    Thurman for the most part won the exchanges when Pac was tired later in the fight. That was it.

    I think the result had more to do with matchmaking rather than Thurman being a legit opponent. Imo Thurman is past it and was the weakest of the champs at 147.

    Pac wont have the same success against crawford or Spence. I wouldnt even take him over Porter. In his prime sure, but hes not the same fighter anymore.

        He won clearly and easily but outclass? Maybe that's too big of a word. I felt he won 8 rounds for sure though.

        I remember McDonalds (the ****ty poster not the ****ty fast food chain) said Thurman was better than Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Benitez, so you'd have to say, he's impressed with the 40+ year old Pacquaio.

          Before it was “Thurman’s too big too strong too young”

          Now it’s “Thurman isn’t good”

          Lmao how the narrative changes every time your predictions aren’t correct.

          Manny demolishes Porter inside 6. TKO’s Spence in 10.

          Go re watch the fight like I just did.

          Completely outclassed Keith.
          Thurman won like 2 rounds for sure, that about it! And Pac basically gave him those rounds so it doesn’t even count for anything. Any time Pac started letting his hands go Keith started backing up and sweating it. For Christ sakes he was bleeding out of his nose by the 4th damn round.

            Thurman won rounds 7 & 9.
            8 and 11 could’ve gone either way.
            Either way, Thurman had maybe a MAX of 4 rounds won.
            Pac straight schooled him.
            Just winning was amazing doing what noone in history did. It don't matter if PAC was given gift decision which he obviously wasn't.
            But just saying it is a amazing win to add to an amazing resume and career. Old school career

                    I've never personally said Thurman was too big. Not once. So I have no idea what you're talking about. The outcome of the fight was always gonna be determined by which Thurman showed up.

                    Pac has the ability to always keep these fights competitive but where hes gonna suffer is his gas tank. When manny was hitting the gas he was winning. When he was mouth breathing he was losing.

                    In Spence and Crawford hes gonna have to deal with two long technical fighters who have the stamina to **** with him.

                    Prime Pac? Always a chance but Pac jsnt that fighter anymore. Could he pull an upset? Sure. But I highly doubt by KO. Let's be honest. Pac hasn't KOed anyone relevant in a long time and all the top guys have pretty solid chins and defense

                      lmao!!

                      I guess Keith doesn’t have control of which one of him shows up!!

                      Lmao your excuses are worse than your name!

                      That was KEITH ONE F’N TIME THURMAN. UNDEFEATED WW WHO BEAT BOTH PORTER AND SWIFT. He was nobody else that night, same F’N GUY.

                      Oh did 30 year old Pac show up that night? Instead of 40 year old pac? I guess people have the ability to time travel these days. Lmao you newbies know nothing.
