Is Thurman past prime already?

[bigtyivier2k2]

I feel like the 2 year layoff killed his prime. He seemed to be a better fighter and more explosive 3-4 years ago

He's currently in his prime. He looked very good against Manny, and was in great shape, and didn't fade, at all. WTF are you talking about?

No, he was just dumb and desperate for a big money fight. After how he looked like vs Lopez, he thought he didn’t need anymore fights before Pacquiao because Pac is old. He was wrong. Old man schooled him. Shoulda take a couple more fights to remove his rust and ease back into the ring from his injury.

I don't think he's past his physical prime. I would say he's peaked, which isn't the same as being past prime.

As true as this might be, the Pac fight is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Manny could retire any day now. There was no time to take anymore tune up fights.

yes way past his prime..and pac is in his prime

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Not at all...

[Phenom]

He barely survived 35 years old Josesito Lopez and he was on his bike most of that fight

There is a reason why Pacquiao was the betting favorite in the fight

I honestly won't be surprised if Thurman never fights again

Can't wait to see who his net fight is.
Should just go fight Garcia again.

[CHOWWOKKA]

He is either not in his prime or he is in his prime and just isnt very good.

Anyone who barely beats jososito Lopez isnt very good.
