Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Expects All-Action, Not Ring Rust, From Thurman

[Roadblock]

So Pac at 40 will be fighting the supposed number one welter on the planet, man the guy is a legend.

I think he beats Thurman too. Mark it.

No 1 WW on the planet youre delusional, he ran from the best !

thurman is actually the #1 at 147. most proven, whether you want to admit it or not. you cant be the most proven at 147 with wins over guys like small mikey garica and chris algieri man..

With the height and reach advantage and how long Keith can box I think Thurman can out box him .

nope.. too fast too awkward... thurman needs to stay back and pick his shots wisely. work on his timing.

keith is only 5'7 or so that's what it says with a 69" reach. pac is listed at 5'5 1/2 with a 67" reach. it's not that big of an advantage to be able to capitalize on it.

Pacman is moving like an ATG right now, taking on the #1 welterweight in the world at 40 years old.

We all know Spence and Crawford are the best at 147, KT looked so bad last time after a serious surgery thats the only reason Manny took the fight.

But you can make current Keith out to be whatever you like there is a reason Manny sht his pants when Spence said lets go.

no, how so??? look, spence and crawford may be able to beat thurman, MAYBE, but that still doesnt mean they're the most proven at 147!!! who the fook has crawford beat at 147??!!! and spence??? lol!! come on man, dont do this to yourself man.

I think Thurman has skill. I soured on him due to his long layoffs, and used the slur “part time” as opposed to “one time”. He struggled against Lopez. But fighting Manny is what I hoped for. I don’t think it will be fireworks. Might take a lot of time for the distance to close, especially if Thurman is in better form than his last fight. I’m leaning towards three different scores by the judges. Aka Nobody really wins.

Thurman is more athletic than skilled.

Floyd fans criticise Lomochenko and say he isn't pfp no1 as he not fought anyone and only passed eye test. That Nelo should be no1 as he beat better fighters whilst maybe not looking as good as Lomo doing it? Floyd fans are obviously biased and want Nelo to be no1 as Floyd as CW win over Nelo.
Now they are changing tune and saying Spence and Crawford are the best as they passed eye test having beat no one of note. And that Thurman is nobody as he didn't pass eye test and looked garbage in last fight. Even though Thurman has the proven resume.?
Theres no reason Spence and Crawford should be rated above Thurman. Even if Thurman had an off night. If Spence and Crawford want to be rated above Thurman youd expect them to have wins over Thurman at the very least. Thurman was a somebody in boxing before they were. I saw no changing of the guard moment.

Thurman is taking fight too soon after damn near 3 yr layoff. Pac always has to have some catchweight edge or usually someone coming off injury or loss. Dela Hater was drained and Cotto was hurt from plastered gloves b4 Pac fought them. Im not hating, Im just stating!!

If that's true I hope it back fires on Pac man and Thurman gets the stop.
