Manny Pacquiao Vs. Keith Thurman VERY CLOSE For 7/20 (!)

Great fight, a couple of years ago I would have favoured Thurman but it's a bit of an unknown now. It's strange that Thurman is the one where we don't know what he has left!

 

no one forgets that. that one of the things that makes Manny a once in a lifetime fighter.

 

True but if Pac beats Thurman, they'll say the same thing about Keith.

 

Yea but Thurman is under 30!

 

Thurman looked suspect against Lopez. Manny is a completely different animal even at 40.

If Manny pulls this off, it could very well be his best win. Beating an undefeated champion in his prime, at the end of his career. But like the others are saying, people will just write off Thurman and say he was overrated.

 

A checked out Broner and a shot Lucas are not the same as a motivated not rusty Thurman, pac still has Jeff Horn problems. Keith will be motivated and sharp for this fight he will give Pac a beating forcing him into retirement. Pac has you people fooled and I hope the books agree and get caught up in this Pac new wave so I can make out like a bandit. Thurman UD

 

Pac cant walk him down like lopez did and is a lot shorter thurman constant running will frustratee him imo

 

Amazing to think that little Manny Pacquiao at 40yrs old is a very live dog in this fight with Keith Thurman.

Dunno who to pick in this one tbh.

Manny's missing a lot of shots against Broner is stuck in my head. Thurman is better mover and quicker than Broner any day of the week.

Also think that Thurman is going to take quite a bit of rust off since his last outing vs Joseito and we're going to see something much sharper...

The problem is that Run Time isn't going to like that missile straight left and is going to hop around like he did with Bundu. What do the judges go with?

Will Thurman land the flashier punches? Pac never gets caught with flush left hooks.

 

This fight will give us an idea just how much Pac really has left. This is definitely a 50/50 fight but I would not be surprised if Pac somehow convincingly beats Thurman to a UD, or maybe even a stoppage. Either way people should not be complaining about this fight. You're witnessing a once in a lifetime ATG legend STILL DARING TO BE GREAT even after his legacy has already been set.

Pac has no reason to keep fighting but the fact that he still has it in him at age 40 to face a prime undefeated fighter like Thurman is a testament to his greatness.

 

And a shopworn Josesito Lopez who gave Thurman problems is not the same as an old legend. Both fighters will be motivated and sharp, I just think Pac's better experience and craft will be enough to give Thurman a surprise. An old ATG isn't going to get beat up in this fight.

 

Yea, there's no point to replying to that guy, no surprise.

 

Bingo
People forget how good Thurman is

 

Thurman had a very long lay off and was rusty that's what you're not considering. If Thurman had still been active he would have dominated Lopez. Pacs fights against 2 shot fighters have people like you fooled. Jeff Horn is the true level of this current Pac.

 

You're a obsessed PBF hater and still lose sleep at night because of 118-110. You will be in for a sobering dose of reality when Thurman beats the **** outta Pac and I'll be right here to rub it in your ****ing face like I always do. You will never learn Pac ain't on them Ariza shakes no more. Thurman isn't Broner or Lucas and is clearly above Horn as well he will beat Pac rather easily
