA, WBO, WBC, IFB, RING TITLE. They are all nothing but an alphabet soup smoke and mirrors groups that keep the fans from watching the best fight the best. Aurum, Hearn, Delahoya, Merriweather are just greedy men who under pay most up and coming fighters while avoiding the ones dangerous to their stable. That fool Logan made .ore money fighting grandpa Merriweather than any top 1o contenders--Disgracful and unbecoming of the Sport of Boxing.

LMAO the day #48 fights Bud is the day Bud comes back from a 2 year layoff and surgery or comes off a KO loss. 48 wasnt fighting prime fighters in his prime, he's not gonna fight them in his older years.

If he wanted a retirement check, he'd have pick a weaker no name opponent.

Splitting a purse is less than taking most of the purse.

Spence probably gets a bigger cut than anyone else he could've fought tbh.

I agree he could've taken a lesser fight. If he made 30 for Keef, I have to believe he'll make just as much, if not more, for Errol. I just don't know what other fighter at WW brings in that money for him right now.

[FLY TY]

i can’t wait for pac to beat gyno spence so he can put ya’ll betas back in place! LEVELS TO THIS spence down

Calling people "betas" while simultaneously talking about another man's *******.

I just hope you stick around the forum, and don't create another ALT after the fight. Manny Paquiao is about to be beaten into retirement.

Thurman is a has been who is trying to pretend that he is still relevant, sometimes it can take just one fight to go from hero to zero and that's what Thurman did by making Packy look way better than he is. The upside is that Packy thought that he is still top tier as a result and so he agreed to fight Spence
