    Thurman once those juices start flowing . Also thurman isn't broner . Thurman knows how to use head movement to avoid punches and he actually let's his hands go . It won't be easy but I definitely favor Thurman

    I'll go with Thurman. He has decent power and fast hands for the weight, and will throw punches unlike Broner. If Broner's movement could make it difficult for Pac to land I expect Thurman's movement to trouble him as well. Also Pacquaio isn't stopping anyone at welterweight anymore.

    Why do you make it seem like KT is some defensive maestro? He isn't. The speed, angles, and power will have KT turn into RunTime. Guarantee it.

    He isn't a super defense master . He doesn't need to be for an old pac man. I'm not saying thurman is god I'm just saying that old pac man dosent have enough left to beat Thurman that's all

    Even being inactive, JL shouldn't have taken KT that deep because JL is shopworn as well and was C+/B- level at his best. He was old (35), flabby, and drained, and yet almost KTFO'd KT. Pacquiao came back from KTFO6 and a year long layoff and schooled a prime Rios 12-0. And Pacquiao was older than KT!!!

    Pacquaio isn’t stopping anyone becauE they come to the fight to survive, exactly not throwing punches.

    If Thurman comes to fight he will get stopped. If he comes to run he will survive.

    Lopez wouldn’t have dropped Mosley, Bradley, cotto or even Algieri 6 times. He has far more power than Lopez. He just can’t show it off because his opponents fight to survive.

    This fight will be so insanely frustrating I get a headache thinking about it. PAC is small with a short reach and not really great at cutting the ring. Thurman has wheels for days, a shaky chin and won't want to engage. PAC will chase Thurman will do backwards laps around the ring at an astonishing rate. Just horrible to think about. Thurman wins a lame decision in a fight he intentionally stunk out. Crowd boos, PAC smiles n says Thurman didn't want to fight. Case closed.
