    Remember everyone that said Thurman beats Floyd?

    Just for the record.

    And I think Thurman outboxes Manny even if Thurman doesn't get the win through ref shenanigans.

    But IF - and I stress that, IF - Manny runs through Thurman and makes him look like a basic fighter somehow...I have two questions for you.

    1: Will you admit you were wrong and overrated Thurman based on the 'eye test'?

    2: With NO VADA testing, will you admit/acknowledge the probability of Manny using drugs for that win (since there was NO VADA testing for Matthysse either)?

    I'm not talking a close fight which is what I see as the outcome. I'm talking a complete dominant blowout from Mr. Pacquiao of a guy at the top of the rankings, which should be impossible. Will you admit?

    Thurman is obviously not the same fighter he was before the layoff.

      Come on man, let's not start with the excuses. Outside of one bad round against an aggressive Josesito he dominated the fight.

      Again, I see a close outcome either way. I'm saying, if Manny Pacquiao COMPLETELY blows Thurman out, that's suspect. You could maybe grant Thurman is 80% of himself, but that's still 80% of a prime fighter. There's no way Manny walks through him.

          Yeah I was surprised how Lopez looked like clearly bigger and stronger. I always thought Thurman was pretty decent size for a welterweight.

            Thurman almost lost to Josesito Lopez he was talking about retirement last year

            I honestly don't see him still boxing in 2 years

              yep, long lay off, but the intense training and sparring boxers do would clear the rust imo.

              i thought he was a big welter too.

              lopez looked good, id like him to fight someone else. maybe khan. or kell brook.

                Based on one round?

                SO what you're saying, is that

                Manny beat Floyd because of Round 4
                Manny beat Horn because of Round 9
                Wilder beat Fury because of Round 12

                One round is your fight decider? Really?

                  Based on him being on his bike in survival mode against Lopez and getting MD

                  3 years ago Thurman blasts him out in mid rounds Lopez fights with heart but he is C level at best put him in there against Crawford or even DSG and see what happens to Josesito

                    Hard to tell which Thurman is going to show up. The best version of Thurman might have beaten 40 year old Floyd and might beat 40 year old Manny. The rusty version who fought Lopez, I don't think so.
