    Thurman? No. Not even close.

    Fighters w/ better careers that Pac beat: DLH, Morales, and possibly MAB and Mosley. That's it.

    If Crawford does beat Manny he'll have a better career than MAB, Mosley, and debatably Morales.

    If Crawford beats Manny and unifies at WW he'll have a better career than DLH and arguably Floyd.

    Thurman can potentially do great things but it's very unlikely. The guy is worse than Bradley at WW but Thurman never unified at 140. Thurman was hardly champ at 147 as he squeaked by Danny and Porterans avoided Crawford and Spence. Hes never been special no matter how hard PBC tried to push it. Good fighter, sure. Great fighter? Absolutley not.

      Freddie Roach mentioned putting Pac up against Golovkin for IBF 160 title. Derevyachenko fight probably made them think about it. In regards to Crawford, Kavalusikas fight probably made them think about it.



      Pacquiao vs Golovkin
      You can't judge a fighter by his last fight, you judge them by what they are capable of by what they've shown in ring, fighting Ggg is risky. Pac didn't know if the thurman who beat porter, garcia or guerrer o would show up or not?
      Pac is a kamikaze and some say Pac c herry picks? The standards for Pac s higher that was established long ago.

        No, of course not. The only person who would get full credit for going after Manny at this point would be Floyd.

          It didn't say fighters that were more famous or who achieved more in the sport. I said better fighter. Had they fought (obvious weight differences for many of them), Terrence Crawford would have beaten every single opponent that Manny faced apart from Floyd. Tell me which guy I'm wrong about.

            Cotto, bradley, delahoya, mosley, hatton, margarito, clottey and many more will be undefeated if they fought every opponent in crawford resume..

              "No comment" then proceeds to comment. If you cannot answer the question of what makes a real President then say so. Facts do not care about your feelings. The economy was booming under President Trump. Even with all the hoaxs being thrown his way and all the investigations he was still doing a far better job for the economy than any previous President in the past 20 years.

                pac has 20 more fight than floyd and that one really matters in boxing than age so what's your excuse on floyd? pac at 40 was fighting undefeated young prime chmapion while floyd at the age of 38 was fighting the likes of berto, mcgregor and kickboxers..

                all great fighters have losses because they aren't scared to face the best unlike floyd who will go to a temporarr retirement when there is a threat available and and comeback when the threat is clear and will pick the weakest available that he knew he can beat but even with that strategy he should still have some losses but given a gift win (castillo, maidana, pac).
                ali, robinson, leonard, duran etc. are all far greater than fllyd and they all have losses. what was yiur excuse on floyd?

                Those 20 fights that Pac has that are better than Floyd are all garbage fighters from early on in his career where he fought guys with huge losing records. Anyone can pad their record and look good. I have no excuse for Floyd I am not a fan of Floyd. Thurman was hardly a young prime champion. If Pac wanted to fight a young prime champion he would fight Spence not Thurman. Thurman is probably the weakest known fighter of his division. Floyd is getting rich fighting Connor and Kickboxers while pac is still fighting the IRS and having to fight for money.

                I doubt Floyd really cares what you or I think about him. He is rich and he was smart to get out of boxing with no injuries or anything that will trouble him in the long run. I understand they get paid to get punched and entertain us but in the end they are still human beings and I prefer their health over entertainment any day. Pac is good but he also fought some weak champions instead of fighting the best.

                  Thurman had a better career than TC before Pac fight. There's nobody on TC list that matches Danny Garcia and Porter.

                    I never claimed TC was going to lose against Pac. TC has fought not one hall of famer and he's already 30. Not even a trilogy. Nobody to test. So your claim to Pacs fame is all you got. Facts.

                      A real legitimate, qualified President doesn't have our US allies consider our sitting President as a Joke and discuss it in the open.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President doesn't criticize people running legitimate criminal probes, calling them corrupt.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President doesn't call people who cooperate with law enforcement "****" and say flipping should be legal.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President doesn't praise people who have refused to cooperate with law enforcement as having real guts.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President hasn't paid 27M in legal settlements for fraud and charity abuse.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President has had a personal attorney jailed for crimes federal prosecutors confirmed were committed at his direction.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President hasn't delegitimized courts & judges when he loses cases.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President hasn't joked about criminal assault against members of the media.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President was never embroiled along with their children in a class action suit alleging they promoted multilevel scheme in exchange for Millions in secret payments (Judge today allowing suit to move forward)
                      A real legitimate, qualified President has never went outside the order of succession to install an acting attorney general who was not only involved in a massive scam that ruined people's lives, also knew the scam was happening and did nothing to help/assist investigators.
                      A real legitimate, qualified President doesn't criticize his own DOJ & Attorney General for bringing charges against his political allies (both of whom ultimately pled GUILTY)
