Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostThurman isn't beating Pacquiao in style, that's the issue here. It will be a competitive fight which wouldn't elevate Thurman all that much and if he wins then it takes away from a Spence big pay day vs Pacquiao. Thurman and Porter are two solid fighters with no hopes of being stars. Let them duke it out and unify, and then the Spence/Garcia winner can fight Pacquiao and winner of that fight could get Thurman/Porter winner. You don't put Pacquiao in with a threat unless it is to build their stardom. You put Broner in with him as you know it will do good numbers and he has no chance to beat Pacquiao.
Thurman/Porter/DSG are all on the same level. On talent and just in general with their name.
Spence/Garcia are the two best PBC fighters with an opportunity to take it to another level. Easy choice if you ask me on who to put Pacquiao in with.
If Pacquiao is supposed to be a starmaking scalp, he's got to have some momentum going for him.
A Thurman fight/win or a Mikey Garcia fight/win does that for him; it shows that Pacquiao still has fight in him, for Spence to then overcome.

Haymon shouldn't be rewarding someone like Thurman here with a fight vs Pacquiao. His time as a potential star has passed. Time to keep it moving.

"This what makes Floyd Mayweather really damn good. He returned after nearly a years retirement, and schooled Juan Manuel Marquez the 2nd pound for pound boxer in 2009 while Keith Thurman struggled against a C Level boxer in Josesito Lopez after his nearly 2 years hiatus."

Then, maybe he makes things interesting enough to draw out Berto/Lopez, and then we'll see.
