    Floyd fans are just jealous pacs win over thurman is better than.anything on floyds resume.
    Pac having did what no ww in history did, srr, srl Archie Moore couldn't do.

    Pac s win is the best. He is a former flyweight with 70 fights under at 40. Thurman was the most proven out of spence, Crawford. Thurman didn't look great in last fight before pac, but history don't look at that. Thurman was great fight night with pac. Totally different to man who fought lopez

      Interesting, very interesting.

      Moorer was certainly seen as better but you will want to believe what you want to believe, so have at it.
      Thurman himself insisted he was ready. He had his tune up, and insisted he was a true champion for weathering the storm in round seven versus Lopez.

      Like I said. Moorer proved little prior to his fight with George, his win over Evander was razor thin and Holyfield was not 100%. Thurman’s wins over Danny and Porter place him above Moorer in my opinion.

        Hopkin's win over Pavlik is better.

          I’m really not surprised. I knew if Manny won it would trigger Counterfeit-money May’s fan base. Right on cue they tried to claim Thurman was overrated, shot, rusty etc. Floyd sings and they dance.

            Pac's victory over Thurman was very impressive. He looked like the prime Manny Pacquiao. I thought this was his best performance in ten years. I agree he did not look like he was 41 years old. He looked like the 2009 Manny Pacquiao. He brought that mean streak back and I loved it!

              Won and defended belts at 147. That's a little bit more than Danny Garcia.

              I'll give you the opportunity to prove this. So, I'll ask...What didn't Kell Brook do in the Spence fight that he usually does.

                Moorer was a title holder, never ranked the best, or even second best.

                His only big win in his career was a MD against against Holyfield to took too many PEDs and was having some serious side effects.

                  I called it way before the fight was even announced. Pacquiao would choose Thurman because he looked like shit in his comeback fight. Pacquiao beat the 3rd best WW, that was damaged goods from a recent injury. You want to call it some amazing feat, you're a fool.

                    So you don't think dropping down two weight classes and getting knocked for the first time have zero side effects on you?

                      That’s like saying you predicted it was going to rain in Seattle. Of course you would say Thurman was shot prior to the fight, that way you have a built in excuse.
