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

[marikudo]

Pac is the WBO Welterweight World Champion, Thurman has Two World Championships. Why wouldnt they be fighting? OH, OH YEAH, BECAUSE BECAUSE PAC IS OLD AND PAST IT, FATHER TIME IS UNDEFEATED, PAC HAS LOST 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF KO OR TKO, there is a reason he hasnt been matched up against a true welter, or a "puncher". Bob needs to save that title to offer up on a plate for his next superstar, Crawford. He will sacrifice pac's scalp along with the WBO strap to help promote Top Rank with its new superstar. His next in the line of Oscar, Floyd, Pac and now Crawford. But pac isnt elite anymore and hasnt had a ko since he started TESTING. You can go to youtube and pull up the videos about old champions, and what eventually happens to them. And Pac is next, if he fights Thurman or Crawford....might as well keep that belt in-house.

Wooh! Pacquiao not anymore elite? You are really on crack. He just mopped the floor with Bradley and Vargas. I don't ever see anyone at welterweight who can defeat him. I will say all the young welterweights now are overrated. Thurman, Garcia, Spence, and Brook are not elite fighters. They have not achieve anything special.

Well, Jesse Vargas is a champion when Pacquiao fought him. A young and hungry lion. If Vargas will fight Thurman, I will go with Vargas via a UD or late stoppage.

I have no problem with the vargas fight...it was for a belt. The problem is now the other champs have unification on their minds, and pac is fighting jeff horn.

I really doubt Arum will feed his superstar to someone else's fighter and help them become a star. Especially when he got his own fighters who he can make a star.

I've said this from the beginning. Arum won't cash pacquiao out unless its against crawford.

[FLY TY]

Fights not happening. I just heard an interview where Arum just outright dismissed any talk of unification with thurman, or the winner of brook-spence. It's for boxing "schmucks" as Arum put it.

But a fight with Broner or Horn would be meaningful? Pac can't continue to be ranked #1 at ww, when the other champs are willing to have a go at it. As it stands right now, I have it 1) Thurman 2) Brook 3) Manny.

Stop trolling.

He's way to big and strong for a guy that can't beat JMM.

Margarito Baby! He was bulldozed. Big or strong does'nt mean a thing to Pacquiao. Skillwise, Marquez is way better than Thuuurman. Thurman is a B fighter. No skills only strength.

Lol yea. He has Crawford and Lomachenko who he can turn into stars so why would he sacrifice Pacquiao to another man's fighter. Although, I don't believe Lomachenko can be a star even if he beats Pacquiao.

manny will do a number on keith, dont kid yourself. thurman cant even take out pac's sparring partner buahahah! and when did pac demand for a khan fight? so we're gonna pretend arum is a good guy now and its pac who calls the shot right? lol

Arum wanted Pacquiao to fight Horn. Pacquiao said no and tried to put a fight together with Khan. Pacquiao could have done the same for all those **** fights that people blamed Arum for.
