Stfu and fight Spence

WRONG! To become a legend, you need to do legendary things. One does not simply become a legend because he beat one and go on to have a ***** career.

Too many of these new age young fighters think they can get it easy without putting in the work.

Might not be much to read into, but if theres any "pressure" on one fighter, it all lands on Thurman.

Pac is 40 and has about as much mileage a fighter has ever had while still being semi competitive. Still if he loses most people will brush it off as a sign that manny should finally quit.

Thurman however with a loss, will have his elite level career effectively ended at age 30. If he cant beat an old man pacquiao, nobody will take him serious against crawford, or errol spence. the actual class of the welterweight division.

You’re never gonna be a legend

He could knock Pacquiao out in the first round and that wouldn't make him a legend. Beating Spence and Crawford would be a lot more impressive than beating old ass Manny.

Thurman is corny as **** ...his hairline also starts at the back of his neck.....i hope Pacquiao ko’s this receding corny ass mother****er

Oh boy.. he must have been watching Green vs Jones jr

[True That]

If Pacquiao was in his prime you can say that Keith but not when the man is going to be 4 months and 3 weeks away from 41 years old by the time he fights you.
