    Yeah. It really is up to him on whether he wants to brawl or play it smart. He wins either way.

    I've seen enough against Collazo and Bundu. I think Thurman has great potential with good power and solid skills but his style isn't clear yet, maybe even to himself. I don't see him going in to exchange vs Pac.

    I sort of imagine him doing this too. For some reason, I imagine him a little chinny...

    Bob Arum would never make that fight. Thurman would beat up his cash cow and Bob wouldn't reap the benefits :(

    He has never ran, and his style is very clear. He is a boxer/puncher. There is not a fighter alive or dead that didn't have to back up a time or two in their career. It's the nature of the game. It's about winning the war and Thurman does that in good fashion. There will be exchanges but who wins them is anybody's guess. One thing for dam sure. Pac has been knocked out and Thurman hasn't.

    Pacquiao is also an 8 division world champion and 1,000x more experienced.

    Pac was a better fighter than Thurman will ever be Manfred. You are just hating. I like Thurman but he's never looked as impressive as Pac. You say Pac doesn't have enough boxing skills? Lol, this era of "sweet science" hipsters is the worst. And what's worse is that Thurman doesn't even have impressive skills, Pac's more skilled.

    Thurman may have a chance now that Pac is shot.

    The only way Thurman can get the KO is if he roids himself up like marquez did. He can knock down pac but not like the put to sleep KO marquez did.

    Pac isnt shot, he performed poorly against Floyd but everybody with the exception of Maidana the 1st time looks just like that but even maidana looked like the rest on the 2nd fight.

    That fight is a diffrent fight against Garcia or Thurman

    I think any decent boxing fan would LOVE to watch this fight. Wish it would actually happen.
    Pac vs Crawford at 140 is a more likely great fight

    Pac is old and small.


    But even now he could school Thurman. Thurman's overrated as hell.


    Leonard Bumdu just used slight rhythm to keep Thuman off his game and Thumrna couldn't land with massive shots.


    And Bundu has just minor accumiliative power. Pac's footwork even at hsi age is still too good for Thurman.


    If Pac's not done that is. He could end up completely shot to bits over night in his next fight.


    It will probably be Amir Khan tbh. Nobody knows who Thurman is outside of knowledgeable boxing fans but the same could be said about Chris Algieri. No one knew who he was really.


    We'll see.... And Khan can't draw huge numbers, either. He's not that popular. I don't know who's more popular in the states... if it's Khan or Thuman... Probably Khan i dunno.

    I don't think people realize how small Thurman is, he's only 5'7.
