Honestly, the Pacquiao I saw against Bradley wouldn't win a round vs Floyd.
I agree. Broner was untested and barely Top 10 at 147. Maidana just beat an overhyped smaller fighter. Some people act like it was a great win because Broner was undefeated (officially) and because it was a big event, but in reality, it was just a decent win against a guy who had recently jumped two weight classes. Nothing more, nothing less.
Thurman needs to fight, and beat, top welterweights (Guerrero, Alexander, Porter, etc.). If Floyd had picked him, you'd be dissing him for taking on an unexperienced and untested boxer.
