Pacquiao-Thurman Fight Comparisons

[Left Hook Tua]

Is it gonna be like Pacquaio-Mosley or Pacquiao-Clottey?

After tasting GrandPac's power......

Is Thurman gonna backpedal all night and refuse to engage like Mosley did?

Or just keep his hands up all night and not throw punches like Clottey did?

[Boxing Scene]

They all think they can take his power. The only one who REALLY could take it and not ever get stung was Mayweather. Everyone else got stung in pretty much every fight by him. I'm sure there are small examples where it didn't happen but Keith is ****** in thinking Pac can't hurt him.

Sorry but if the 2016/17 version of thurman shows up then Pac will take a bad beating. I feel bad for saying it but pac better pray Thurman is still rusty like he was against lopez.

Mayweather just has a great defense

Plus hes a master at controlling distance and pace

Pac had to reach to get him and that takes away power

The version of Thurman that had close fights with porter and Danny garcia?

Didnt look that spectacular when jumping up to decent opposition huh?

That's how you can tell about the level of a fighter.

When he jumps up to solid opposition, how does he compare?

Close, arguable fights.

Tells me Thurman is in the porter, Danny Garcia class of fighter.

Even washed up pac is levels beyond that class.

They weren't really arguable fights, Thurman beat them clearly.

That version of Thurman is just too athletic and powerful for little Pacquiao. It wouldn't surprise me if Pac gets knocked out.

However, that is only if Thurman doesn't looked washed up again liked he did against Lopez. Those injuries might have completely changed Thurman.

The only way to negate Pacquiao is having reach advantage, hand speed, and counters.

As you can see, Broner had all the qualities to beat Pacquiao, but instead, fought Pacquiao on the backfoot and backpedaling throughout the fight. But Broner was able to negate Pacquiao's offense, but not enough.

Thurman has reach advantage and good at counters. He has no hand speed. Watched most his fights in his prime and compare it to recent fights of Pacquiao side by side. This I tell you, Thurman slow as a turtle even in his prime. Instead of speed, he just try to muscle it out. Too slow and very open. If you ask me, Thurman is the perfect matchup for Pacquiao style-wise.

Pacquiao is the underdog according to bettors in Vegas. I'll be rich come July 20.

Thurman is slow?


I've heard it all now

And Pacquaio buzzed Floyd twice too.

Pretty sure that's the only time Floyd has been hurt twice in one fight.

Could be wrong though.

[GhostofDempsey]

A mix of Floyd (clinching and running), Clottey and possibly even Marquez with some quick counters. Thurman’s movement and counter pot shots could make for a long night for Manny.
