Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20

[Malsetid]

Let me fixed it for you. Where Manny fanboys pactards at?  . Either way, Pacman never ceases to amazed us, but we know that Thurman will be next in line. First, this is a winnable fight for me if we are going to base in on Keith's previous performance. Second, this is a test for Manny, if he win this one then I will assume that Floyd will be next or there is a possibility that he will face Floyd in the future.

Manny has fought so many fights already. If there's anyone who needs some testing, it's the younger fighter. Floyd fights whenever he wants to fight. He won't be bothered by the result of the Pacquiao-Thurman fight.

As for the fight, Manny still has the speed and power. Experience will be key.

I think we would see another amazing fight from Pacquiao but I think he is already old there are so many young athlete he should just give way to them.
Yeah experience would be his advantage but could his body go against a younger one?

I think winning is out of the question here. At this point in their careers, both manny and floyd are well accomplished enough that they get to choose opponents. Opponents that they and we know they can beat.  Thurman  is a good fighter but nowhere near manny's caliber even at his age. And i think people should stop salivating over another manny vs floyd because it's very farfetched that it'll happen. They both know they're not the same boxer as before and mayweather is intelligent enough to know one lucky shot could end his unbeaten streak. It's not gonna happen.

Saw this fight advertised during the PBC championship fight last night were williams won the title from hurran.
As soon I saw the tail of the tape on both fighters you could say thurman would be the better choice not based on experience but on age. Pacquiao is 40 years old as I didnt know he was that old and thurman is 31.
Anybody else see this as a mismatch because manny isnt a young chicken anymore and could get beat up pretty bad by this younger fighter.

Pacquiao should be in the retirement mode already and give the stage to younger fighters. There's no reason to fight anymore. What is there for him to prove? That he can still box even at 40? Or is it about the money? He has been living a good life already. But I guess, this fight is still interesting. Let us see how Pac will perform this time?

[Gaff]

This is an interesting fight. But one flaw I see on Keith Thurman, he is wide open when he throw his punches.  

We know already what will happen if Thurman does not know how to defend himself.
Pacmac can still knock out an opponent, he prove that this year, the last fight he wasn't able to knock broner out because that guy is not engaging.

Pacman is a legend in boxing as most of us know how he strategize his opponent, but for so many long time I think the experience he got is an assurance of hitting the wins. However someone expects that Thurman will probably defeat Pacman, because of the seen agressiveness in him. But if he didn't remain calm and chill about his desires, he won't be successful after all on that date of their fight.

[Harlot]

So many young blood calling out Manny Pacquiao everytime they win a fight they always think that they can take out the veteran just because he is old. But if we are speaking out Prime Manny here all of their mouths will be silent about this because they knew they wouldn't stand a chance against him. That is why we witnessed Pacman to move up 7 divisions just to find a match for him since every division he left are no cotenders willing to fight him, that's the only truth and 8 devisions titles speak for itself.

[rodel caling]

Interesting and exciting bouts for pacman for sure manny gonna get win this fight but I can't under stemate the capability of young boxer he have the poewr pounch. Hoping if this fight manny win the next macth is mayweather.

[Dreamchaser21]

He’s not yet leaving the boxing field so technically he can still have more fights to come. Manny is a living legend, but this fight I believe is for the sake of money again. I’m a fan of Manny, but in his previous fights his reputation is not good to me because he slowly becoming like Maywheather, money is the matter.

[bitcoin31]

I believe to this coming fights of manny this july he will win.  They have many fighters who fight manny even those fighters are younger than him. Older is determine dor sure if you are going to win or not it depends to the strategy and strength if you can knock out your enemy inside the boxing ring. I will watch this july and Im proud Filipino and we know that Manny is Filipino too.

[Theb]

I've seen how Keith Thurman fight both on Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia and I can see his similarities with Miguel Cotto and we all know what Pacquiao did to Cotto in their match. With how he isn't comfortable on taking opportunities to land a punch I know that Pacquaio will take advantage of it everytime he shows no confidence around him. Thurman is a talented boxer but I don't think his talent is something he can outmatch Pacquaio with in a match he ain't ready yet.

It's for fame and money bud as you know Manny Pacquiao is a politician and he need tons of money to keep his political ambition afloat. Even me thinks that it is time for him to hang-up his gloves as father time is already catching him. I think he has two fights (including this) left before he retires for good and the last one maybe it's the rematch with Floyd.

[Noilee]

Pacquiao is still strong and we believe its not lose against his opponent even if too old enough compare to Thurman, because of its experiences in boxing. We believe Still Pacquioa will become the champion and the fight was exciting against his opponent this coming July. They both have a good record match and they are a good boxer.

[Shinpako09]

I don't really know what Pacquiao is up to. He has proven himself already and considered as living legend in boxing. Although he still got a power, retiring is a good decision to be made. At that age, many wanted to take Pacquiao on maybe considering he is a hall of famer and beating such guy is a boost in confidence and career. Anyway, I believe Manny still got few fights left before retiring, no matter what the result of his match against Keith.

He would definitely defend his flawless record until he do retires and thats what he want.Its normal for boxers to choose up opponents which
they can really see that they would able to possible beat out.I have no hopes for Pacquiao and Mayweather fight even though lots of people do talk
about it and do made some rumors but both sides doesnt give out any glimpse or does show some interest.They might having a backstage settlement which
do still on private but who know if there would be news that suddenly pops out from nowhere about their fight but lets not hope for now because we have seen that
they are busy on their upcoming fights and some exhibition matches.Talking back on this Thruman fight this dude do really have that kind of brawl style of fighting
which do really leaves lots of opening specially on the body where its easy to target out for manny but those dangerous punches would really have the tendency to
give out KO if it do perfectly landed but this bout will really proves out if Pacquiao would be still dominant even he's already old.

He still wanted to proved that he can go and fight with this young fighters. As far as I can remember, Thurman call his name so Manny just obliges. As far as money he has tons of it already, a good career as a politician as well. Manny wanted to fight Floyd and I'm sure that that is his target fight before he retires.

What does Manny needs to proved? He is already a sure HOF if he retires, fighter of the decade, beat a lot of great champions. Stop chasing Floyd, as Floyd is not interested anymore and would rather look for easy exhibition fights.

It boils down to money matters. Although he has a lot of money, we all know that once he retires, his also fallback plan is politics. Anyways, this will be a entertaining fight and I see Manny getting a decision win.

Manny is back, and this time he will be fighting a young upcoming and dangerous fighters in Keith Thurman.

Where Manny fanboys at? 

I am a Manny Pacquiao fan but i guess that the incomming match is 50/50 since Manny gain another year if his age. But even though, he's experience is still remarkable. This would become a good fight knowing both can win and both have advantages and disadvantages. Another zero crime rate Philippines comming up!.

[Jating]

Dont know why people do say that Thurman is dangerous one.Getting the records of him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Thurman



Still unbeatable with high percentage of knockout.A worthy opponent but experience would be always a great factor.

22 out of 29 win in KO is not dangerous to you?

Here watch some of his high-light win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyj1pcGIDrw

Anyways, I do agree, Pacman edge is his experience and even though people are saying that he is old, his previous fights against Broner tell us that he still has the power.

Thanks for the link and this fella is indeed a good fighter with no loss.As i have seen this is an in fighter which would really be good to see that both in-fighters would clash on.
Heavy hitter vs Heavy hitter then this one is more interesting than on the previous recent fight of Manny.

Correct, he has power that's why a lot of fighters already avoided Keith Thurman prior to his injury.

We all know that Manny doesn't back down on challenges, that's why this fight is very interesting. Manny has the edge in experienced but Keith Thurman is young almost at his prime right now.

Keith Thurman has no loss, this must be a good fight. Its always been a good fight whenever Pacman is on the ring. It doesn't matter if he loss so long as he can provide an entertainment. Keith Thurman may have the power and reach but pacman also has the power and speed. I'd still bet for Pacman though, I'm one of the Pac fanboy

[coin-investor]

This is going to be a big test for Pacquiao if he still at it Thurman is one tough guy the toughest he's going to face after the Mayweather fight, he should prepare for this fight because after this huge mega fight he will be on top again and will attract boxers like Crawford for a mega fight.

Why would he give way if he still dominates? If those younger fighter could not win against an older Manny decisively, then I don't think they deserve that spot.

We've questioned his body and suggested retirement the last time he lost, but he's proven again that he still has it by winning decisively in his next fights.
