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

[pillowfists98]

Pac never wanted spence. He didn’t even add him to the poll he did. Pac was at the spence fight and “wanted the winner”. Only if Garcia won doe. He was available but didn’t want it

Good. I didn't want to see Pacquiao-Spence anyway.

Postol is better than Danny Garcia. Viktor beat Matthysse 10x more convincingly than the cherry boy did.

Man, you're an asshat. Postol lost to Josh Taylor. So your argument is that Postol is a more dangerous opponent than Thurman and that's the best you got for Crawford?

Isn't Danny Garcia Thurman's best win? You were the one talking about resumes. Cherry boy also has two unofficial loses to Herrera and Peterson.

Postol beat Danny Garcia or he beat Lucas past his prime? I forgot.

PAC sh#t his pants when SPENCE had him in the ring trying to make the fight. PAC chose THURMAN who's coming off 2.5 yr layoff. SPENCE is 29yrs old and he and PAC could have broken the record at Cowboy Stadium. Instead he's fighting 30 yr old THURMAN in a fight that should be free on Fox Sports. Smh!

Are you seriously chastising a 40 year old part time veteran boxer with
20+ years & 70+ fights under his belt for not fighting not only the biggest & probably physically strongest WW, but also arguably the current best WW in prime?

I'm a big fan of Spence but get real dude. I dont need Spence to beat up a war torn, way past his prime Pacman to recognize or solidify his greatness or standing in the sport.

As a boxing fan, be grateful a guy like Pacquiao is still even around cause he's literally the last of the last great era of boxing. He's earned the right to fight who he pleases cuz he's literally done it all & then some. So either enjoy it or don't watch.

Oh, & the fact that you pointed out that Thurman is 30 & Spence is 29 like there is such a huge age gap between them was hilarious. Either way Pacquiao is still 10 YEARS OLDER than both of them dummy lol

Danny gave up his title to avoid fighting Postol.

A 40 year old fighter is calling out one of the top three Welterweight in the world and people are calling him a cherry picker. You can't make this stuff up. He's going to lose and he should retire but he's not cherry picking.

Maybe if he fought Berto, Connor McGregor or some 122 lbs asian kick boxer kid who's never had a boxing match in his life, Pacquiao would get more credit. Thurman is better than anyone Crawford or Spence has fought. Pacquiao is going to get beat but this is definitely not a cherry pick.

Be thankful, If Manny's still in Top Rank, he's fighting Mike Alvarado 2 by now, right Bob!
