I checked the stats of Keith Thurman and what surprises me is that aside from his last fight last January 26, 2019 and he won against Josesito Lopez through Majority Decision, his last fight before that was March 04, 2017 and he won via split decision. That means he was away for 1 year, 10 months and 23 days, he may have won on his last fight and yet odds still favor him, compared to Manny who didnt miss a year fighting regardless of the outcome if its win or lose.
Glad you took your time yp check on Thurman previous fight cause some people seems to be blind by Pacman experience, capacity and the statement made by Freddie which is just a hype for the fans and also to boost Pacman moral. Mind you, he predicted Manny fight against Mayweather but his prediction was not correct.

I think the confidence of Thurman let the people think that Thurman has the upper hand, he is the underdog but I don't think the odds should be against Manny Pacquiao. 9 days before the fight, I think there is a chance that it will still change. Considering the fact that he's out for that long, it may be great to rest but in Boxing, that can ruin your career.
Although, the confidence of Thurman has nothing to do with it but if he doesn't believe in himself who else will believe him?
Mind you, some underdog shouldn't be ignore or count as unworthy opponent and I believe you should learn that through Joshua fight against Ruiz.
