    After Thurman, I'll never doubt it if he says he can do it.

    Wish he would take on the good-skill low-power types in the rank 10-25 guys at 147, but it's not like he owes us anything.

    I've carried out extensive scientific research of cranium thickness and in particular fighters who have abnormally thick craniums and my research has shown that fighters who possess abnormally thick ones have a much longer shelf life than those who have been cursed by the boxing gods with merely average or thinner ones and they are a lot less susceptible to the cumulative effect of a career of brain abuse regardless if they've been in a billion wars.

    Case in point

    Jake LaMotta was still lucid and coherent when in his 90s

    Same goes for Marvelous Marvin, JCC Sr. and Oliver McCall among others

    Now I don't think Manny does have an abnormally thick cranium because he's been sparked out cold on his face for an aeon by a featherfist, but he does possess perhaps the largest head of any human being in history and surely that must have something to do with his longevity

    Porter fought Thurman after over a year long layoff.

    Danny fought Thurman after almost a year off.

    Pacquiao fought Thurman just 6 months after Thurman's last fight. So Pacquiao actually fought a fresher and active and the most motivated version of Thurman.

    I’ve always thought this but never put any research in it, I think Holyfield would be fine today if he retired at the right time, even now he sounds great for someone who’s been boxing basically his whole life

    i mean in terms of his demise.
    of course pacman is a much better fighter than gatti ever was.

    i'd just hate to see pac start showing the effects of getting hit in the head too many times, which is going to happen more and more often the older he gets.

    Thurman's last fight 6 months before pac that you speak of was a fight that was a tune-up after a near 2 year layoff and he looked like crap. That is fact

    Thurman got caught in one round. Otherwise, he schooled Lopez. Oh, Thurman was almost knocked out by Lopez? Well, he was almost knocked out by Collazo right before fighting Porter.

    I bring facts. You bring hate against the Senator, Richmond, VA Pete.

    :deal:

    Dude he fought one time in 2.5 years. I said he was inactive. You said I was wrong. I consider 1 fight in 2.5 years inactive. What is there to argue about here.

    PAC needs to keep fighting. He’s always in great shape and looked great against Thurman. He’s a true warrior and will know when to hang it up. I wish he would drop down to 140 and fight Mikey Garcia. Spence and Crawford might be too much at this stage but young Pac clowns both of these guys.

    So, this is why you are trying to promote Inoue now to replace Pacquiao your man in this forum, isn't it? :p:p
