He took a tune up, duh And Manny picked Keith (AFTER Errol called out Manny to his face) cuz he saw Lopez hurt him
Dude, I didn’t even mention Lopez right? I knew he was a tune up fight to shake off his ring rust. Duh my a.ss
He had his choice to take on Porter next and Porter would have straight out take the challenge. Tell me who did Thurman call out right after his match with Lopez?

Exactly
He didn't call him out. He did though call out T.B.E. He was asked if he would fight Manny & he said yes & it didn't matter where.
How many rounds u had Thurman winning. I aint say all that^^ i said Manny aint dominate this fight cuz it cuda been a draw if Manny didnt score that knockdown.
Looking defeated aint a scoring criteria.
If you are slumped over from a body shot then that obviously is a scoring shot that was more significant than anything Thurman did that round. I'm not into scoring 10-8 without a knockdown or anything like that but if one guy is showing obvious signs of being hurt by punches while being outworked then he definitely loses that round. This fight wasn't even close to a draw. Thurman got smoked. He ain't on Manny's level and it was blatantly obvious.

Cut it out. Keith landed more punches & won more rounds. Manny did land 2 harder shots than Keith did though, just 2..
Keith won 3 rounds tops. He couldn't hurt Pac. He couldn't keep him off. Manny was the alpha in the ring. Thurman had a few good flurries in the fight but wasn't consistent at all and couldn't command ring generalship. Manny was the dominant alpha that dictated the pace. No doubt Thurman thought it would be him, given all his prefight bravado. He was quickly humbled and domesticated immediately by the superior fighter. Did you see Thurman's disfigured face after the fight? He took a real beating, wilting body language late in the fight shows he couldn't hold his poker face and visibly showed how hurt he was. Spitting out your mouth piece is a beta move btw.

I don't "want" a Thurman rematch. I don't give a ****. Point is Thurman deserves a rematch with Pac more than Manny deserves a rematch with Floyd. If Pac is going demand a second fight from the fighter that schooled him, then he shouldn't deny an immediate rematch to Thurman, the guy who just gave him a close fight.
Floyd-Pacman is the obvious next fight. Lets not act like Thurman is a big name like Pacman that has the resume to command a rematch. He has Porter and Garcia as his best wins. Pacman has a laundry list of names on his resume including Thurman. Thurman hasn't earned the clout in the boxing game to have an immediate rematch. He has to earn it to get back into that conversation the way Manny has earned it by beating him. Floyd and Manny have the best resumes, and manny is still mixing it up with top level talent and winning. Thats a big fight again that will deliver huge paydays for them both again and there is demand for it now. There is no demand to see Manny easily beat Thurman again like he just did. Floyd won that first fight but that was before McGregor uppercutted him so hard that he ran off to go fight bantamweights in Japan. Floyd's shot and he ain't gonna be able to school Pacman like he did the first time. Floyd damn sure ain't fighting Spence so the most competition we can expect from him is a Pacman fight. I don't even think he beats this Manny anymore. Manny is the hungrier fighter right now. Floyd showed weakness in his training habits in his previous fights. He ain't the hungrier fighter now, Pacman gobbles him up in a rematch

Dude, it was a close fight & very entertaining. Floyd is not coming back & there isn't anywhere for Manny to go. He really has only a few options. (1) Rematch Keith (2) Fight DSG (3) Retire. We know he's not going to fight Errol or Bud either.
