Last week, one of my favorite boxers, Gennady “GGG” Golovkin warned Pacquiao against Thurman. Golovkin was hinting at the recent upset by Andy Ruiz Jr. (who KOed Anthony Joshua), and warns Manny not to take Thurman lightly. Apart from GGG, a number of boxers and sports analysts have linked the Ruiz vs Joshua fight with Pacquiao vs Thurman. According to them, there are a lot of similarities.
Manny Pacquioao is the underdog in this match and if ever an upset would happen as what analysts expect then it would be Pacman winning as he is the less favored to win the match. One thing that separates Manny from most of the boxers is that when he trains, he do it really hard, i mean 110 percent focus in order to bring fun come fight time.
BTW... anyone interested in a GGG vs Pacquiao fight? Well... it may never happen... just a daydream....
Manny is not a cash cow of boxing anymore so big names now will not do what Dela Hoya, Margarito and Cotto did, drain to lose weight and then lose the fight. Kudos to Bob Arum.
