Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao-Keith Thurman: Should We Get the Ball Rolling?

[JOM'S]

would want to see this one, please dont let me get stuck with a pac-horn fight!

Pacquiao won't even fight Terence Crawford who has the same promoter. There's no way he'll go across the street to face Thurman.

I'm all in. Take my money!

I'd like to see Thurman get busy with Manny.

Youth would be served. I wouldn't be interested seeing this fight because Manny has no business in the ring with One time Keith Thurman at this stage of his career. He has absolutely nothing left to prove.

Keith is naturally younger, stronger, larger and more energetic than this current version of Manny Pacquiao. I'd rather Pac just retire before he gets hurt, taking on the likes of "One time" Keith Thurman.

Please Pacquaio kicks the **** out of Thurman

Why is it never brought up much honestly from Arum, Roach, Fans from Boxing Media is the question! I think I know why but regardless it is strange how Danny Garcia and Adrien Broner names come up no problem

Without question, the Pacquiao of 8 years ago would hand Keith Thurman his ass to him. I am not dis*****g that fact.

However, one cannot convince me that in 2017, Pac is going to defeat a man 10 years his junior; Who just so happens to be younger, stronger, undefeated, punches harder and is naturally larger than him.

Also, when was the last time Manny Pacquiao recorded a knockout on his record again? That's right it was back in 2009; Almost eight years ago and that was before PED testing.

Thurman's punches are wide /rangy rather than fast and crisp.... Manny can read and anticipate those punches.

And even now, PAC's footwork is quick enough to avoid most of those shots. If Pac can withstand Thurman's power, Pac wins.

It'd be a good matchup. Pac will get hit by some overhand rights and a few body shots. But I just can't see Thurman outpointing him.

Thurman's defense has holes that Pac would exploit. Thurman does have mobility, but he gets hit still.

It's those crazy angles that Pac uses where he times a guy perfectly that I think would net him a win against Thurman. And he still has lots of speed and his volume is typically 20 more punches a round than Thurman. And his footwork and movement puts the flat-footed Garcia to shame. I just wish Pac would cut loose from Arum and decide to have one last fight for all the belts and take on Thurman and then retire.

If Thurman was with top rank, this fight would be made in a heart beat..

But arum is never going to let manny fight a guy like Thurman, if arum doesn't control thurman
