    Freddie Roach: "If we don't get Mayweather, Thurman's my 2nd choice."

    Freddie Roach said that if Manny can't get the Mayweather rematch, their 2nd choice would be Thurman. Both Pacquiao and Thurman fought one week apart so they both would get the same amount of time to rest.

    Will this fight happen next?

        Translation.

        Mayweather is easiest, and next easier fight is Thurman.

          Pac would get knocked out by Josesito Lopez, just kidding hope he fights Thurman next would be a good fight.

            Considering the rust has been shaken off for Thurman, i think this is a dangerous fight for pac.

              Far from it, Thurman needs another 2 more tuneups. If he fights Pac-Man next he will be slaughtered. Almost a three year lay off.....

                Thurman said he'd rather fight Pacquiao next over the winner of Porter-Ugas.

                  Freddie Roach has no power over Manny anymore. In Top Rank, Bob Arum always asks him first who he thinks Pac should fight and then pushes the agenda to Pac and eventually convince him to it.

                  Manny and Al now talk between them whomever is next for him. If Al "the adviser mode" says Thurman is a good choice then it's entirely up to Manny if he agrees. It's only then Al "the promoter mode" Haymon confirm it's a go. Freddie is just there to be "Hollywood Roach" hogging all the attention in the entourage, nothing more, Manny doesn't even talk to him after the fight.

                    It’s 22 months. Not even a 2 yr layoff. fury was able to get back on track or near top form after abusing his body, which thurman didn’t.
