Comments Thread For: Roach: 'I Would Love' to Have Pacquiao Fight Keith Thurman

[Kigali]

Pac beats Thurman. Would love to see it. Liked what Freddie said about not fighting just to fight, but to be competitive with the top 10 in the world.

Keep dreaming.

He'd get knocked cold...again.

Who is Roach asking to bring him a contract for Thurman? He knows who to talk to...Bob Arum! In a normal world, someone of Pacquiao's stature should be able to pick up the phone and tell his promoter, "I want to fight Keith Thurman in a WW unification bout for my next fight." The promoter would then call back with purse, date, and venue options.

Exactly!

Except, in this case, it's Arum!!

Roach "thurman would be a good match"
Arum "thorn or no fight"

Pacquiao has nothing to prove. If no Floyd rematch, he has the right to cherry pick for his last fight. Horn is actually good choice, strong unbeaten ww at his prime.
