    Yeah big respect. He could have pulled a Floyd and asked for Lamont Peterson, or Robert Guerrero.

    I think Manny wins this by decision. He is in great shape for his age and has all that experience. Thurman is a novice compared to Manny.

    Fair enough

    Updated for the purpose of being fair

    Winner of this fight solidifies their position as the #1 welterweight on the planet

    If Manny emerges victorious he'll hold wins at welterweight over

    Thurman
    Oscar
    Cotto
    JMM
    Mosley
    Margarito
    Timachenko x 3
    Clottey
    Lucas
    Broner
    Jessie Vargas

    If One Time emerges victorious he'll hold wins over

    Manny
    Danny Garcia
    Porter
    Collazo
    Guerrero
    Zaveck
    Chaves
    Quintana
    Julio Diaz
    Josesito
    Soto Karass

    No need to include bum Bundu even though he whooped a much better version of him than Spence did

    Spence has wins over

    Brook - damaged goods Brook, mind
    Peterson - career 140 pounder featherfist
    Algieri - career 140 pounder Paulie level featherfist
    Mikey Garcia - blown up 135 pounder who'd come up from 126 and had about as much right being up at 147 as Spence does of being down at 135

    And Algieri was 1-2 in his last 3 fights, Peterson should've been 1-2 in his last 3, and Brook was coming off stoppage loss, a beating, a serious eye injury and gruesome surgery to repair it, back down from 160 after bulking up to fight up there (and everyone knows making 147 was pure torture for Brook prior to bulking up), and a savage headbutt by Spence in round 8 caused Brook's eye to swell up like an onion which had a big impact on both Brook and the fight itself.


    Crawford has wins over

    Horn - whose only claim to fame was winning hometown a gift decision against Manny
    Benavidez - peg-leg cripple

    And don't forget Manny is a blown up 140 pounder who has come up from 106 and his resume below 147 includes such notable scalps as the legendary MAB x 2, Morales x 3, JMM, Hatton, and Sasakul to name but a few and how many times has he fought outside his country and fought opponents in their backyards?

    I think Pac still has enough firepower at this stage to beat Thurman. Good fight.

    You do realize that you're looking at a KID, right? LITERALLY, Pac is a kid of 13-15 years of age in the picture. Moron.

    Spence and Crawford have tons of excuses yet none for Manny and Thurman?
    GTFO! Anyone can play that game.

    You don't have to discredit Crawford and Spence with your BS excuses. It's already clear enough that Manny and Thurman have the far superior resumes.
