With all the injuries and time off, Thurman himself has probably aged like 10 years older than his actual age. They might physically be the same age with all the wear and tear Keith has gotten over the last 3 years. So if I was Keith I wouldn’t be talking too much about that, Pacquiao can give him a good fight not because he still has it in him, but because Thurman hasn’t really advanced in his career and actually I think he’s past it himself at his younger age. I think he knows it too but is just selling the fight.

I agree that Thurman is past his best but I dont think its a huge decline. I watched both their last fights to make my prediction and think Thurman will win. Thurman still has sharp timing, he was landing clean combinations on Lopez. His defense and stamina were lacking though. When he did get stunned, he just backed up in a straight line with his hands low instead of tying up, terrible reaction.
Pac's timing is gone, I watched the broner fight closely and most of his punches were missing or grazing, they were not landing clean. Broner was a good match up for a 40 year old pac because broner just shells up and doesnt throw anything, so of course pac will win on activity alone and anything that landed was a bonus.
If Pac was 6 years younger with his old timing he would school Thurman who has a leaky defense and bad instincts when hurt.

Theres only one guy who is close to his level in spence. He runs through whatever other welterweights you think would be a challenge.
