    It's an incredible victory for either one. Regardless of Pac's age, it's still Pac and it would be Thurman's best win as it's a win over an ATG. An ATG that hasn't lost since losing to his arch nemesis ( Pac's loss to Horn can be ignored because he definitely won), and for Pac, it would be his best win since beating Cotto a decade earlier(yes beating Thurman would be better than the win over Bradley and the win that should've been a loss versus Marquez).

    It also assures they'll likely be in a round robin for WW supremacy against Spence or Crawford. There's no need to try to minimize the ramifications of these fight on either side.

    Literally every single boxer/media person has picked Thurman due to Manny's age. Not one has said that Thurman's the better fighter. Many have commented that tomorrow night may be the night Manny got old overnight. Can't ignore the age, man. How impressive would a 30 year old Pacquiao beating a 40 year old Thurman be? Not very.

    I'm a Thurman fan and I don't believe he'd beat 2009 Manny either. Point being, it ain't 2009 it's 2019 and Manny is still fighting and it's still an enormous win for anyone who beats him. Stop being purposely obtuse.
