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

[Calibaloc]

Yep..Thurman looked weak vs a lesser opponent. But its gonna backfire! Thurman knows this is the most important/biggest fight of his career. And plus that fight was his first since a long layoff.

Yeah. THis is one fight that hard to call for me. Im excited to see it but I think Pac should have fought Porter instead. Thats a definite win for him IMO. If Thurman can hadble pacs speed, Pac will loss via decision.

if that's the case then manny would have picked mikey garcia!!! you know manny doesnt have to fight thurman right??? you know this right? what happen to manny only fight guys coming off a loss???

Forget the maybe if and he is not fighting the loser of Spence Garcia after calling out and running away from the winner, fact is Manny picked KT the moment he looked so bad.

I've seen this and known this for years....Thurman's style is tailor-made for Pac. The "veteran" will punish Thurman who will likely quit on his stool as oppose to go out on his shield.

Thurman hooks too wide, he’s going to eat straight lefts all night... its a good fight though because of his size and power. Thurman has to kill pac’s body which is possible so long as Thurman doesnt lose his own head first lol... but i too was saying, at this point, thurman is actually the safest top welter for pac.

Calm down a little. I know you get very emotional about pac, but chill. Im trying not to be as verbally abusive to some of you on here as I use to be.

Can you deny that Thurman is not coming off a long lay off, injuries, and not so good looking fight against a journeyman and face first brawler like Lopez? WHy do you think he picked Thurman instead of Spence then? I said Pac needs to be commended but I also peep game...

i never had any convo with you in the past up until now. so what are you talking about in the bolded??? who's alt is this?!

going by that logic, why didnt manny pick mikey then???? i thought manny only fight guys coming off a loss? you know manny doesnt have to fight thurman right? just like how yall said he ducked spence. so you know he can also duck thurman then right?? you know this right??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... try and read it (again) like this: "I didn't want to see Pac retired by Spence, after a meaningless slaughter, me too"...

(and also read my posts above...)

So you are admitting Manny isn't telling the truth?

The standards for pac so high that a man of thurman quality is a cherry pick? Floyd should try challenge some middleweight champs and super middleweight champs coming off poor performances and try be a 7 division champ if it's that easy.
Floyd avoided thurman so did spence and crawfird. It's pac s stepping up to plate.
Don't you think Pac could choose someone easier than thurman at this stage? Floyd went around saying he could beat Ggg and then don't prove it. That's far worse than Pac saying he will fight winner of spence/garcia.
In fact Floyd should challenge some 160 lb and 168 lb champs coming off poor wins to be a 7 division champ. See if he's brave enough

You could have just left it at Floyd "health first" Mayweather ducking Pac in his prime. One way or another, you can be d@mn sure Haymon will want the winner of Pac-Thurman to face Spence. Unless Pac wins by KO, I wouldn't be surprised if a rematch is set up to give Thurman another shot at Pac. A Spence-Thurman fight would save a lot of face in avoiding Crawford for a little while longer.

It's true, before the 2 year INJURY layoff, Thurman was a certi top 10 p4p fighter, with a win over Pacman, he can reclaim a spot. This is a hellova fight.

You just keep copying and pasting the same generic reply to everyone. You can't refute anything that's FACT and these are the facts. Mickey just lost to a bigger guy maybe pac feels Mickey is more dangerous than a guy coming off a long lay, injuries, and a bad showing. Go ask your god why he picked him. Doesn't change the facts.

Yeah, well, Pac-Spence would be Pac-Margarito in the reverse though.

No way man. Pac will make spence miss all night. Spence chance is if he can land a lucky shot.
