Comments Thread For: Thurman: I'd Like To Get The Knockout or TKO Pacquiao

[TheFrog]

Pac had always been there to be KO'd. He fights weird and can get caught because of it. That being said is Thurman really the guy to do it? The most well known guy that Thurman has stopped is probably Diego Chaves. He hasn't stopped anyone whatsoever in over 5 years. I think Thurman is "meh" but I stand to be corrected

"pac had always been there to be ko'd".. "but thurman wont be able to do it"... lol!!! if pac is there to be ko'd then thurman can do it! yall just saying this until someone actually does ko manny then yall can say "we told you so".. yall banking on a ko in every manny fight until it actually happens.. that doesnt mean he's there to be ko then.

yall gonna be disappointed come july 21st lol.. yall said pacman aint ko anyone in years so he's not gonna ko anyone now all of a sudden... well, the same fvvvcking shhiiet can be said about thurman! who the fook has thuman put a beating on lately??

and mofos like to bring up the horn fight.. did yall see wtf pac did to horn's face??!! crawford stopped horn but horn was nowhere in the same condition he was against manny! so if thurman said that pac didnt do shiiet to horn then crawford also didnt do shiiet! thurman is gonna find out real fast that there's levels to this!

Agreed. Any normal ref would have stopped the Horn/Pac fight in the 9th while VS Crawford, Horn could have easily finished the fight on his feet. He was pissed when the ref stopped that fight in the 10th probably because he took a much more brutal beating from Manny and didn't get stopped!

Its basically his career on the line so if he has those real qualities we should see them in this Manny will make him earn it, Thurman can box very smart and has size and although no real KO power he has hurt some tough opponents and there is a ? over whether Manny can take that from a full WW at this stage of the game .

Its all on the line from both guys, its big slide for the loser.

thurman really talking up a big game. would be a real shame if he didn't deliver or worse got beat up b ya 40 year old way past prime faded pacquiao.

I agree for sure. Manny by decision is the direction that I'm leaning but it's always possible that he gets caught. If you look up still pics of Pac when he's hitting pads you'll notice that he throws one hand and drops the other one almost without fail. Particularly when he throws the left. His right hand is almost guaranteed to drop.

Only because of Keiths surgery long layoff and a suspect comeback fight.

Dont go all macho it was a selective calculated fight, Thurman wants name and Manny selected the perceived easiest WW champ to go for.

If Manny wanted to really go for it he would have fought Spence an inform current elite fighter, they called him out and bailed when he said lets go, then they chose Thurman.

Its 50/50 only because of the ? with Keith.

This one right here is a true retar.d...how does a 41 year way past his prime cherry pick arguably one of the best 2 welterweight in the world..u people are truly delusional..Keith got his rust off, has every conceivable advantage over Pac and Pac still made the fight when he could simply have made a lesser fght and be well justified to do so ...but no no not good enough, you want him to walk right to Spence which am sure Pac will likely do if he were to win the fight..appreciate the Legend while still here. Most of you are that other guys fanboys who by the way at same age was busy trying to find MMA fighters to hoodwink the boxing word with just to line his pocket.

Keith gettin destroyed if he think youth is the only reason he's going to win. He would lose to Broner Mosley Clottey Hatton Cotto matthysse Algeiri easily.

Pac did some great things 10 years ago. I get it. But not at 147.

And...10 years ago.

Pac

Pac has one of the greatest resume in the ww division.

Pac

Pac has one of the greatest resume in the ww division.

At 147 pounds he's done exactly nothing outside of drain down a past-prime DLH. Eleven years ago.

Otherwise: catchweights and meh opposition.

Has Pac beat a Danny Garcia or Porter at WW like Thurman has?

Nope.
