Comments Thread For: Roach: Thurman 'Terrible' In Last Fight; Will Run From Pacquiao

[SplitSecond]

Thurman can mix up his style very well offensively actually so you will see multiple looks from Thurman Offensively. You will see come forward, move laterally and work off the backfoot. He is not suppose to fight in a way that is Conducive to Pacquiao that is how Boxing Works. It is Annoying to hear Trainers cry about their fighters opponent "STYLE" to me that is them telling on themselves. Roach and Abel Sanchez always does this and ironically enough none of their fighters are good at cutting the ring off. So they come out and say this to try and shame their opponent to fight in a style that is conducive to their fighter

Golovkin is an atg in terms of ring cutting skills. Although i know most of you think ring cutting is inside fighting or keeping a guy pinned to the ropes.

Pac s had countless triologies like the four kings, duran, srl, hearns, hagler.
Pac s fought ,barrera, morales jmm nine times. There was a triangle of cotto, Pac and margarita fighting each other. So Pac s did it all and he's started ball rolling with third quarte t now. Thurman, spence, Crawford not fought each other y et?
That's why Pac s the best ever. It's mind boggling what Pac s done and prepared to do

Despite all that, haters refuse to acknowledge Pac’s accomplishments because he’s from another country.

Nope you're wrong
Pac was never an easy fight guy
Thurman has a belt
Pac wants it..period

broner, matthysse, horn, algieri, rios. those are names in his last 9 fights. tell us again how he dont go after easy fights? he was in the drivers seat. he could have fought spence next if he wanted.

Western champ is eating you dude with logic. lmao...and you gave up replying..your reasoning is not that good. lol

These losers spent their Friday pissing in the wind & flaming each other on a forum. No winners here.

Thurman will only look to run/find a breather if he gets hurt. I expect to see the same Thurman that fought Garcia and Porter. Pacquiao will have his hands full.......This fight should be an entertaining war. Pacquiao isn't fighting a coward like Broner

Thats exactly the way I see it too. I'm jus hoping Manny surprises us with a good competitive performance. He's training like a testosterone fueled prime version of himself, so "maybe" he can turn the clock back(?). Thurman on the other hand IS smart, IS explosive when & where he needs to be. And still very much in his prime. Gauging him on his last fight aint too smart at all....expect an exceptional version of Thurman....If Manny provides a "miracle" win, then I guess the night will be even more special

Westernchamp was a champ in answering the questions of the foolish guy. He just can't answer them all now so he said he'd stop.

Good to go Westernchamp!

He's a legend that most keyboard warriors can't accept. People probably will appreciate him when he's gone like Ali.

Pac has had great accomplishments, yes, but when you consider he went life and death 3 times with JMM, and got KTFO in their 4th meeting, it speaks volumes when Floyd shut out and toyed with JMM during that time.

Is it a coincidence that Pac's prime was also during the time where he refused any random testing, giving bogus excuses why he couldn't or shouldn't?

Who was Spence best win again?

Exactly.

Thurman already beat Danny and Porter.

Spence needs to add names on his record before fighting someone like Pacquiao.

A, B and C theory? Just like Ali went life and death 3 times with Frazier, Foreman almost killed Frazier twice and Ali brutally KO’d Foreman.

Is it also a coincidence that Pac’s prime was also during the time where he became a politician, singer, movie star and changed his religion? Politics alone will take its toll on any fighter, how much more when he juggles between boxing, politics, singing, acting and religion.

Boxers like Pac, Marquez, Cotto, GGG, Loma, Rigo, Chocolatito, Lara, just to name a few didn’t get the recognition they deserve because they’re not from here.
