Manny took the easiest fight possible in qweef Thurman

It's not Manny who made the fight. It's Haymon. You guys need to stick that into your heads permanently.

I think Haymon was trying to make Spence vs Manny til Manny was like "nah" at their lil post fight face off. Manny is making the call. The biggest problem with Haymon is he DOESN'T make people take a specific fight. People would be doing a lot less PBC complaining if Haymon was on that Don King sh^t.

yep, cause of his layoff and last fight performance they chose the easiest option.

Do you think Keith never returns to form? Or Pac still has it?

I think I'd vote no to both of those questions.

I do think Keith has looked more beatable than Manny has lately doe.

The Charlos, Thurman, Danny, and others already admitted it's Haymon who picks fights for them. This is nothing new. Give me a link where and when Manny said he wants no part of Spence. I can't find any.

Cant expect anything less from the Mayweather hood clan. Manny at 41 still fighting top 1 or 2 arguably in the World and these bytches still out here talking about hes taking the weakest link or easiest path. Never mind at same age, their hero was busy looking for MMA fighters to fight in order to rubbish the sport so as to line his pocket. At least Manny is giving you the fight you wanna see which by the way he has no business taking. Thurman still the most accomplished of the group and what exactly has Spence done since his title win, same for Crawford but you clowns are so quick to rubbish a living legend

Don't know why this is even in question.
Haymon is the ultimate maker of PBC fights.
This guy says it succinctly and emphatically:

It may appear that way but Thurman still has the better resume than Spence and Crawford combined. He already beat D. Garcia and Porter and he has the real WBA welterweight belt so I guess he’s more deserving to get the Pac fight. The winner should fight the winner of Spence vs Porter. Forget about Crawford, he’s stuck with Arum and he doesn’t have any choice but fight in-house fights with Top Rank.

I can't argue that, but Thurman has been on the sidelines for a minute, and then he came back and looked like azz vs. Josesito, and that's why Pacquiao picked him over Spence and Crawford!

Spence is fighting a Thurman's leftover......see how it goes!
Thurman beat also a undefeated Danny Garcia in a unification fight,right after Porter....say Spence and Crawford to do the same, then we'll see who is the weakest link.

Spence is fighting Porter because Thurman has been running from him for nearly 3 years! Porter didn't have to fight Ugas either! We would've never had Spence vs. Garcia, if Porter would've manned up! Danny Garcia turned down Crawford to fight Adrian Granados!

This seems to be the popular opinion now, but before his layoff he was the Welterweight King. Out of everyone for Manny to choose from, Keith still has the best resume at 147, and is still the man to beat in the division.

The layoff was a long time ago, and Thurman was ducking Spence even before the layoff! Thurman does have a better resume, that's true! Thurman has been ducking Spence, and that's also true!
