I am a proud countrymen of Manny Pacquiao, even though how many times he will have such a Challenger with young boxer and more in line, I will never give up on him being my favorite sports person. For fighters that wanna be challenging a multiple world champion holder, I am amazed. I think they really have the courage to go against Manny, I salute those boys and hopefully they will going home safely.
I'm not a boxing professional and either a sports analyst. But I could clearly check who is the cleanest player from the two.
They also have similar pros and cons. Pacquaio is getting old, Keith is young and ^punchin. Pacquaio is considered as one of the best boxers, Keith is still on its way to prove himself he's good.
But yes, we must not underestimate the power of a young and new guy in the town. Their spirits are so much power that they crave for success. They think that it is the only way to prove themselves so for Keith, good luck to you and congratulations on having an opportunity to fight with this humble guy.
Team Pacquiao does not underestimate opponents which is a good thing for them and you can look on how he prepare and train hard for his upcoming fights to give the maximum entertainment he can give to his followers. Thurman already won for having this fight with the Pacman, this maybe his biggest paycheck if i am correct.They also have similar pros and cons. Pacquaio is getting old, Keith is young and ^punchin.

Right, this could be Thurman's biggest paycheck so far, as we all know that Pacquiao can still bring fans inside the arena so it means more money in the table for the fight.
Of course we all know that Manny trains hard every fight that's why he is one of the best champions we have seen in the decade. Him and Floyd is the two boxers I have seen train hard and dedicated to their craft that's why they are the best in our era.
We can consider the match that PACMAN has a lot of fights that he won and also he is now getting old and which is make him stronger than before. I don't know the whole story of Keith Thurman about on his boxing career but one thing that I can sure he is younger than Manny Pacquiao. As of now, we don't have clear analysis regarding the two of them. So, let's just wait on their match.

It is on July 20 already?! TBH I didn't see that coming 
. (Maybe I'm a little bit too busy to watch TV news nowadays). Anyways, I will definitely watch his fight once again. I'm never getting tired of watching Pacman inside the ring because he was able to maintain aggressiveness despite of his age. Imagine, a middle aged adult can still beat down those more fit and younger men 
. If he reached the same aged when Roberto Duran retired in boxing but still fighting then that's the time for us to call him a Legend not only for the ritles he got but also for his passion on the sport he belongs.

I just have to post this the moment the news out but became again another victim of the forum captchas unusual behaviour lol.
Hmm, I'm always wondering why some of you struggle in solving captchas. Is there really an unusual behavior? I can't relate because I haven't experience it so far. 
I just have to post this the moment the news out but became again another victim of the forum captchas unusual behaviour lol.
Honestly Keith Thurman was a great pick and I remember mentioning this as one of the worthy oppoenent on the other MP's thread. It's way better to choose boxers from peak rather than those who is near retirement or just a random ones.
Forget Mayweather as it will take 5 years in the making. Forget Spence, as it's not even a priority. Forget Crawford "fow now", as lots of things needed to be done first.
Team Pacquiao did well in choosing the right opponent. Business+Intense+Action at the same time.
concerned about on how to show up some good and real entertaining fight rather than seeing some mismatch or some boring fights.
People do always like to see some action pack.

I am not that familiar with Keith Thurman, so I just checked his record and some of the videos of his previous fights. Interestingly, the last time he won through a KO was almost 6 years ago (against Jesús Soto Karass of Mexico). Also, I watched his last match (against Josesito López) in YouTube. Have to say that I am not very impressed with his skills. It' going to be pretty easy for Pacman.
As far as I know he was coming from a long lay-off and that fight against Josesito Lopez is a comeback fight and obviously you will see some ring rust and Lopez was a tough fighter and give everything.
That is why there is a big chance that Manny can win if Thurman will show himself or fight the way he did against Lopez so yeah, it could be some fun and easy fight for Manny.
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.
Nice stats for Thurman and this is like a decider's match for him. Will he retain the no lose position? or will Manny put stain to his record?Still unbeatable with high percentage of knockout.A worthy opponent but experience would be always a great factor.

I'm not into both side but they are all different fighters and has different styles. Experience wise, Manny got this but I don't think it would be that easy, we will see on how this fight will create another history for both fighters on July.

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.
Crawford or Errol Spence would be great if he will win against Thurman. But the biggest stumbling block is of course their managers. I'm sure he will prepare for this fight, election in the Philippines is completed and now he can focus for the next 8-12 weeks and train hard again under Freddie Roach and Justin Fortune, and of course Buboy Fernandez.
Thurman looks rusty against Josesito Lopez so I'm expecting a better showing this time against Manny so this is one explosive fight.
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.

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.
Yeah experience would be his advantage but could his body go against a younger one?
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.

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.
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

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!.
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 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.

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.
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.
