Comments Thread For: Thurman: This Feels Like I'm Fighting Sugar Ray Robinson, Duran

[Cigar]

It's not like Keith is that much younger than Manny. He just got lucky enough to cash that PBC lottery ticket, which means you get rich without ever having to prove yourself.

First, 10 years is a lifetime in boxing. At 30 , Thurman is in his prime and at 40 Pac's best days are behind him.
Second, before Thurman was hurt, he was undefeated and held the WBA, and WBC titles. Also he had just defeated the two top contenders, Porter and Garcia, back to back. How is that not proving himself?

Neither Duran nor Robinson were juiced up to the gills moving up in weight and dominating and physically hurting bigger men ...

You know that’s just your opinion and you’re purely speculating. Never once was Pacquiao caught on any substance so it’s not really a good idea to be blurting out lies. Just saying.

First, Keith is on the wrong side of 30. This is not his prime. Fighters are their physical peak in their late 20's. Second, I was at the Porter fight. Could have gone either way. The less said about the Garcia fight the better. It was a bore fest and neither guy proved anything. Third, the PBC is completely incestuous. We really have no idea how good these guys are because they just keep fighting each other. The only one of the PBC welters who looks to be special is Spence...and Keith had refused to fight him for years! "Your time is coming, Youngblood." Remember that stupid line from Thurman?? He's never fighting Spence. This Pac fight is a cash out for Keith. He'll probably fight again, but at the ridiculously slow pace he's been fighting recently and he won't take on a real, in his prime challenge like Spence.

Blah blah blah y'all stop talking about age. That's Keith's edge? One is 30 the othr is 40. Not a big fkng difference. Get ready to see Pac at another day at the office beatin Keith's green azz convincingly and easier than most ppl think.

How do you know that? Neither Duran nor Robinson was tested during their time and steroids abuse by athletes started in the 1950's so we don't know if Duran used them.

Pacquaio has been taking tests given by USADA and VADA for nearly a decade now and has always tested negative. He even voluntarily signed up for the VADA 24/7 365 day random testing program just to prove he is clean.

In fact I can name a few notable Mexican fighters who have moved up in weight who have tested positive for banned substances during that same timeframe:

Canelo Alvarez
Erik Morales
Orlando Salido
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
Ray Beltran

Spence hasn't fought anyone. He looks special vs nobodies. Let me know when he fights someone coming to win.

Pacman is the first hall of famer for Thurman. Porter and Garcia is not yet there.
