    I just don’t understand what your problem is with Pac still daring to be great. Isn’t that what ATGs do? Why does it matter what his reason is for fighting onwards? Give the man some respect for actually having the guts to fight a highly rated fighter at his age instead of hoping he loses badly. The guy is a living legend, win or lose.

    I have to say you're right. Nobody would box if they weren't getting paid so that's like saying a framer isn't that good or skilled because he wants compensation for his work.

    Rather he is fighting for money or not is not the point. Give the man his dues already and stop hating. The man is already a legend in the sport that we all love, and then we get spoil with this matchup? Who does this shiet, especially at the end of one's career. We will never see another fighter who started at 112, and now at the end of his career is in with a real live dog at 147. Win or lose, Pac will go down as a true legend and a warrior with balls of steel.

    Fight invalid. Floyd caught with. Severe amount of IV was preventing Pac from using pain killers.

    The guy is a Racist. If Pac was black he would be deepthroating him right about now.

    Strange that although my mind says Thurman on points, I just can't shake off the feeling that Keith, once he tastes that left, and believe me Pac will connect early and hard, would be on his bike for the remainder of the fight.
    And really, unless he is FMJ, I don't see any other fighter winning over Pac whilst running backwards all the time.

    Pac is going to eat a hard counter on his way in at some point in the fight and he is going to get stopped by One Time.

    Somehow Thurman has diminished. I am not sure why. He didn't have the motivation like greats do of moving up and taking on challenges. He choose to sort of sit and wait like Danny Garcia did, and those fighters don't improve. He diminished, and I think Manny who is as sharp as a 40 year old great can be can win this.

    He deserves any payday he gets. This guy fights everyone no matter what. He is not like Floyd who handpicked his way .

    Pacquiao is too old to beat these young lions.

    This , I really wished that he would have retired no one that’s a true boxing fan wants him to go out on a KO, Legends die hard.

    Everyone hand picks.
    They both fought De La Hoya, Marquez, Cotto, Mosley and Hatton.
    And the both took low risk fights as well.
