PAC's footwork is on a whole 'nother level compared to Thurman's. I like Keith but I don't think he has much of a chance. Both Thurman and Guerrero's footwork is slow and conventional, they are on a similar level there.
Every time Thurman got caught he was in a bad position because of his footwork. I think positioning/footwork is one of the most under-appreciated and underestimated aspects of the game, it literally lays the foundations for just about everything else. PAC has no equal in that area.Comment

Thurman is the bigger man, longer man, has heavy power in both hands, can counterpunch, has good footwork/speed and has already shown that he does fine against lefties.
You add that Pacquiao has almost no inside game and "One Time" abuses the **** out of PacMan.Comment

Even as a welterweight, Pac has murdered the guys who tried to impose their physicality on him. If you look at those sharp counters Guerrero was landing last night and consider that they were enough to get Thurman's attention, you'd have to wonder if Pac's counters would be too much for him.
Manny would struggle with the size and power of Thurman at this stage of his career though. I don't think it's a fight he'd take. He might win, but he'd take some real punishment in the process.Comment
