    It was NEVER in DOUBT. The boxers of this era are BUMS.

    It will be some years before we see boxers to rival the Pac / Floyd era. Imagine what a prime Pacquiao would have done that cyclist.

    The new generation has plenty of very good and popular fighters. Mayweather and Pac have the worst fandoms in the history of the sport too so... Who cares?

        I didn't say Pacquiao is bad dude... He's literally the best ever. That Thurman fight wasn't one sided either they both gave it their all and made it a war. I just don't like their fandoms and wouldn't wish for a return of that. Although Nelo GGG fans give them a good run for their money. I dunno what to make of fighter popularity and its importance, I don't care about big names unless they're fighting each other really.

          Thurman wasn’t the best in the division I’m still convinced Spence and Crawford would beat manny.

            I said this a long time ago and even posted it on here, the fighters that have largely fought in this decade are not great because they refuse to be great. Thurman is 20 years old and just had his first truly big fight, Wilder was 30+ before he fought Fury and even that was supposed to be a cash grab, Spence is the wrong side of 25 and still yet to unify...I could go on and on and on.

            If a fighter does not fight the best available opposition, then he can not learn at the highest level so when he eventually steps up, he loses. All credit for the bravery of Thurman but he was a punching bag for about 8 rounds.

            There are a handful of fighters out there daring to be great, Crawford (already undisputed in one division and now frozen out of the other belts), AJ and Lomachenko.

            For some reason, at least 2 of these 3 fighters at any given time are hated on by the likes of red prick, motor *****, barryyyy and the others of their ilk (I'll be expecting a message from a mod or a ban for using these names lol).

              Isn't this this guy that makes bad predictions and comes in and acts like a know it all after the fight? It's either him or some other g@y ass soccer fan that does that every time.

                Woah woah hold on there sonny Jim I agree with most of what you're saying there but Thurman's first big fights were against Porter and Garcia back when they were the best at 147. Pacquiao would've completed the set but he's still too good.

                  He's been fighting for 12 years as a pro, it took him a decade to fight someone Porter's level (felt Porter won) and was fighting once a year during that period if I'm not mistaken.

                  Low quality opposition, the odd ok level, low activity....these are all problems and that is what I'm getting at in my post. The fact that Thurman may be considered a guy in the PBC stable who has done more than the others is a poor reflection of the stable itself and their methods of building careers.

                  Most of the true greats were champions by their early to mid 20s and by the age of 30 had a fair share of top level fights - MAB, Morales, Pac, Floyd, Oscar etc etc etc

                    Ah you finally unblocked me....

                    Would you also like me to bring up all those threads I destroyed you in, then you ran to the mods to get me banned on racism or whatever it was, then that mod tried threatening me and I sent him some messages laying down the law and then you blocked me but now are brave enough to unblock me?


                    hahaha we can take this to the other forum section and I can start exposing you again if you like?

                    If not, stay in your lane boy.
