Comments Thread For: Thurman: Pacquiao Has Great Shot To Beat Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith "One Time" Thurman gave his thoughts on the fight everybody is talking about, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. The fight currently being negotiated for May 2nd at the MGM Grand, and a deal could be reached as early as this week.

Thurman certainly wants to face both fighters down the line. Mayweather holds the WBA's super title at welterweight and also has the WBC's version of the crown, while Pacquiao has the WBO belt.

Wow,I'm actually surprised with Thurman's assessment. Even he's saying that Pacquiao doesn't have to worry about Floyd's right as much as people claim he should,since floyd doesn't have as much power as marquez,and that's the same thing I've been saying for weeks. Yes,Floyd may tag Pacquiao with the right,but knock him out,or down? Floyd's no mike tyson.

Bradley picked Pacquiao off of his feet with a right,and Bradleyis no Tyson.Bundu also didn't have devastating power, but for some reason "run time" was worried.I guess it fits in line with that old adage that every punch hurts.

If the fight happens now I would lean towards Floyd. 5 years ago I would've picked Pac.

Pac doesn't fight with the same urgency/intensity anymore and that's no surprise. Floyd is easier to hit now than he was a few years ago as well, but he has aged better than Pac due to styles and how little punishment he's taken

It's the only logical explanation
