    Yeah. He fight some of the live bodies from GB like Thurman. The cold war is over isn't it?

    the fact that pac wants to fight floyd, who is considered the toughest fight for him, excuses pac from being called a cherrypicker.

    ...and pac ko's thurman.

    Thats not good enough man. He needs to get in there and fight some tough opponents. But I do respect Pacquiao as a fighter. He never seemed to run from any challenge unlike Mayweather. That being said, his promoter has allowed him to fight joke fights like Rios. If this Algieri fight happens, its officially a cherry pick and I do not care who was responsible.

    Thurman is so overated in this site and the worst thing is if he loses everyones going to just say he was a bum. Everytime it's why dont they fight thurman, thurman kos him,

    Yeah he might be a bit overrated but personally, I'd rather see Pacquiao-Thurman than Pacquaio-Algieri

    People get really excited about KOs plus he does seem to be pretty skilled. Its the same story with GGG. Both are skilled guys with power and are hyped to ridiculous levels. I don't really mind though, because both have fan friendly styles are good for boxing.

    The same reason as everybody else, because they're nobodies compared to Pacquiao and don't bring anywhere near as much money or prestige.

    He's not getting the same chance to win against Pacquiao compared to Mayweather simply because of the punching power,, but who knows the extent of Pacquiao's decline?? Pacquiao has not been knocking out people since 2009, If I remember it right. Still, I can't convince myself that Pacman will lose... Pacman by under 9.5..

    Pacquiao kicks his ass.

    Khan fought well versus Collazo, but he still has technical flaws a mile long in addition to not being good in terms of ring IQ and ring instincts.

    He should have rematched Prescott instead of fighting Mcloskey. The Brook fight should happen but I do think that Brook should step up and prove himself at world level first (which he is doing soon). Garcia beat Khan well, there is no need for a rematch at the moment (maybe in the future though).

    I think think this is a very good, entertaining fight at 147. Khan looked in good physical shape at 147. He would have a clear size advantage and speed. I would favor Pac in power and ability to hurt Khan, but Pac is not a KO artist at 147. Its a solid fight 55-45 pac based on history.

    Khan looks good against collazo but pacquiao beat #3p4p fighter in his last fight. It's a no brainer
