Is Thurman the hardest puncher Pac has in 9 years?

Originally posted by megh50 View PostYeah, I saw that too. I agree with you...No way is Marquez feather fisted. He's a big puncher. Manny also fought De LaHoya, Cotto, Mosely and Margarito who would also be considered punchers on Thurman's level

I think Thurman is being overlooked in this fight.
Thurman's speed or power isn't Manny's biggest obstacle... he's facing the biggest obstacle we all have to face- time.
Manny Pac is a dinosaur and he has been visibly on the decline for a while now.
Thurman could potentially hurt him bad and end his career.

I'm neutral on this fight I don't like it or hate itOriginally posted by danceswithfire View Postyup i believe so....biggest challenge since floyd hands down
50/50 fight to me
I am obviously rooting for Manny but I think he will get hurt in this fight.
I hope I'm wrong. How many more fights left in his deal with PBC?

With the exception of Marquez and Matthysse, he may very well be. But I still don't think he's gonna stand and trade in front of Pac. He still needs to use his power using timing and proper pivoting to lure and KO Pac. Only Marquez has done that.

Or Matthysse, but Matthysse was shot and never that good anyway.Originally posted by diplo View PostWell, Thurman hasn't had a stoppage since Julio Diaz in 2014, but yes he's a heavy hitter. Pacquiao was just caught perfectly from a single punch from Marquez, apart from that I don't think I've ever seen him hurt (yes I've seen that he was KO'd twice earlier in his career). They say the last thing to go is power, so I guess Matthyse is a harder puncher than Thurman, but obviously was too shot to be able to use whatever power he still had.

Originally posted by Damn Wicked View PostI highly doubt Matthysse ever had as much power as Thurman. Matthysse was a career Junior welterweight. Aside from my confidence that Thurman is/ was a much harder puncher, he is also clearly a significantly bigger, fresher and MUCH more skilled fighter than Lucas is and was.Last edited by diplo; 05-25-2019, 04:00 AM.

Originally posted by O Prophet View PostLast few years Pac has mostly fought featherfisted boxers like Bradley, Mayweather, Marquez, Algieri, Horn, Rios, and shot Matthyse.
Thurman has explosive KO power in both hands. Will 40 year old Pacs chin hold up?
Remember Pac was dropped by JMM in the 3rd round in their last fight and dropped by Hussein too.
Thurman has been hurt but never dropped.
