Comments Thread For: Thurman: Bad Shoulder or Not, Pacquiao Would've Lost!

[noStylez]

Was a close fight in my book bad shoulder or not this fight was close, too many biased fans. Both in my book under performed, even though they have always been under the big lights this was the biggest by far in their long career.

One of the keys to beat Manny and it's a mental one is to not panicking when he catches you with a big shot. Floyd got caught a few times, but he didn't lost his composure and he still managed to dictated the fight pace and outbox, Manny.

IMO, that's underrated aspects on how to fight Manny because most of his previous opponents got drawn into brawls and played right into his hands. It's funny to hear Khan saying he can follow the same game plan that Floyd had against Manny, it's not just because he can't take a big punch too well, it's because he fights like he's scared. Even when he's throwing punches and winning a fight, Khan always has a "panic face" and can easily lose his composure when he gets pressured.

Bad shoulder or not, it would have never been "Fight Of The Century"

6 years ago maybe.

Hey PAC fans remember the Algeri fight? I hope you saw the undercard with Lomachenko v s. Piriyapinyo...if not look it up. Lomachenkov puts on a clinic with one arm from round 7 on. He did not get discouraged when the injury happened. He worked even harder and used his footwork. People forget manny's "amazing" footwork was MIA v Mayweather. Your feet and arms are not connected btw. If you recall, when Kobe hurt his shoulder he left the game asap and he could not lift his arm...I am saying this because arum said they have the same injury, again, Kobe had to leave the game and could not even lift his arm at all! Maybe some of you don't watch the NBA. But my point is, there is too much red tape and excuses about manny's performance against Mayweather. But the biggest thing that manny was missing on that night was his heart.

6 years ago still would be the same results or even worse for pacquiao

It would have been much more exciting 6 years ago in their primes, maybe even "Fight Of The Century".

Thurman saw what 99% of the rest of the world did: Floyd taking Pacquiao to school.

The other 1% are either know-nothing Pac fans or butthurt Mayweather haters.

This is a fact. The saddest part is I've seen people handle the death of loved ones better than stans have handled Pacquiao's failure.

IF It happened 6 years ago and Floyd won people would have zero room to say anything about Floyd's legacy but the fact he has made us wait this long?

Only the ****** like to believe on a fake shoulder injury so they can sleep better at night. It was pretty obvious these paklas were coming with excuses.

Thurman's opinion will probably be spat on by the Pac Maniacs....anyway, I would bet anything that Pac's shoulder was good enough on fight night to compete...his boxing brain and Floyd's superiority is the reason he lost...the shoulder **** is just a cheap ass excuse that petty mutha****as are buying....it is what it is!!
