    I think Manny hasn't fought many guys with real one punch knockout power. Marquez hits hard but i don't think on Thurman's level.


    I think Thurman has a good chance of winning more so than conventional mover boxers.

    not sure yet. mannys chin was good tonight he ran into some "marquez" shots and did not seem one bit phased. thurman needs to fight an elite level fighter before i can say if he beats pac.

    It's possible. Thurman certainly has the power to KO him, but I think he's a little too inexperienced right now.

    im not too confident in thurmans chin, hes looked a bit vulnerable at times. i dont think he can take what he dishes out... and pac WILL serve it up.

    He's dangerous but, no. He's not operating on the level Manny is. But of course one punch changes everything. Chances are a slew of PAC's punches will change everything for Kieth before he has the shot in the dark that would put Manny's lights out.

    Keith isn't a runner....He'll be there for PAC to bust up.

    Yes, one flush counter to the chin and he'd sleep.

    The same could be said if Thurman landed one time on Floyd's chin. Keith is dangerous but not on level with either of these men.
