We knew this day might come old friend. May the best man win. The Pacman doing what our buddy Floyd didn't, at 40 years old!

Your dreaming... Neither of these 2 are number 1 at 147.

Why not? No active welterweight has a better resume than either of these guys.

PAC dodged CRAWFORD for 5yrs and we just saw PAC pump fake on the SPENCE fight. I'm not impressed that PAC wants THURMAN who is coming off 2.5yr layoff.

Love him or not, no 40 yr old has fought the upper echelon in the smaller weight classes. Gotta give it to him here.

Pacquiao is past it and Thurman hasn't fought anybody in 2+ years after winning 2 close decisions over Porter and Garcia and ducking a willing Spence in the process... It's amazing that they even let Thurman keep the 1 belt he has for so long. You can't stay at #1 for chit you did over 2 years ago.

If Pacquiao:boxing is given a controversial draw where most will think he lost in this fight, and then do a little better in a close rematch and then get the nod in a boring fight against Spence he will be tied as pound for pound best along side Canelo. These type of results apparently make you pound for pound best.

Uhmm.. didnt you realize this is a setup for a bigger payday if Pac wins he gets to fight against Spence in a Huge PPV fight, if Thurman wins, Thurman gets to fight Spence in a huge PPV fight.

This is a setup for maximum profit gain. And to say Pac is flaking off against Spence is narrow minded of you. Pac doesn't even have to fight at this age. All this is a gift seeing a legend still fight to this day and still have some left in the tank.

That is exactly my point bud.

Thurman already got Garcia and Porter on his record

Spence has Brook.

Crawford did well at other weights but got nobody of note at Welter.

Should be a good fight both guys have good styles and I think they will mesh well.

Can Thurman get back to his best?
