    Thurman and a Prime Pacman are very similar in mindset. Both of them said openly they don't care about going out on their shield and want to fight the best, remember Pac fighting the big three Mexican legends back to back? the NO FEAR pacman on his shorts.

    Thurman has the same mindset.

    Remember people said Lucas Mattysse was the next Pacman? he got outboxed by a slow Danny Garcia who is flat footed. If Lucas can comeback and avenge that loss with back to back KO's of Garcia than he can redeem himself like Pac did against Morales.

    Garcia struggled with a super past prime, shot, bloated, old, slow Morales in the first fight lol, he even got hurt bit.

      Thurman vs Canelo would be an interesting matchup.

        I used to think the same thing, but with how much of his boxing skills he's showed in his last 2 fights, I don't feel this way anymore. He's a smart fighter and I think by the end of next year he will be deserving of a Floyd showdown

          The overrating of Thurman continues

            Kovalev reminds me more of Pacquiao than anyone else at this point in time.

              Why can't we wait for these guys to actually beat people at championship level before we start comparing them to all time greats.

                Stop. You are making too much sense.

                  Manny doesn't have a lisp and woulda beat Soto-Karass worse

                    They're both dynamic punchers and can move. Besides that, Thurman doesn't even have 70% of the body coordination, ferocity, vitality, and speed of Manny.

                    2 different animals.

                    And I'm a huge Thurman fan.

                      Could you imagine Manny with a lisp?

                      The Flowmos would have some legit ammo.
