Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Wanted Best Available Guy in Thurman, Says Gibbons

[The Big Dunn]

you're suggesting!!!! you're suggesting that if manny could have fought a guy coming off a loss that could earned him $20 mil then he would. so i am asking you when has this ever happen?

if you're not suggesting that then why bring that up in the first place???!!!! and before you call anyone a immature fanboy, please take a look at your post first. that's the definition of a fanboy.

You can't read. That is the problem.

I responded to you regarding Manny fighting guys coming off a loss in the past. He did that, so there is nothing more to discuss on that end.

Then I posted the reason he picked Thurman was because he wants to earn $20+ mil NOW FOR HIS NEXT FIGHT and no one helps him do that IMO right now other than Spence or Thurman. If he could find someone now coming off a loss that could hellp him earn what he wants to now, IMO he would fight them.

Those are 2 separate things. You, like a cum gurgling stan, are combining them into one thing and then asking me about it, because you took it as a Manny diss when it was initially a response to Bronx2245.. I am not going to answer something I didn't post about.

i get what you're saying. what i am asking you is that who did he fought in the past that was coming off a loss that earned him $20 mil??? or are you just using your opinion as facts again? you have a problem doing this. this is what i am calling you out on!!!

i said bob because that's what you posted!! "bob said pac vs algieri was better than floyd vs maidana"!!! so now you finally admit that you cant take what bob, koncz and roach is saying? lol. that's what i have been saying all along!!!

so someone said arum blocked the pac/crawford fight to save crawford and you didnt like that so what do you do? you come in and say bob did that to protect manny instead! you see what you did. you're only choosing when to believe arum and when not too!

When the person says Bob blocked the fight, and I'm very familiar with the person, I know he's repeating what Bob admitted to! However, he cherry picked what Bob said, and I posted the "entire" admission! Now his choice is to deny that Bob "blocked" the fight, or accept that Bob "blocked" the fight to protect Manny!

I'm very familiar with you, and this isn't our first rodeo! You haven't been saying that Bob, Freddie, and Koncz were FOS "all along!" I admire you for your admiration of Pacquiao, and your advocacy for Manny, but you totally suck at it! Anyone with half a brain, that's following this debate would agree! Your emotions are too high! You feel that I disrespected Manny by saying that Mr. Gibbons is correct, that Thurman is the most proven, however he is incorrect that Thurman is "The Best Available!" That small departure from what you want to hear, "Manny chose the best WW," caused you to defend some ****** ish, and you're still doing it! 95% of the fans on here know that Thurman is not better than Spence and Crawford, and you even went so dumb as to say "Well they haven't proven they could beat Josesito Lopez!"

You're in full free fall, and you need to stop! Enjoy watching the fight on 7/20! If you want to believe Manny is beating the best WW in the game, go right ahead! I hope he wins, and I hope Spence wins, and I hope Crawford wins his next fight! Why? Just to see Manny choose between "The Best Available!"

I said he'd pick Thurman all along, because if you look through his resume he always picks fighters coming off losses and bad performances recently. That's what Pac does.

Does that also mean Timothy Bradley and Mayweather?

Yep. His team were saying Mayweathers legs had gone. They waited until Mayweather was half the fighter he used to be, still easily defeated Pacquiao though.

Don’t twist it around, when Pac and Mayweather fought, Pac was no longer the juggernaut he used to be and he already got KO’d cold. He maybe 2 years younger than Mayweather but he’s been in several countless wars and got more battle scars than Mayweather who would never fight toe to toe!

Seriously, Danny g & Shawn P?? They're C+ level...they'll never step close to Crawford...both pops will make sure, regardless of the $$$$ involved!

C+ is a bit low Bruv, be fair there at least B+ & B- fighters.

thurman most proven at 147 compare to the rest of the young guns!!!

He may be the most proven at 147 but he looked well rusty in his last fight. It's goner be a tough nite for Thurman.

"Best available fighter" is a lame excuse. There was nothing really preventing him from fighting Spence. He was at the Spence-Mikey fight and would've probably picked Mikey as his next fight had he won. He went for Thurman instead because of how vulnerable he looked against Josesito. Thurman is still a credible opponent but let's not pretend he didn't duck Spence.

Who really gives a flying **** about any of the **** your saying, Pac man is a legend the last of his era and based on that fact he's entitled to fight / pick who ever he wants and it turns out that Thurman is the lucky fighter with the massive pay day coming in July which is what all today's top fighters want.
