    hes the hottest lottery ticket. faded enough to get beat by the very best, but still good enough to make a resume shine...and the payday and exposure doesnt hurt either.

    Bradley is a better counterpuncher than Thurman. He couldnt make him pay either. Pac's defense is underrated.

    Broner is usually gunshy, but nearly everyone Pac fights becomes gunshy. Outside of Horn.

    pac has 1 fight left on his contract and he would want a big money or legacy fight like floyd or someone of that caliber.

    Contrary to popular belief, Thurman is more than a counter puncher. He has all around skills and moves very well in the ring. I think that he is a much better fighter than Bradley and he is a full welter. Broner doesn't have the skills or mindset of Thurman or any of the top five welters.

    Its winnable but dangerous. I give a slight edge to Pac but wouldnt be suprised if Garcia wins.

    It will be 3 years since the Bradley fight when Pac next fights. Thats a long time in boxing.

    pac vs brook in the uk?

    Doesnt make sense with TV companies or anything else but the selfish reason of id like to see manny fighting in the flesh before he retires lol and whilst brook is still a big name hes a step below spence thurman crawford etc and would make a nice clash of styles

    plus seeing khans face after chasing pac and mayweather his whole career would be hilarious

    Danny Garcia will be one of Pac's easiest fights.

    He had some poorly timed punches and AB was too shy to counter for the most part
    Danny G would take advantage and make this a decent fight but I still see the old man winning

    DSG is not easy work for anyone. Although I would expect Pac to win by a 3 or 4 rounds max he will have to be very careful because if he gets clocked by one of those hooks it will be lights out for pac

    Bradley would UD Thurman comfortably. Bradley has the chin to let 1 punch in here and there but way more skills than Thurman, much faster, more flexible with his body movement.

    Thurman moves his feet a lot but looks stiff as hell. He reminds me of an amateur who’s been boxing for a year the way he moves his feet. It’s like running rather than positioning.

    The only thing Thurman has over Bradley is power.

    Doesn’t matter, pacs defense is the same. What’s on decline is his handspeed, footspeed, reaction time and stamina. This guy was throwing 1200+ punches per round and now struggle to get over 600, and looks gassed when trying to unload.

    That said he what he’s declining in, he still has way more than Thurman in abundance - hand, foot speed and he doesn’t need stamina to outbox Thurman.
