Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Feels Ready To Fight Keith Thurman - 'Right Now!'

[Bhobo*18]

Brash talking Thurman and like the rest of Pacman's past opponents changed their strategy once in the ring. No one dared to fight toe to toe or in thurman case "stood his ground". This fight can go either way but I will put my money on Pacman's experience thus giving him the edge.

You have to give Pac a little credit considering his age. Look at it like a glass hal filled. He did well for a 40 year old boxer. Bhop and Foreman looked great past 40. Only boxers I can think of off hand.

B-Hop is the only one I can think of that stayed at the absolute top of the game north of 40. He got by with his absolutely pinpoint fundamentals and discipline of execution.

George foreman got by with his size and freight train right hand.

Pacquiao's biggest strength has always been the effectiveness of his left hand, and his explosiveness. All of which have taken a huge dip.

If thurman brings the fight to him, keeping him at the end of his punches, I don't see how pacquiao can win.

If it turns into a brawl, thurman is too strong, too big, still at his prime. Pacquiao can only win if it turns into a boxing match, and where he can set up and snipe thurman. Thurman needs to bully him.

Settle down Pac.

Go do some ******** in the meantime.

After the fight thurman will understand why pac is the one and only 8 div champ and 5 div lineal champ.

Very well said and very well written! I’ve seen what Morales and Marquez have done to Pacquiao in their primes.

Keith Thurman is arguably more dangerous than both of those guys considering the size advantage. Pacquiao definitely has the chin to accept some leather.

With that being said, Keith will be leading this fight.

I'm not buying it lol. Putting my money on thurman.

Hope thurman comes to fight and doesn't prove me wrong. I've seen him step up to the occasion though.

Manny looked like shlt against broner, he's on a strong decline, like nearly every boxer north of 40.

Yeah Manny looked like shyt vs Broner, glad im not the only one who noticed. He just need the right opponent to show this decline.

If Pac still win here, i can say he is OTG. Thurman should get the decision at worst...

It's hard to ''look good'' vs an opponent who refuses to engage.

Pacman is unreliable right now, especially with his age. Mathysse is shot, Broner is a joke, Thurman will be the 1st legit fighter Pacquiao will have faced for a long time. Thurman's an elite and in his prime. It's hard to bet against him especially with an aging Grand Pac.

So Thurman for me
