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

[icha]

thats a good profitable fight...

[Bronx2245]

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.

Lmao !! Roach is blowing so much smoke up all of our azzzzes that its sickening!

Notice how Horns name will always be mentioned as an opponent. Roach knows KHAN,THURMAN and CRAWFORD are off limits from Arum because they can beat PAC.

And in the normal world we know that those Dubai guys have 38 million dollar toliet seats. So we know the money was their for the khan fight.

Just saying that Khan can beat Pacquiao tosses your entire post into the ****ter lol. Pac definitely has lost a few steps but he still looks competitive enough to where its not even guaranteed a Thurman or Crawford will win. Although i personally wouldn't bet against either Thurman or Crawford, but Pacquiao still has some fight in him. As for Khan, well maybe he can out point Pacman, but he is would be coming off a bad ko, and hes way more past it than Pac.

Lol when theres a Pac article all the red bars come out.

Two things will prevent this fight from happening: Uncle Al doesn't want to risk a loss on the record of his undefeated champion, and Uncle Bob is too busy making shady backroom deals with Australians and South Africans against journeymen.

That said, Pacquiao can win but he will have to chase Thurman around the ring all night to do it, won't be a very entertaining fight at all.

1.KHAN has the boxing ability to outbox PAC! Thats why Arum shut that fight down!

2. THURMAN has boxing ability and power. They all see that since the PED issue was brought to everyones attention back in 09 that mighty PAC hasn't KO'd anyone since!

3. CRAWFORD is too crafty for PAC and has the whole package!

Jeff Horn it shall be folks!

[Drew Bundini Br]

PAC has been pampered and protected for too long now.

Here is the truth...

It is obvious that the people commenting are trolls, fanboys, or novices to the sport. Manny is the best and most accomplished WW in the world, whether you like it or not. Thurman is number two and has passed Kell Brook.


I give Manny the edge against Thurman, Garcia, Broner, and Crawford. This is boxing and he can get totally OLD in one fight but until that happens, he has better tools than them all. You guys forget intangibles when predicting a lot of these fights. Thurman does a lot of unnecessary moving. He is wild. His defense is leaky. Manny's defense is tight, Manny is a master fainter. Manny is smarter, faster, and very strong himself. What is Thurman going to do with all of that?
