I still feel like Pac would brutalize Keith Thurman right now

    It would be a good fight. Pac would have to be careful with Thurmans counterpunches.

    Thurman would knock Pacquiao the fugg out. It will be like a Hearns Vs. Duran type knockout. Thurman too fast, too big, too young for old Manny.

    Just lol. What gave you that idea? When PAC dominated Vargas and Bradley?

    Pac would pepper Thurman with hard punches, possibly drop him and dance around him. Porter gave Thurman hell, porter, pac's sparring partner.

    Pac is still levels above everyone else at 147 and below. That includes Spence.

    I cant quite figure out just how much Manny has left. But he isnt shot yet, Floyd had him chasing him round the ring for 12 and he remained competitive and that wasnt that long ago. Thurman is very good but is never guna be a great, his skills are limited.

    I actually think this could be a great fight for the viewers. Thurman may get mobile again after trying to trade early on like he did in his last fight but Manny will close that space down no problem. He will force Thurman to fight and we will get a fight.

    run time actually does ok against straight forward brawlers, porter, garcia, guerero and since pac has not knocked anybody out in some time no danger there. but it will be run time or pac brutalizes him. if not decision run time.

    Porter is much bigger than pac and took some bombs from Thurman. Pac cannot take those kind of bombs. Put aside you man love for pac and wake up to reality

    I don't think so. He might win a decision though.

    I don't see it. Pac is more hesitant to throw combos these days and has gotten a little slower. Thurman is a mover and Pac would most likely struggle with that.

    Why do people have this illusion that Thurman is some big guy? The dude is 5'7" on paper, i guarantee you that size difference is not close to what people think it is.
    Even this Old nonergetic, low output Pac is too damn sharp for anyone else In the division. The only guy that might be able to take him out is Spence, and we'll know a lot more on that after the Brook fight.

    I would pick Pac to win. I thought Thurman lost to Porter and was disappointing in the Garcia fight...............
