Comments Thread For: Thurman: Manny Pacquiao Is Too Small, Slow and Predictable

[Boxknowledge75]

Manny's moves are predictable now - and probably have been for a good while - but it's hard to come up with new shti after 70+ fights.

Manny is more hitable now that he had lost a step at 40. He's defense was his activity in offense.
Oh, wait...almost forgot I'm a HATER... He's gotta be still on peds, if he wasn't he's body would've declined and broken down already! Can't be natural!

Too slow to keep up! runtime got the usian bolt sprint for him.

A prime Pacquiao would definitely beat a prime Thurman but nothing beats father's time.. Pacquiao has lost a step or two in speed and his punches now aren't that devastating anymore... I expect Thurman to easily beat Pacquiao on points and won't be surprised if he stop him

Idk if Thurman can walk anybody down.. .

LOL. He knocked Leonard Bundu down in the first then ran away from him the rest of the fight. Dude is weird.

thurman is doing this all wrong... he should be hyping manny up! lol. dont get mad when/IF you beat manny and everyone says you beat an old man then lol.

Thurman is one of those dudes who think he's smarter than everybody.

small - yes, slow - no way, predictable - maybe ...

Thurman sounds like a fan trolling Pac’s fanbase.

I like it, he’s creating hype for the fight. Americans don’t really care about boxing anymore, so Thurman is playing the black bad guy to gain fans’ attention. Idk what Americans hate more in sports than a trash talking black boxer who wins fights. Jack Johnson, Ali (hated by Americans in his prime), Mayweather, Hopkins, and Wilder know.

To be fair , Johnson Ali and mayweather were in a completely different level when it came to backlash, criticism , hate etc.
hopkins and especially wilder , never really achieved mainstream notoriety. they were marginalized by people who already somewhat followed boxing. those first three you mentioned were globally hated. (at the time of the careers for ali/johnson)

Dude, don’t get mad. Thurman’s selling this fight. *******s will buy this fight to see/hope mannyshut Thurman up

If PAC is slow and predictable, what was Lopez? Thurman better not be taking Manny lightly.

[-Kev-]

I believe this is normal behavior for Keef. Every time he’s in a confrontation with another boxer or potential opponent he behaves this way. Even with or without a fight contract. He really has PAC motivated for this fight. This is a big mistake on Thurman’s part. He should have just let the old dog lie.

If Pac is motivated and comes to give it his best and turn back the clock, that’s good. Nobody wants to see an old fighter actually look old in big fights. It’s better if it’s a competitive fight for sure. So if Thurman is making him mad and making him want to come to fight that’s good. We don’t want a dud, we want a FOTY candidate.
