    Its hard to say what his knockout loss has taken out of him but IMO he knocks Thurmans ass out in fine style.

    A guy with a questionable chin who is very offensive minded, open for counters, unproven & has a leaky defense - Pac eats those guys up.
    You get wreckless & start just loading up on powershots and neglect your defense with a guy like Pacquaio, you'll get your face broken.

    A shot, very mediocre Zaveck had his moments.

    I see nothing otherwise to suggest Pacquaio doesn't wreck Thurman.
    In fact I feel Thurmans style plays right into Pacquaio's hands.

    I don't feel he has the intelligence/patience, ring I.Q or counterpunching abilities to give Pac problems.

      lol i hope your kidding. Morales was fat unfit and looking for a payday when he lost he didn't even try lol. Pacquiao would kill garcia and thats coming from a Garcia fan. Pacquiao still murks the whole 140 division even if he has a "glass chin" suddenly

        Not a fan of Pacquiao but I would say Pacquiao takes via KO.

          You just put Zaveck in the same category as Manny Pacquiao.

          That's funny since the only fighter who has figured out Pacquiao in recent History is his rival Juan Manual Marquez.

            Pacquiao was never dropped by Marquez before, his ability to take a punch is gone, you don't comeback from those type of knockouts.

            Thurman hits like a mack truck, one shot landed on Pacman and he will be sleeping again.

            Danny Garcia would wreck Pacquiao with his famous counter left hook that spun Morales around.

            When a chin has been cracked even light punchers like Khan and Malignaggie or Bradley will wobble him or even drop him.
            You could be right, we'll see soon. But it doesn't have to be like that. Duran's chin didn't go to dust after Hearns, and even PWill showed an intact chin vs Lara.

              IDK about within 3 rounds even if we didn't get a chance to see Manny first before the fought. Not knowing how he will react feels almost feels like denial on my part for right now though, but I gotta give the all-timers the benefit of the doubt. A KO like that might rob Manny of the "one last great" performances many aging fighters have left him them, we'll see. Your bold with the KO part but I think the timing part is close to right... if Pac shows up and is really shot like that then yeah toward the end of the 3rd, we'd know. Not equating Zaveck or Thurman to JMM but you could throw any prime, half-way decent WW to test whether Pac is a shadow, so if it's Keith but maybe it would be a KO.

                Morales was juiced to the gills man.

                Just stop, Pacquiao doesnt have the chin to last anymore and he keeps dropping his hands now more than ever cause he is getting tired.

                Zab Judah has a better chin, he has never been out cold the way Pac has.

                Why don't you guys realize that Pacman is done, he can no longer take a punch, I like Pac and I am not hating, I just worry for his health if he fights again because no fighter will fear him again and they will eat his punches like candy now and throw bolos at him flush and put him out cold ala Glen Johnson vs. Jones Jr. after Tarver KO'd him, it was easier to hurt Roy.

                Don't be surprised if Pac gets rocked by grazing punches now.

                      Pacquiao would have to be a broken shell of his former self to lose to Thurman. I think people are too quick to elevate these young pups who have done nothing but beat bums to the level of legitimate Hall of famers. It wouldn't surprise if Pacquiao lost but it would have nothing to do with Thurman and everything to do with Pacquiao's sharp decline.
