I like the body language I see out of him.

More so than Thurman's who seems to be laboring heavily in every training vid I've come across.

Thurman always keeps his training under wraps, you never get many videos, topless pictures of him etc, he doesn't give anything away but 5 minute warm-downs which is why he's always heavily laboring in the videos you have seen.

It's the same for all his fights.

I don't know, man.

Pacquiao looks motivated and excited. Thurman looks like this whole thing is a chore to him.

Maybe that's a reflection of how hard he's working?

Pacquiao is working hard too.

But there's a joy and a bounce to his step while he's doing it. Thurman doesn't have that, he looks like he's just gritting his way through.

Pac always looks like a beast in training, it's not predictive of his performance.

I'm not commenting about Pac looking like a beast in training.

What caught my eye is his positive body language. As opposed to Thurman's which seems more negative and labored.
