Comments Thread For: Thurman on Board, Willing To Face Pacquiao in The Fall

[jqSide]

I can't be mad at either Floyd or Paq fighting whoever they want to fight at this stage of their careers. I'm more mad at seeing these top young prime fighters not fighting each other. Why is Garcia vs Thurman not being demanded? It doesn't make sense saying any of these top fighters in their primes are being cherrypicked by retired fighters. It sounds ******. It should be the other way around.

I don't know man. I don't know. Looks like these casuals are ready to blast a retired Pacquiao the moment he says no to a Thurman fight. If he says yes, Pac is cherrypicking Thurman doe. Rinse and repeat.

There is no denying he took a soft touch in Berto , why try to defend it ? the same ppl who praised that fight are now rooting for Pac vs Thurman , thats what ppl are calling out.
Floyd is a great boxer , ATG , but he clearly cheery picked Berto when all the WW who worth a damn were calling him out.(Thurman included)

Another ducking move in the twilight of Floyd's career. Master class ducker he is..

Why does Pacquiao want to fight Broner and Garcia.1 reason Angel Garcia and Broner can sell fights the PPV build up would be crazy and entertaining.Pacquiao isn't interested in Thurman Porter Crawford

Don't even know why Arum is selling this crap and everyone seems to be buying it. Paqcuiao was recently on record saying he won't be coming back. Even if he does come back, I have no doubt Arum would rather give him Vargas.

But these are all huge distractions. Thurman, Garcia, Broner, even Berto, should be focusing on each other, not this ****** lie Arum is disseminating.

Props to Thurman but I can't see Top Rank taking this fight. Way too dangerous. Makes more sense to keep it in-house but hey, stranger things have happened.

I agree. At this stage of Pac's career, I think Top Rank wants a smaller guy who doesn't have a lot of power and Thurman is neither of those things. Would be an awesome fight though.

If in fact that's the case, he should stay retired.

Yeah, I thought he should have retired a while ago. Easy for us to say though since we aren't the ones getting $20m paydays .

If he does in fact comeback, I don't mind him taking "safe" fights so long as they are non title fights, doesn't really affect anything that way. Generally if fighters want to keep fighting past prime I won't complain, it's their lives and if they are making good money, good for them.

If it's on PPV, I won't buy. Then again, save for the Mayweather fight, folks stopped buying a long time ago. Cable or network TV obviously I'll watch.

Same here. It's better in fact they fight on PPV and not take up network money. The loyal Pac and Floyd fans will buy and be happy, the others will stream or catch a replay.

II didn't buy either of their last fights for the first time in years. Prior to that, I bought every Floyd fight and every Pac fight, even the crappy ones like Floyd vs Guerrero or Pac vs Mosley. Not just because I'm a fan, but the hype was so big for each fighter it was always a great excuse to get family and friends together, since a lot of them are just casual fans and don't know much outside of these two fighters. Now, the excitement just isn't the same.

This is a good fight because Thurman can move and punch going backwards. I don't see Pacquiao taking this fight because it's all wrong for him. Besides Thurman has some descent power.

you said it dude, plain and simple, this is a dangerous fight for him so I see him stay way from this match up
