If you go by who has been in with better competition it's not even close. Pacquiao outclasses Thurman if the fight happens before he is totally shot.
Thurman vs Pacquiao

PAC being knocked out once in the last 15-years, in a max eight class for him (he's not even a full WW) = glass chin?
What calculations, allowed you to come to this conclusion, exactly?
What's the measuring stick for a glass chin? Being knocked out 3-times in a 20-year career?Comment

There are fighters who never been knocked out like Juan Manuel Marquez and he has been in a lot of wars never been stopped, he has horrible defense and gets hit a lot, so stop, PAC was out cold man.PAC being knocked out once in the last 15-years, in a max eight class for him (he's not even a full WW) = glass chin?

Pacquiao would never step into the ring with Thurman IMO. Who's the last established, strong Welterweight that Pacquiao has faced? Cotto in 2009? Bradley doesn't count as he was moving up in weight from his prime division, 140. I'm not saying Thurman would win, I'm just saying that Pacquiao won't be fighting the current crop of tough welters (Thurman, Brook, Porter, Khan, Maidana, ect.).Last edited by _original_; 10-21-2014, 02:43 AM.Comment

One of the silliest statements ever made. You hinting like PAC is scared lol. I do believe that all those guys mentioned will beat manny though, but he is far from scared. Manny fights whoever bob puts him in with, he fought clotted who weight close to 170' his fight with margarita was brutal, he won but showed he has heart, most guys will back down from Margo but PAC went blow for blow. Also those guys you listed are with Haymon, if they were with Oscar or arum, arum would toss PAC in with them. The reason PAC is going down to 140" is because arum wants to make Terence Crawford or Mickey Garcia stars, he wants one of them to beat PAC so he can transfer the power. That's how it works usually in boxing.Pacquiao would never step into the ring with Thurman IMO. Who's the last established, strong Welterweight that Pacquiao has faced? Cotto in 2009?

Well, that's exactly my point. What's silly here is that you think I'm insinuating that Manny is scared, of coarse not, I'm saying that I don't think Manny will be fighting any strong welterweights from here on out unless Bob is ready to cash him out and he's got a guy in his stable to do it (which he currently doesn't). Manny would fight GGG if he had too, but his handlers have been very selective of his fights these past years and they've clearly been avoiding matching him with real welters and they're making guys move up to face him (Rios, Bradley, Marquez and now Algeiri).One of the silliest statements ever made.

Don't think Pacquiao would KO him, however he will inflict some damaging shots that would very well put Thurman on his bike. Also people give Pac crap about Rios but Rios has a elite chin and extremely durable. I've seen Thurman buzzed by punches that makes me believe he doesn't have a strong chin.
Bradley vs Thurman to me would be a better fight for Thurman. He may very well get out boxed but Bradley power just isn't there.Comment
