Relieved

Oh, I am very relieved to see this article is about Keith Thurman's actual opinion, and not the opinion of any of his relatives, or any other person last-named Thurman, or even a dog or another pet named Thurman lol

--if you don't get the joke, please check out a few articles above this one, the one about Ali's grandniece, or whatever, which mislead us into thinking the article was about Muhammad Ali's opinion about the Pac-Floyd fight.

Floyd rocked odlh with a right counter that buckled him, he stunned cotto, he had maidana hurt in both fights he landed a left hook on maidana that froze him in the opening round along with other hard body shots note these dudes were bigger. Floyd will hurt PAC when he lands y'all just hate floyd so much you wanna act like you don't see those guys hurting when they are hit by him.

I think a lot of boxers go in thinking Floyd can't punch and then get surprised that he's actually got enough pop to think about, if ppl could walk through Floyd's punches trust we would be seeing this all the time,but instead wat I see is retreat once they feel his punches, other than that I think he's spot on about yo best chance being in the early rounds coz if u don't win the first 3-4 rounds he very well might shut u out

yep, floyd obviously hits hard enough to win the fight lol people act like punches dont hurt, they all hurt! everyone knows pac has to bank the early rounds or its a wrap. pac has tools to trouble floyd but its hard to see him outworking floyd for the whole fight. floyd will neutralize those flurries and have pac second guessing about diving in

Floyd is not vulnerable he breaks down your game plan and masters it so w.e pac is bringing it won't be nothing new

Cotto thinks that Manny will win:


1:45 min mark

Manny should try to get the first rounds of the fight. That will also force Floyd to be more offensive than defensive-minded and that too would play into Manny's favor as it will create more openings for Manny.

Was her daughter, who is employed by Haymon. So no surprise who she picks.

Someone please educate me on why the ref will
Matter?? PAC is a pressure puncher. He doesn't clinch and no judge has ever warned Floyd about his illegal elbows so what does it matter. If it was a margarito rios or Maidana then I would say it matters

True but Floyd was tagged by Cotto, Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana and manny is faster and hits harder than those dudes. Quit acting like Floyd is unhittable.

OK I went back and read everything. I also disagree with you on the Hopkins comparison. Kovalev was just too big for Hopkins which Hopkins had never been a fast fighter as far as speed. Floyd also hasn't been the bigger fighter in years. I feel like this will play a big part in the fight. You won't be able to bully him like Maidana. I beleive this will be a great fight, but I think Floyd will be to sharp for PAC! I watched Bradley out box PAC for 4rnds! I beleive Floyd does it for 12

Bradley wasn't outboxing Pacquiao for 4 rounds. Those were even rounds in which Bradley barely won two of them while Pacquiao dominated the other two.

Floyd didn't hurt Maidana and the only reason he stunned Cotto was because Cotto was so tired.

Floyd's punches will sting at best. Meanwhile, Pacquiao's punches will certainly hurt Floyd and it's going to show, possibly throughout the whole fight.

Thurman is an idiot. Floyd hits hard enough to make fighters gun shy. Once they get hit by Floyd, they stop attacking and focus on surviving, not getting knocked out. When Floyd connects, fighters don't see the punch coming which stings. It's always the punch you don't see that hurts.

Thurman's one if my fav but let's be real his issue is the last few rounds Guerrero was trying to put him out in 12th
