Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman hopeful Brock Jarvis could lead to Tim Tszyu

[Oregonian]

Spence and Thurman were hard hitting, natural welterweights who could take his punch and hit him back. Floyd wasn't risking his chin or his 0 against those guys. At welterweight it was lightweights who moved up like Marquez. They steered him clear from natural welterweights

The same Marquez that vaporized your idol with one single punch? That Marquez? How is that possible? He was too small for Floyd but big enough to KO a guy Floyd couldn’t KO? Incredible stuff here.

This post is about Thurman.

Yeah it is and Floyd ducking him when he earned a shot is a legit discussion

So how do you explain PAC fighting Broner who was coming off two losses and a draw? Or Brandon Rios who had just lost to Alvarado and got dragged to 147 to challenge the “great” PAC? Or Jesse Vargas? Or Mathysse? Or weight draining Oscar to 147 after Oscar had lost to Floyd? Or fighting Margarito who had been KO’d by Mosley at a dubious catchweight of 150 for a vacant 154 Ibs title? Or Hatton who had just got beat by Floyd?

Why didn’t your idol go after Floyd from 2004-2009? Those are 6 years he could have fought Floyd but he waits for Floyd to get old to fight him.

So how do you explain PAC

First explain why Floyd couldn't find time to fight Thurman.

I mean Thurman only held 2 of the major belts and was calling him out every chance he got.

I mean, you Floyd Boys love to point out Floyd always fights guys coming off big wins. Thurman was beating the best guys in Garcia and Porter.

I mean, he was able to squeeze in Guerrero Ortiz and Madonna 2x

So AFTER I explain why Floyd didn’t fight Thurman is when you’ll explain to me a dozen mismatches, catchweights, and clear outright ducks on PAC?

See, unlike you, I am not blinded like you. Floyd should have fought Thurman and Garcia before they fought each other. He should have but he didn’t and he should be called out on it. There is nothing to defend.

I expect you to defend your idol but I’ll give you the benefit of doubt.

Well Manny Pacquiao, he fought Thurman I give him full credit Thurman was undefeated, a natural welterweight, in his prime. What more is there

I was specific about the mismatches and over the hill guys he fought AND like I said, I would not be surprised if you defended him.
Once again, I can acknowledge that the Thurman win was one of the ages AND PAC gets all the credit and accolades that came with it.

So, once again, Broner coming off two losses and a draw, Rios coming off a loss and getting pulled up to 147, Mosley coming off Floyd’s beat down, Cotto, Margarito and Oscar catchweights including Margarito coming off a KO loss to Mosley, Vargas, Mathysse and Hatton getting KO’d by Floyd.

These are just off the top of my head. Including fighting Marquez at a catchweight.
