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

[Guest]

For the good of boxing, Thurman should knock pac out cold so that his fans could go away for good. Then again, we've already seen him ko'd cold and they still won't stop their delusional beliefs that he's the goat.

Just because Pac has rabid, somewhat delusional fans is no reason not to like him as a boxer. You can separate fighters from fans.

Thurman would win and then go on sabbatical for 2 years in ****ladesh with his didgeridoo. Not sure that is better. Thurman's flaky.

Yeah the best guy available. Spence had to tell him to get his little ass back over here trying to sneak out the ring.

spence fight will happen once manny gets pass thurman. just keep that same energy you have there. i dont want to hear any of this "spence looked terrible in his last fight" crap just like how yall down playing thurman now

Actually it's you that is gonna have to "keep that same energy".

Pac aint getting past Thurman.

And as for Errol, it's clear Manny is much more comfortable fighting almost anyone else but Spence.

This cherrypick is going to backfire tho.

Big time.

Truth is, Pac's a small guy, on a small island's senate, who owes the IRS big money here in the US! Call it what it is!!

now thurman is a cherry pick? lmao!! yall hear this fella here. lol.

You gave people permission to **** on Pac.

you should be demanding pac vs spence next so that when pac ducks the fight you can come on here and make fun of manny!

You can't be defending him now.

This is a good fight for Pacquiao but he chose Thurman because he looked most vulnerable.

Josesito looked huge compared to Thurman and he came to fight. Pacquiao will not have any advantages other than maybe speed. I think this fight will not go as most Pacquiao fans are expecting.

Al haymon for the win again....excellent fight and looking forward to another fight party. Once again proving the dlh/hearns propaganda of “pay per view is dead” is a complete load of old
Bllx

Manny’s gonna cornhole Thurmans buttocks with his fist

[lion33lit]

well, good thing that was his last fight!!!! if pac cherry picked then it would be guys like amir khan. those are cherry pick opponent. you know manny doesnt have to fight thurman right?? why you keep ignoring this one? lol. you know pac could have just ducked thurman like how he did spence and crawford remember?? bruh, whatever you say, pac picking thurman is a step above the rest. this is why yall so mad! yall wanted amir khan type caliber! just be honest!!!

Well said! 40yr old past prime Pac is taking on the guy that edged out both tough as nails Garcia & former wild as hell mma Porter (he's calmed down now).....

Khan or Mikey wouldv been "acceptable" by the majority of boxing fans because Pac is now old in boxing yrs!....He sure is ambitious though, or he could be suffering from dimentia to even consider someone that could now most likely blast out his nemesis Marquez in two.

Thurman can ONLY be better now, he's no content underachiever slacker, he survived that 7th rnd scare like a trooper against the bigger determined Lopez in his last fight. If it wasnt for his elbow he'd have been out there playing his flute giving ALL the welters a run for their money - including Spence!
