It's hard to pick against Manny because you know that there's always one more great performance from an all time great.
At the same time you think about it. 41 years of age, had more wars than any fighter in his battle-worn body, still fighting at a weight limit beyond his natural body weight and he's not fighting a stiff fighter,--He's fighting an Elite world champion whose stronger, bigger, longer, more powerful, younger and in his absolute physical prime undefeated Champion. Keith is not faster than Manny but he's faster and more athletic than Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford.
Pondering with it. How much longer can he hold off against such
a compounding disadvantage?--how much more handicap can a one man take? .. I think this is a perfect storm for Thurman.
Keith is such a smart man, he knows that this is his one and only shot at greatness, by winning, he can put behind all his competition at welterweight and with Pacquiao's head he is likely to get a supreme leverage is future negotiations against any welterweight. This is why he hired 2 S&C coaches, he dusted-off his ring rust against Jossesito Lopez, and he speaks with utmost confidence never before seen in all of Pacquiao's opponents. He knows he's 120% well-prepared and he's not leaving anything to a chance. He expects to destroy a legend this coming July 20 no ifs and no buts.
