Your assessment of Thurman in that fight isn't the same as mine. As I mentioned in another post somewhere, Thurman dominated Josesito. He got caught in the 7th round, didn't go down, weathered the storm, and continued the beat down. In the Pacquiao fight, I think Keith was maybe 10% diminished from his prime self. Big enough difference, but far from "washed". I think the Keith before those injuries/layoff (the one who fought Porter for instance) beats the Manny he fought and lost to. And I think the PacMan that fought Ugas was maybe 10-15% less than the PacMan that fought Thurman.
And what effect do you think the terrible form , long lay off with surgeries then nearly KOed by a journeymen Maidana stopped had on Thurman, so where does that put Manny on the night, enough to win, the fight was a reflection of pretty much a washed injury proneThurman that was full of holes and a veteran ATG, you are only better than what you beat, people need to look closely at opponents form before a big fight, the name often distorts things.Comment
