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

[hugh grant]

out of Thurman, spence, crawford, thurman is the strongest ww and most proven. Pac would get most respect for beating the proven fighter, not fighter coming off last best win in last fight.
He has the names in his cv, plus he passed eye test. Crawford and spence have just passed eye test.
P acs critics ie Floyd fans are making too much of thurman under par performance in last fight? If nel or Ggg had under par performance at 160 in their next fight would Floyd take them on for a 6th title in different weights? Don't think so.

Best available not named Spence🥊

Thurman is not the strongest, but definitely the most proven! But out of Thurman, Spence, Crawford, Porter, and Danny Garcia, Thurman had the worst performance! Pac could've fought Crawford a long time ago, and didn't, so we know he's being very careful in his choices! I think Thurman vs. Pacquiao is a GREAT fight, but it is what it is!

Lol , calls out winner of Spence Garcia and sits ringside, winner says ok lets do it and Manny takes of and picks Thurman who looked like dog sht last fight.

Dont you get sick of youre own BS, its obvious that Mannys motive is to pick the path of least resistance without fighting a guy coming off a loss, but it might backfire with KT out boxing him.

Wont write Thurman off since Williams shut me up & Hurd let me down

Spence had to stop his little ass from sneaking out the ring. Puts a poll up and Spence's name isnt even on it.

There is a video on youtube where gibbons basically admits they are cherrypicking. The plan is to hang around hoping for a floyd rematch so they are aiming for the least resistance, his words were something like "spence is too young, big and strong, pacquiao is old, he's just running a victory lap". What's funny is people really think thurman is less of a threat than spence, vs spence pacquiao actually had a chance to win.

Well, Floyd can claim he could beat Ggg he has no special effects yet don't prove it. That's w orse..
Thurman is a great fighter coming off an under par performance.
Floyd has a under par performance ag ainst madiana are you implying you'd not have got credit for beating Floyd after floyds controversial win over maidana? Hatton had some under par performances before Floyd beat him does Floyd not deserve credit? If Floyd fought Ggg at 160 after Floyd saw Ggg have an Su b par performance would Floyd not get credit for 6 division titles and beating Ggg when floyds 40 years old with 74 fights under belt?
Thurman got all advantages. Floyd ducked him when he was 36 years old. Why isn't thurman being accused of cherry picking pac

Pac wanted to fight crawford but arum blocked the fight. I think arum isn't confident that crawford can beat a senator from the Philippines.
