Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Let's See if Loudmouth Thurman Can Back Up Talk!

[radiotracer]

Floyd won the National GG as a light flyweight when he was sixteen. He won an Olympic bronze as a featherweight at nineteen. And won his first professional world title like a year later at 130. Very similar to the weights Manny was fighting at at the same ages.

Lomachencko won the jr world championship at like 17 as a flyweight. He won his first Olympic gold medal as a featherweight at like 19-20. Again, very similar to the weights Manny was fighting at at the same ages.

World championship belts.
Let’s compare apples to apples.

It seems like any time a fighter signs with PBC, some level of trash talking is encouraged/expected.

I don't expect to see fireworks between them. Thurman is now more of a defensive counter-puncher, and prefers to circle on the outside and pot shot while being very economical with his punches. Pac is no longer the speedy dynamo who throws 60-70 punches per round. This fight likely resembles a chess match more than a grudge match.

You just made an argument that Pacquiao is "small" even at 140! Now you're saying he would be at a disadvantage at 140! If he's "small" at 140, why would he want Crawford at 147? That makes no sense!

He's the A-side, Yes he's small even at 140 but he don't want to be on a disadvantage that's why he wants Crawford at 147 but Crawford got shook.

Ouch that last line has a nice subtle salty jab at Adrien "Not A Problem" Broner.

Got my tickets to the fight. Going with my brother. We'll be at section 19.
Good undercard of fights too.

This is gonna be a close fight. Might go 7-5 split win or draw.

The discussion was about natural size and how Manny isn’t as small as people make him out to be. You went way out in left field trying to prove whatever point you’re trying to prove.

But if you wanna go that route, fine, I’ll play along. Floyd and Lomachencko spent their years competing as high level amateurs. Manny spent his teenage years fighting in ****** gymnasiums and outdoor dirt arenas because he comes from a s.hitty country that allows little kids to fight grown men. And the competition he was fighting wasn’t all that great. The guys Floyd and Loma were fighting as high level amateurs were better. Ironically, Floyd won his first world title before Manny did even though Manny has been fighting professionally longer. And Lomachencko won his first title in his third fight. I still don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.

Pac will fight one of the giants again. A lightweight fighting a welterweight.

i dont care what buboy says bruh. can you make a post without bringing in links and what others says? im talking about you! you were part of the pack that was running around here saying thurman didnt look good, etc. now you switching up saying manny has never fought anyone on thurman's level in a long time?

and bubo saying they picked thurman because he looked bad is buboy's way of dissing thurman for the stuff thurman said about manny. even though he doesnt know that saying that makes it looks like they're cherry picking thurman, but the truth is, he is saying that as a diss.

You're a funny guy! LMAO!!!!

Please explain how a "small" guy at 140 is at a disadvantage at 140, but he has the advantage at 147! Stop embarrassing yourself!
