Comments Thread For: Thurman Pleads His Case For A Manny Pacquiao Superfight

[Removed Now]

I feeling back Crawford him being with Arum really hurt his career options. He likes fighting bums for money anyway.

It's funny to think that with the WW division being one of the best divisions in boxing that pac at 40 is still competitive enough that some believe he can still compete with guys like Porter and Thurman lol It shows how good pac is. I believe if Pac beats Thurman or Porter, Floyd may come out of retirement to fight Manny again lol

Both guys have something to gain in this fight, it makes sense. It would sell easily north of 500k PPVs and the fight itself is first class.

Porter talks like he wants Spence NOW, but a few months ago he was saying "I cant fight Spence bc I'm not ranked by ibf". Literally justifying his own duck bc of some alphabet ranking.

MMAPorter is too damn pathetic

I agree. I said the exact same thing. Back at the WBC convention, if Porter really wanted to unify the titles with Eroll Spence Jr, then Mauricio Sulaiman would have granted and acquiesced his request.

However, no he was very silent and mum throughout the entire convention about fighting Erroll because he was afraid.

He didn't want no smoke from Erroll Spence then. That's why the WBC made Keith Thurman their mandatory WBC Emeritus champion.

Now many of Shawn Porter's apologists are saying that the reason why the fight didn't happen because Haymon wanted the Garcia/Spence fight which is a bunch of hogwash.

Since when does a voluntary defense trumps a unification or an undisputed bout?

... and I never was a true Pacman's fan... I only watch this sport...

I hear ya

Set it up!

Thurman is with PBC, The #1 Contender/His Mandatory is Alexander Bes*****, seems like a LOOOOOONG time since Thurman had a mandatory
1. When is he due to mandatory challenger?
2. Can this fight be made as they are with PBC And Top Rank?

It seems like Thurman is not bringing up Bes*****'s name is that because the fight can't be made due to politics?

Thank you in advance.

pOrter is more a more advanced HOrn. and Pac didnt nor want to fight him again. Pac has nowhere to run, its over

[SplitSecond]

He has earned it. And it'd make for a good tune-up as well as build his stock for a future fight with whoever.
