Comments Thread For: High Hopes For Pacquiao Against Keith Thurman and Beyond

[NachoMan]

Mr. Rosenthal is expressing a certain ( big in fact) number of hopes regarding Pacquiao... Among them:

"I hope Pacquiao performs more like Bernard Hopkins than Roy Jones Jr. at this stage of their careers."

... with Pacquiao having practically nothing in common with those two, except for the old age...

Well, maybe you took his words a bit too literally? I doubt that he meant to move, jab or slip punches like those guys. I understood him to simply mean perform poorly or incredibly well as an older fighter.

How come Floyd stunk up the joint because Manny couldnt do anything about it,,,,,,,,,,think about that.

Wasnt Manny going to knock him out, the perception of losers always amazes me . here is a quote from, a loser,,,,,

I would have hit him if he stood still ! guess who said that lol

Floyd schooled Manny by the fact of totally shutting him down to a peep, nobody else shut Manny down like that and nobody else schooled JMM and Canelo like Floyd did.

Floyd is the best fighter of his era, hands down the best and one of the greatest defensive fighters in history.

Floyd wins coz Pac didnt KO him coz some casual fans thinks he is supposed to KO May.
Runweather hides behind his paid commission.

Don't hope too much. I think even a Pacquiao that loses gives hell to his opponent if they truly try to take the fight to him. Thurman either outboxes Pacquiao comfortably, or risks getting dropped or out punched if he decides to engage. I think even a 40yr Pacquiao's punch activity is higher than Thurman. Thurman likes to get comfortable and when he does, he doesn't let his hands go in an overwhelming fashion. He's measured. Pacquiao at this stage is also measured, but with that said, I think still a bit more active than Thurman. We'll see.

IMHO I disagree. Watch it again in slow motion and PAC was hitting Floyd however he has the name recognition so he won by default. Floyd won by back pedaling and tapping PAC softly.....WEAK!!!!!!!

PAC wants Floyd again and we both know PAC is going to knock his head off if it happens. He doesn't want anything to do with a 40 year old PAC...I'll give Floyd the best defensive but PAC is the only 8 time world champ and 5 time lineal champion in 5 different weight divisions.

On the other hand, when PAC beats Thurman all the naysayers will say, "Oh, Keith was not a true champion." WTH!!!!

PAC vs. Mayweather II

I hope some day you will acknowledge and write that Brandon Rios was a bum so was Broner so was Mathysse so was David Diaz so was Horn.

I hope that you値l write Cotto and Margarito were cheated st the scale by PAC.

I hope you値l write that PAC fought Hatton, Oscar and Mosley right after they were all beaten up by Floyd.

I hope that you値l write that the only WW of note PAC fought in the last 10 years was Bradley who beat him anyway in the first time and of course Floyd who beat him too.

I hope that you値l write Floyd was older than PAC when he beat him.

I hope you値l write that Marquez beat PAC 4 times. The 4th fight was a scam spectacular KO which also included a knockdown in the third round that all PAC fans seem to have amnesia about.
