    I take it you don’t think Pac has any chance at all in this fight? You have to admit, if Pac does pull it off then it would definitely be another defining win on his resume.

    I think that if Thurman is the Thurman from old Pac will be in trouble. Beating guys like a shot Lucas and a checked out Broner are no where as good as a pre-layoff Thurman. If Thurman isn't the same guy the fight will be close and Pac can win but if he's the old Thurman I expect Thurman to win quite easily.

    Fair enough. I just don't agree with the idea that Pac's only chance of winning is if Thurman becomes his own worst enemy and fails to become the same guy he was 3 years earlier. Stylistically Pac could be a nightmare for Thurman, who is no defense wizard.

    Prime Pac destroys Thurman.

    This Pac beats any version of Thurman.

    Thurman only wins if Pac gets old overnight.

    I don't think Thurman has the fire in his heart for boxing anymore. Sadly, I think if the going gets tough, Thurman will look for a way out. I think Pac will get a tko in the late rounds. I hope I am wrong.

    Pac only loses if he gets old overnight. EVERYONE (boxers and media) who is picking Thurman to win comes down to Pac's age.

    This.

    Maybe Pacman has a good performance left in him. I think he will do it.

    That is a set of Yamaha recording customs, 10, 14 and a 20 inch kick. The snare is also an RC but it’s like 25 years earlier

    Rooting for Pacquiao, think Thurman wins because he's still in his prime.

    I think Pac might win by late KO, maybe round 9 or 10. Thurman is definitely no scrub, but he doesn't throw the number of punches that he used to. I'm not sure his movement and strategic punching will be enough to keep Pac off him.

    After the 5th round, Thurman will look older than Pacquiao - :dancer2:
