    I dont have a hero. I guess you're talking about Floyd though. Floyd had/has an iron chin. He got hit with bombs vs several fighters, most notably Mosley and Maidana. He was buckled but didn't fall. The bombs he took would have KO'd a lot of fighters. Thurman has decent power but decent power isn't gonna stop Floyd.

      A Majority decision over a 23 yr old kid he turned blue on the scales with a catchwt and rehydration restriction ain't better than a soon to turn 41 yr old Senator knocking down and busting up a prime p4p welter...Duhhhh...

        It seems too many of you are voting based on how you feel about Floyd. The vote should be based on who was the better opponent.

        We saw where Thurman was the fight before manny. We saw not only where Canelo was the fight before Floyd but also the next couple after.

        Put it this way-Canelo would beat Manny. Thurman wouldn’t beat Floyd.

          What pack of lies is this. I posted wwe don’t know if manny beats cotto at 147 because he didn’t fight him at 147 he fought him at 145.

            Mayweather was up there in age going up against a much younger fighter who had a pretty significant size advantage and completely schooled him. That shyt wasn't even close. Fast forward to today, it still remains Canelo's only loss. Not just a loss. A complete shut out.


            But on the other hand, you have an old man at 41 years old taking out a a legit top welter that is much younger and undefeated fighter supposedly in his prime. Even dropped him.
            damn.....................
            The answer to this wholly depends on where Thurman ends up after his career is done. If he climbs back up and snatches some titles than this is a question worth thinking about. If he beats Spence, Crawford, or Porter again then I think it's a noteworthy win.

            Right now, I don't think this should even be asked. Floyd's win was greater. All we know about Keith is that he hasn't looked the same since he came back and he went right back to surgery after the fight.

            Right now Canelo is way out-shining Thurman, but he was a (tiny) bit drained for that fight against Floyd. Just like Thurman was a bit injured and rusty for the Pac fight. So I'm just going to keep watching and start wondering about these questions later.

              Manny vs 50% Thurman? Please that was as good a win ad manny beating jessie Vargas.

                I'd say Pacquiao because of his advanced age against a power punching, young buck who arguably had the best resume at 147.

                Mayweather's 152 catch-weight, imposed on Canelo, sullied the fight.

                  Pac's destruction of Thurman is the obvious choice.

                    Thurman fought to a SD with one arm.

                    Floyd schooled a 15 lb heavier Canelo.

                    Pacquaio is ducking a 100% healthy two armed Thurman. Thurman probably soaking that arm in some healing salt springs in the Philippines right now. Has Pacquaio shook.

                      Floyd over Canelo and it’s not close.
