    Had May beaten a Thurman who had one fight in 2 years and wasn't that impressive...C'mon now.
    The ''May is garbage picking'' and ''First a green Nelo, now an inactive Thurman'' threads would shut this place down

    Pac fans are the worst

      Freddie Roach suffers form dementia and parkinsons...he says one thing, one minute and another the next minute. He should stop talking period. Floyd has three years out of the ring due to self imposed retirement and in addition to that length of time between fights so he was a fresh 36 years old. Manny is more shop worn and due to his style, he is more liable to lose his prime quicker which is even more impressive what he is doing at 40. Also straight from the horses mouth himself, Floyd said when he takes his fights are all calculated moves...I didn't make that up, he said it and those are the facts. He also said health comes first, he also said i let these guys beat each other and nobody has beaten him yet..those were his words not mines

        The fact that Floyd chose Berto as his last fight against an experienced pro, says a lot.

            Alot of wishy washy argument

            At the end of the day, he didn't fight Thurman who was the mandatory for Floyd's WBA belt. Thurman called him out several times. Didn't give his fellow upcoming brothas a chance. None. He fought old Berto.
            anyone with half a brain knows Floyd would have schooled Keef all night long you really think he could outbox floyd? is faster? does he have better conditioning? is his ring IQ better? maybe he has more power sure but no one has cracked floyds chin

            Floyd would have beat his ass and you know it

              These Pac fans can't live knowing their hero will never beat the man people can't stop talking about.
              Yep. MDS is real thing. Mayweather Derangement Syndrome.

                Every fighters fight is a calculated move. And in a sport where you can get killed you better think about your health 1st. Just because you see manny getting dropped and put to sleep does not mean he likes it. And another thing y’all put floyd on such a high pedestal that you say he was still in his prime at 36 are you serious. Floyd had wars too like the cotto,Augustus and chop chop fights.

                  - -You already wronged yourself.

                  When TUE 50-0 was 40 he fought a 20 yr old Japanese Banty making his debut.

                  What grade you in now?

                    Floyd will get credit for the version he beat, the green, cw version. Pac will get credit for beating the in his prime thurman, who had many wins over very good fighters, at 40, something never done.
                    Be honest historically what is better?
                    Thruman was not in prime and has not been since injury, but even if he was Canelo is the better win. Also are you gonna keep saying cw when Canelo had no problem with weight and has said so then and now??His trainer has said same thing. Canelo was not that green you *******s try making it sound like he had not fought for 7yrs and had already beat some good fighters. May was 36 and giving up 20+ pds vs a guy who will be in HOF, Pac beat Thurman who will have to buy a ticket to get to the hall. You know, none of this matters because they fought each other and it was not close. You cant change history son no matter how many times you try.

                      Try 18 months out not 3yrs and being inactive is not a good thing esp for a fighter that relies on speed and reflexes. You guys will twist and just st8 out lie to try and discredit him. None of this matters they fought and May won and it was not close.
