[QUOTE=The plunger man;19507178]If they fight I would bet on Thurman winning. I give him at least a slight edge. He looks vulnerable so Pacquiao has a decent shot at winning. Thurman won't stand around and wait to get beat up though. He's also got plenty of power to hurt Manny and to reduce his output. Thurman won't throw 10 punches a round like Broner and down the stretch of a fight his stamina will likely be better than Manny's. The Pacman hasn't been fighting anyone who has pushed him hard except Jeff Horn. Thurman probably won't push Pac as hard as Horn but he'll push him a lot harder than Matthssye and Broner .., and he's a much craftier, stronger, bigger, better fighter than those 2 have ever been.
Thurman calls out Manny Pacquiao again: “Pacman sign the contract already!”

I know what you mean. If Pac doesn't hurt Thurman badly he will have a helluva fight and at his age he will have a very difficult time beating a guy like Thurman. I'm a Pacquiao fan but I really think people are overestimating Manny and underestimating Thurman. This wouldn't be an easy fight if Manny was at his best, never mind now that Manny has slowed down. Everyone who believes that Manny will beat Thurman is hanging their belief on the assumption that Manny will hurt Thurman....They forget that Thurman has skills and can crack hard enough to stop Manny...They're also forgetting Manny's age and mediocrity of his last few opponents.Comment

Thurman didnt look great in last fight just like fury didn't before facing wilder. But that means little.
Thurman is cherry picking PAC. And Thurman will likely win decision. If it goes distance he will win like Bradley didComment
