Comments Thread For: Ellerbe on Pacquiao-Thurman: I Think They Need To Do Rematch

[The Big Dunn]

So 2 punches sealed the deal for you?

Errol too much for Manny at this point, I don't want to see Manny get hurt, we already had 2 people die in the ring last week.

In terms of winning the fight because those shots produced the kd and allowed manny to “steal” the 10th round, which is the difference in the fight imo.

Manny do not deplete their staff

Yes do a rematch, so thurman is done anyways.but if manny takes Spence what's next for thuis fools?The only rematch manny should grant is to Gayweather.but He ain't got balls, neither he won his first fight against Paquiao.

Before the fight it was, "Manny had a great training camp & looks like the young Manny." Keith made him look 40 from the punches you guys are ignoring & Manny had the advantage in Power & experience.

Dude just shut up I forgot nobody takes you serious around here. Idk why I even responded to you lol

Why did Manny not fight Errol when Errol challenged him in the ring in front of the nation?

Spence's 330k buys as a B side scared Manny away.... fought the most proven Welter instead... if Errol beats Porter in a convincing fashion (unlike Canelo's fights vs decent competition) and PPV numbers look decent, he might give Errol a payday.

Manny is still the #1 cash cow in boxing and calls all the shots and never drops belts or ducks anyone! GOAT!

Negative, margarito was a straight up punching bag his whole career.

Spence will be a punching against pac.

Pac go up in the ring snd he said "why not" but ellerbe don't want to make it happen.

Cut it out, his shoulder was never an issue.

Well documented that it was. Only person that to cut it out is you. Fact that NSAC denied him a painkiller injection for his shoulder and let floyd use Xylocaine for his hands speaks volumes.

Manny is a nearly 41 y/o veteran who only has a few fights left before retiring. I think he should only choose fights that will help him extend his legacy meaning fighters with championship belts. Since Thurman doesn't have a belt anymore, Pacquaio doesn't have anything to gain by fighting him in a rematch.

If Spence beats Porter and is deemed too big and too good for Manny, I would rather see him go down to his natural weight division at 140 lbs in the junior welterweight division and clean up the belts over there.

That way he can be considered a multiple division champion at the same time just like Hank Armstrong used to be. Because he is the WBA super welterweight champion, he is not subject to mandatory fights. Perhaps even Loma might be enticed at some point to go up to 140 (junior welterweight) to challenge Manny.

Boring?!?! WTF? That was a great fight. klitschko was boring.

I agree man lol
I didn't mean that the fight itself was boring. Just that the idea of a rematch is boring. I would much rather see both fighters move on and be matched up with other fighters.

It very well could of been if the media started it...I actually thought Keith edged it out when I saw the fight.

I thought it was close but clear. The two judge cards that had Pacquiao by 3 were right on target IMO.
