    Pacquiao from about a decade ago would send Thurman home crying to his mama and never want step outside the house again. Thurman would have to schedule a doctor's appointment with the ICU before fight night. Because Pac would have hit him so damn hard from all different angles. Pacquiao would damn near break him in half. And crazy thing is, Pacquiao is still a live dog in this fight even at 40 years old and being half Thurman's size.

    Why Thurman running from Spence and Crawford??? Wants to fight a senior citizen half his size. Then he says he needs a break.

    Loser.

    Thurman is a mover, it's possible he would always give Pacquiao trouble. But let's see how these versions fare.

    Pacquiao feasts on movers.

    They're both past it, but Pac has looked better recently

    I'm talking about Pacquiao from around 2009 dip****. The guy who sent Cotto to the hospital bed crying with his dad by his size and Ricky Hatton laying flat on his back middle of the ring fighting for his life.

    Everyone knows FMJ and Marquez are the only legit threats to 2009 Pacquaio. PAC from Marquez v pac 4 would demolish Thurman

    I would add that the prime version of Erik Morales is a threat too since he did beat Pac fair and square if we are being honest. Actually I don't think there is a fighter within the last 30 years who is Pacquiao sized who could beat Pacquiao in his prime. Marquez couldn't do it until Pacquiao was a little worn down and Morales was noticeably bigger than Pacquiao.

    Yeah porter vs prime pac would be fun for the two rounds it last. Mark my words Thurman will be on his bike and lose the decision and retire. You heard it hear first

    These welters today would pretend Pacman didn't exist if it were 2009.

    Not just a decade ago, Pac would break One trick ThurBoy in June. Pac's mental toughness will play over ThurBoy's weak mentality.
