Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Thurman is One of Boxing's Best Pound-for-Pound

[lopez36]

thurman was good but not that good anymore,,, he gets hit a lot.. the best are spence and crawford.. after thurmans last performance pac has better chance beating him instead of spence

[hugh grant]

IMO Thurman is like the weakest of all the top guys and Pac's best chance at winning. Make sense?

I don't know if he's weaker than Porter and Danny Garcia.
Definitely weaker than Spence and Crawford.

Excuses coming in already.
We know thurman looked under par in.last fight to get the Pac fight and to make Pac underestimate him. Even so thurman.may not have been at his best anyway but he is in prime of life, not had wars and only 30 fights.
And will be in best shape for pac, whilst he didn't think he would need to be for lopez.
This would be pac s best win taking into consideration pac s age. Pac will be FOTD again and cement himself as best of era.

... Pacman: "He is the best 147-[pounder] available at this time"...

I don't remember: did Pac call out Spence just after the Mikey fight?

No, it was Spence who called out Pac after the Mikey fight. Thurman has the super WBA belt so it makes sense to fight him first and unify the WBA belt. If he beats Thurman and decides to fight one more time, he should fight the winner of Spence vs Porter and unify the WBA, WBC and IBF belts and retire win or lose.

... Pacman didn't say it was a WBA business... he said: "He is the best 147-[pounder] available at this time"... that's why I asked...

... I'll be honest with you: having in mind Pac's age, I can't see how he would be able to win vs Thurman...

Thurman is no where near P4P. After he beats a guy like Crawford he can be known as P4P.

Thurman has a better resume than crawford. Thurman is a p fp guy. Thurman beat garcia, porter, collazo,and guerrero, that's major names if it's good enough for Floyd it's good for one time

This is gonna be good! Even at 40, I think Pacquiao can give Thurman some trouble! Pacquiao is too funny though! He saw Thurman, Porter, Spence, and DSG, and he thinks Thurman is the best @ 147? We all know why you picked him! We ain't mad at you, but keep it real Manny!

Crawford looks like a beast, but he's hasn't done anything @ 147 in comparison to Thurman! Horn, Benavidez, and Khan, don't even come close to Garcia, Porter, and Guererro!

Yes, they change their time when it suits them. They say lomo is nothing as he only passed eye test and fought nobody. Whereas Nell is no1 pfp because who he beat.
Well Crawford looks like a beast whilst not fighting anyone like lomo.
Thurman is best w w to fight for pac. Making Pac fo td again

[pasawayako]
