I believe Thurman can take Pacquiao.

    Pac style is just the style made for Thurman. He loves to engage, which gives Thurman the chance to throw those bombs he loves to throw. If he connects on Pac chin I have no doubt he will KO him. Pac is posing the same threat, but Thurman youth is what gives him the advantage, because he's fresher, hungrier, and have not gone through the wear tear of the sport yet. Also Pac has been avoiding any major hitter since he fought Marquez, and there's very good reason to why he has.

    thurman has youth on his side, he presents the same challenge to Mayweather too.

    When facing Pacquiao, it's unpredictable really. Pacquiao's speed can make thurman look bad. Geurrero is much slower than pacquiao, has less stamina and is stationary. Thurman may struggle with Pac's movement and get out punched. The fight quickly changes when a fighter shows his superior skills early on...

    I think a very interesting fight is Thurman vs Khan, Khan has the weaker chin but he is fighting smarter and is faster.

    Still got pac. It's a dangerous fight for both. Speed and experience would overcome Thurman's age advantage. But it takes one shot to change everything.

    I agree with Khan. Khan speed is as good as Pac and Floyds, which is why if he could give Khan a good fight. I believe he'll give Pac one as well. What separates May from them two, is his defensive style. Floyd will not engage Thurman the way Khan and Pac would, which would make it more of a chess match instead of a slugfest.

    thurman was so open for that right hook counter. guerrero just couldn't time him enough with it. when he did, he just didn't have the power to hurt thurman.

    he ain't getting away with that against pac.

    100% PROMISE you Pac wouldn't engage heavily with Thurman. He would box him and outbox him. It would look like the Rios fight, except Thurman would move a little more.

    I agree on this one, and I would not say Pac is avoiding heavy hitters. Remember Rios was the 1st fight after KO6. He's a lot slower than Pac but still has a good ko percentage and a good chin too.

    LOL. Keith Thurman's mandible would most likely get shattered. We've seen him doing a little jig here and there, he be like a drunk on ***** street with Pac. That honestly might be one of the WORST fights for Thurman right now.

    Keith Thurman is a different generation. It'd not mean anything whether he beats Pac at this point, although I'd imagine he'd lose to a not so close UD. There are many opponents fit for him such as Bradley, Rios, Porter, Brook, Sadam Ali, Maidana etc.

    I seriously doubt he would even fight Thurman. Just because of the punching power.

    It would mean he beat Pac. What are you talking about? Especially if he can KO him. Going into a fight like that Thurman would be the underdog, so the win would still matter.

    You must of forgot about Pac sleeping on the job not to long ago. Jigs and napping are two different things. Let's not also forget Pac has been put to sleep early in his career, while Thurman is still undefeated. This fight wouldn't be a walk in the park for either fighter.

    Are you guys still talking him up? He's a hype-job that should feel lucky to be mentioned in the same sentence as Pacquiao.

    Tough fight. I think it would be 50/50 at this point.
