    Pacquiao vs. Thurman, who ya got???

    I think Pacman would get an easy UD on him. Thurman doesn't grab and clinch nearly as much as Floyd, so he'd be far more susceptible to getting bombed out by the Pacman.

    Love both guys but after seeing how hesitant Pac was against Floyd, I'm not sure how he'd do against a serious puncher like Keith. Before the Marquez KO I would've gone for Pac by UD, now I'm not sure.

      Thurman by KO. He is too big for Pacquiao.

        I'd still pick Pac to win over Thurman. He has power but he doesn't have the reflexes that Floyd does and he doesn't have the same timing. I don't think that fight will ever happen because of the Hymen connection but that is a winnable fight for Pac. It would be better for Thurman to fight Mayweather though since they have the same promoter.

          I see it as a 50-50 fight. Forced to pick, I'd probably choose Thurman.

            I honestly don't want to see Pac get fed to these young up & comers, the Floyd performance taints him enough...I really hope dude just retires.

              I am a Thurman believer, I really think he will be the future so, there is your answer. Too big, too strong. Pac will pepper him but I think Pac gets caught eventually!

                That's how I see it. Thurman's non hesitancy to throw punches will be his downfall in this match up. Pac's far too reflexive, and quick for Thurman. Power is about equal.

                Pacquiao is also a more agile mover. Thurman is a glider. In and out domination for Pacquiao.

                  Fed??? Retire??? What fight did you just watch? He barely got beaten by the P4P king of boxing. Floyd landed the fewest punches of his career on an old Pacquiao. Floyd was on copious amounts of PEDs, and looked the best he's ever looked, physically, in his entire career.

                  What??? You act like Pacquiao almost got KO'd every round, and got humiliated.

                    I think this might happen in late 2016 and we will see the sad end of Pacman's career. A prime and seasoned Thurman will beat him worse than Mayweather.
