    Berto was apparently Thurman's mando.

    Like I say, I don't really care though. He proved he was the best of his gen and the guy was finishing out his contract. I was disappointed because I wanted to see him tested but I don't believe for a second that he ducked Keith, or that there was any real threat.

    And, for the record, I'm a Pac fan and not a Mayweather fan. I just don't believe in being dishonest about this shyt. It's embarrassing how ******ed a lot of Pac fans are with their Floyd hate.
    so you dont see it as a duck even though, during that time, the fight between floyd vs thurman would have made more sense than a fight now between manny vs spence right? yet, floyd fans going around saying manny is ducking spence but this is not ******ed to you right? but pac fans saying floyd avoided thurman back when thurman was his mando is straight out ******ed to you right? lol.

      Berto, Conor, and an Asian lightweight?

      And these Floyd Boys have a moist meltdown when anyone suggests Floyd took his foot off the gas pedal, whilst proclaiming himself the best ever.

      Floyd knew that guys like Dunn and Iron Dan would defend him whilst he ducks out of a ww division that was stacking up with some better than average talent. An obvious pattern that the Floyd Boys refuse to acknowledge.

        You would always get emotional fan boys who would say those things. You have to take it with a pinch of salt.

          I saw the poor grammar in the title and immediately knew this was your thread

          Give it a rest. You're obsessed.

            no, thurman isn't that good and styles make fights. floyd would fight him and win every round.


            he wouldn't fight prime spence, though. too much risk, not enough reward. we need to be honest about floyd's career.

              Im a floyd fan but yeah.. he ducked thurman.

              why defend this? it happened.

              i remember keith was his mandatory for WBA. i remember floyd telling him to beat spence first and it was this that got the spence hype on overdrive when Floyd said this.

                Some Pac fans still have an inferiority complex I see

                    so then why didnt floyd do that?? wouldnt a win over thurman be better than maidana and berto? i mean if all 3 fights were gonna be that easy.

                      maidana had just beaten adrien broner and made it onto ESPN, keith thurman was a nobody. and berto was supposed to be the final fight of his career, instead he fought connor mcgregor and an exhibition.


                      nobody will look back on boxing history will say that "floyd ducked keith thurman." you're not worth the time it takes to type out a 50 word response if you can't understand that.
