I hope the fight happens. He knows he isn't ready for Porter, Garcia, Crawford, or Spence if he struggled with a gatekeeper. A 40 yr old Pac vs Thurman would be a 50-50 fight in my opinion.
Struggled? Lopez won 2 rounds. Keith landed 48% of his power punches, 10% higher than the WW average. He struggled in the 7th and THAT'S IT! He
I highly doubt Pacqiuao will take a fight with Thurman. Both Roach and Manny understand that Thurman is very dangerous for Manny at this stage of his career. People on this site are getting hysterical because Thurman got clipped and hurt by Josesito Lopez. As usual everyone starts overlooking the skills and strengths of the guy who was expected to win "easily".
I just hope getting hurt in the 7th round doesn't translate to taking a string of easy fights for Thurman. The welterweight division is fooking stagnating. All the top guys seem to be avoiding each other STILL.

Haven't you heard? Roach second choice is Thurman if Floyd doesn't show up.
Freddie Roach: "If we don't get Mayweather, Thurman's my 2nd choice."
If Manny takes that fight then he deserves a lot of credit whether he wins or loses. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised if he does take that fight because Pacquiao has always been a great warrior. I just expected at this stage of his career he would want to take it a bit easier.

Listen to these dude. They speak the truth. Thurman once tastes Pac's straight left. He's on his way to losing.
If he thinks Pac is a tuneup fight, he’s in for a rude awakening. If Lopez’s right straight gave him problems, Pac’s Left straight would give him more problems.
But what happens when he hits Pacquiao back with his right hand. Pacquiao hasn't fought a guy on this level since Bradley and that was 3 years ago. He is not the same guy from then even
