Lol @ people saying Thurman. Wish we didnt have this cold war so Pac could clean out the GBP welters.Comment

And can we be completely honest. Does a fighter like Chaves land that much on Pacquiao? HELL NO......Man we really need to tap the brakes on the hype train for a second. I like Thurman's potential but we're talking about a guy who's signature win is a 9 loss Soto Karass. Who by the way was in trouble early against Soto Karass in that fight. Now he's a lock to brutally KO Manny Pacquiao? Lmfao please
I'm not even sure Thurman could beat Paulie, let alone Manny Pacquiao.
C'mon guys. Don't overate Thurman to the point where he gets annoying.Comment

Skimming through the post, that seems to be the case. I wouldn't mind seeing him lose to bring him back down to earth.Comment

chaves would land more then rios thats for d@mn sure.........chaves was a real welterweight with huge punching power and good timing (young and hungry) the type of fighter that pac should stay away from (high risk)
pac said that rios caught him and hurt him badly to the chin (i don't see how because rios didn't really land anything) you would have to be crazy to count out a young powerful hungry Thurman (this is NOT rios)Last edited by Godsfly; 01-06-2014, 09:42 PM.Comment

Don't wanna see him lose, but yeah, he's starting to get up there in hype.
And if I'm gonna be completely honest. I think Bradley, Porter, Danny G would beat this guy, and Guerrero would make him work his ass off in there.Comment

How is HE annoying? You mean, his fans are annoying?
It don't make sense to hate a guy cause of his fans...it's like me saying I hate Pacquiao because of his idiot/racist/troll fans from BoxingScene.Comment

Chaves does have timing, and Thurman's style of throwing, and leaving himself wide open afterwards helped it a lot. The speed difference between Manny and Thurman is not even close. Then you factor in that Pacquiao is a million times more accurate, and doesn't miss as WIDE as Thurman, and you've got less to counter.chaves would land more then rios thats for d@mn sure.........chaves was a real welterweight with huge punching power and good timing (young and hungry) the type of fighter that pac should stay away from (high risk)
pac said that rios caught him and hurt him badly to the chin (i don't see how because rios didn't really land anything) you would have to be crazy to count out a young powerful hungry Thurman (this is NOT rios)
And then also factor in that Pac can sneak in 4-5 shots on you, while Thurman can land the 1-2. Also, Thurman turns himself as he punches, and leaves himself off balance at times.
Pac shoots in with head movement, and shoots back out in a machine like motion. None of that off balance, turning like Thurman.
And no one ever said Chaves was a scrub. I'm saying a guy like Chaves isn't catching Pac like he did with Thurman.
2 different leagues of fighters.Comment

you have bradley beating thurman? omg...........
when will people realize that bradleys achilles heel is power and timing.........bradley falls apart when he gets hit with good power shots (fell apart against provodnikov) thurman is bigger, more skillful and hits harder then provodnikov...........guerrero refused a fight (i personally see thurman stopping guerrero) porter is nothing special and would lose to thurman. garcia is 50 50.Comment

I didn't him in general, I meant his NAME. Like every time you hear his name, you just know you're gonna see some noobs talk about, "he's the best, he's taking over".
And guess what, I was one of the first ones to rep Thurman, when everyone was saying how he's OVERRATED. And guess what? It was all the Floyd fans like pigsfly, and them that were saying that.Comment
