    However, if Keith Thurman loses, then he is in danger of becoming a gate keeper status. It's because if he can't defeat an aging 40 and half year old shopworn Pac, then he doesn't belong in the championship/title contention status in the first place.

    That is what makes this fight so intriguing. Which Thurman is going to show up? The prime Thurman or the current diminished one?
    This sort of reminds me of when Khan fought Barrera. I am guessing the same result.

      Manny still needs to avenge his loss against Jeff Horn.

        Depends on the type of loss either fighter takes. If is a close competitive loss? Then really no harm, they will get more big fights. If one of them gets totally washed? Then that becomes a problem and could see both taking one more fight before calling it a career.

          Pac is in the twilight of his career. If he loses, but is competitive, then he'll fight a few more times. If he gets blasted out, 1 more fight in his home country and call it a day.

          If Thurman loses a close fight, rematch or fight AB before fighting another belt holder. If he loses decisively, itll only be his 1st loss so he builds himself up again. If he gets KTFO, might be time for him to think about his career choices (he did get hit A LOT vs 'Sito Lopez)...he is a good commentator.

            Barring a rematch clause -

            No matter how badly 1X loses, his career is still alive.
            If Pac gets destroyed, he will go back to fighting guys with low ko %'s or washed up has beens, until he gets beaten up again. Then he will retire.

            If Pac loses a close fight, he obviously keeps on fighting.

            IOW, win/lose, these guys will still have a future.

              depends on the nature of the lose, controversial split decision will almost certainly result in the loser asking for an immediate rematch. KO loss and the loser will probably look for one more cash in fight or retire outright.

              Thurman looks more out the door that Pacquaio which is alarming.
