Comments Thread For: Thurman Reacts To Critics: Every Welterweight Wanted Pacquiao

[Dip_Slide]

Nobody's dis*****g that and nobody's criticizing you for taking the fight. You're probably gonna be an underdog on fight night so don't worry about what people think now.

But if you really wanna know where most of the criticism is coming from, it's from the apparent general reluctance to fight Errol Spence

Thurman is speaking truth! Every WW wanted Pacquiao! Thurman should feel some type of way that Manny selected him, out of the whole bunch! Thurman knows why too! Keith Thurman...You are the weakest link!

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.

Facts. He won't get any credit for the dub. All about the payday.

Or because he's the most proven and #1 welterweight in the world?

Errol only has him self to blame !!!!! He had Legend manny at his fight so he should’ve gave Mikey some rounds or even get hurt or a quick knock down . He decided to show he was going to kill MG not give him a round .considering Mikey is ten years younger same size great IQ in boxing and skills . PAC entered the ring said yeah sure why not but his team said **** no his to big for you . Maybe KT is smarter then them all and had Lopez look like a tough fight purposely looked weak so team pac picked him .

It's not Manny who decided to make this fight. It's Haymon.

Don't know why people keep saying Manny avoided Spence as if Thurman is just some low calibre fighter, or Spence is some guy who can't be beaten.

Everyone wanted to fight Manny, but Manny only wanted to fight the 1 guy he can beat.

Thats basically what it works out to.

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

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

BUT. Spence didn't even fight like he usually does and decided to box MG till later rounds. Team Manny not ****** regardless of how Spence won they know he physically the most dangerous guy at 147.

Haha... that's what I don't get either. If Haymon picked Spence, the anti-Pac brigade would say he avoided Thurman, who is more mobile and more likely to be harder for Pac to chase.

They still don't get that Pac is too ****** to turn down fights which fans deemed dangerous. Pac and his team have been mentioning Spence long before the Mikey/Spence fight.

I was hoping for Spence, but Haymon fcks up everything. He's a huge cancer. Spence is mad as hell.
