    This is exactly what I assumed would happen. Thurman is very beatable and if he does, much more bargaining leverage when he unifies with spence.

    Good move by team Pac.

      That's my expectation; unless he just can't physically get down to 135lbs any longer, nothing else really makes sense.

        while thurman clearly won but was badly hurt in his last fight. the narrative will be that he "struggled"

        So im guessing the betting line will be about even. god forbid they might even place a 40 year old pac as the favorite. i happen to believe pac has looked as good as he has in his last two fights because of his opponents. thurman is still much bigger, fresher, and stronger then pacman. im a pac fan but i think this is the one he gets dominated and officially stamps his ticket out of the WW picture
        I agree. This might be the last time Pac fights at this level.



        Still, War Pac

          This is intriguing with Pac's age and Thurman's vulnerability from his last fight. PPV worthy.

          I wouldn't pay a cent for Spence vs Porter though.

            Agree with this here.

              Good matcu up because they are evenly competitive at the moment. Thurman cannot ride his bicycle all night because Pac eill come after him.

              I see a real good bout right here.

                I'd love to see this more than Pac/Spence fight as a filipino.

                  I expect Pacquiao to be a full-time senator by the end of the year should he choose to fight Keith "One Time" Thurman.

                    This is a great fight. I would predict Pacquiao would win by U.D, and working the body a lot more.

                      I'll gladly post a picture of my betting stub if it's close to even money.

                      Pacquiao is ALL WRONG for Thurman. Thurman likes to pitter patter punch and move. He did it against Lopez, Collazo, Danny, and Porter. And Lopez and Collazo both severely hurt Thurman to the point of flat-out running away...and that was BEFORE he went on sebatical.

                      Pacquiao, even at his advanced age, will get to Thurman and will hurt him. Pac has the veteran craftsmanship to finish an injured fighter. Also, Keith doesn't have much of a chin. He's been on ***** street a handful of times in his career and was only able to finish because of how bad/limited his opponents were.

                      I'll gladly collect money from people like you though
