    Can he ? I feel like he dosent posess the power and he wont sit on his punches long enough and won't trade with pac.
    Maybe he can win a decision. But pac man himself even at 40 is just a genetic beast . Even at half speed he (pac)gives top welters problems. I'm not asking who will win . I just don't think Thurman can stop PAC or even come close to doing that . Pac is a hard man to stop. Let me know your thoughts

    If he lands a flush right early he could, but I don’t see PAC getting hit clean with Thurman’s over telegraphed right hands even at 40.

    I honestly think thurman is not that strong of a puncher as so e people claim it to be plus pacquiao's toughness gets underestimated nowadays. Some people actually thought ****ing matthyse would stop pac

    It is possible but highly unlikely unless Pacquiao gets old overnight and being long term boxing fans, we have all seen that. The likely outcome is Pacquiao winning a unanimous decision and dropping Thurman somewhere along the way. I was always of the opinion that Manny could beat Thurman, I just don't see what Keith brings to the table that would give Manny problems other than youth.

    Pacqauio has never been backed up bad and beat up and stopped

    He has been knocked out cold but has never suffered a beatdown and stopped which shows more dominance

    even at this age I don't think any fighter can stop him he might get caught cold and knocked out but I never see Pac take a beating and get stopped even at 40

    even with the marquez knock out he was close to stopping marquez no one expected that cold knockout
