Comments Thread For: Ellerbe on Pacquiao-Thurman: I Think They Need To Do Rematch

[SplitSecond]

By the way, I absolutely think Manny would have a very real shot at beating Terence Crawford.

I'm not saying he'd be the favorite, but he'd have a very realistic shot. What's Crawford's best win? Terence hasn't beat anyone near Keith Thurman's level. Let's be honest. If Crawford beat Thurman (before Pacquiao beat him) it would be by leaps and bounds the biggest name on his resume. Hell even after Pacquiao beat Thurman it would still be by far Crawford's biggest W.

And size wise Manny would be much more aligned with Crawford than he was Thurman. Pacquiao still gives anyone a fight though I agree.

It would be a tremendous fight and I really find it hard to believe that it would be the one sided fight that a lot of people think it would be.

No one at welter has as good a name as Thurman. Crawford has the best resume after Pacquiao and Thurman.

Why didn't you B I T C H E S call for a rematch with Porter and Garcia. It was MUCH MUCH closer. Why? You khunts are all #fanboysandhaters

That's a good rematch too.

It was a close fight but not “razor thin close”. Ellerbe said it’s unanimous and not “split decision”. Thurman himself admitted he did his best but Pac simply beat him due to his tremendous skills and experience. Pac proves you wrong time and time again.

There will be a Pac/Mayweather rematch, they’re just trying to hype it up, marinate it a little longer to generate more money. That’s why Mayweather went to the Philippines to see Pac and they met again in Japan. It was already planned, even Broner believes they will fight again. Why not? They will make a lot of money again, what’s wrong with that?

Keith/Manny was real close & T.B.E. is not coming back.

Absolutely no rematch. To be honest we shouldn't have even had a Tim Bradley Manny Pacquiao rematch less two of them. The fight that really makes sense would be vasyl lomachenko needs to be his own man in step up against his father's wishes and fight Pacquiao at 139 pound catch-weight that's the fight that makes sense.

It's not his dad's wish, l0m0 himself said 140 guys are too much for him.

It would be good for Floyd to have his last fight against a legitimate all time great boxer like Manny Pacquaio.

It would not look good in the record books that his undefeated record was marred by breaking Rocky Marciano's undefeated record of 49 wins by getting his 50th and final win against a non boxer(McGregor) with a professional boxing record of 0-0!

Years from now, historians would always put an asterisk on Mayweather's record because of that and try to belittle his accomplishments.

Another win over his greatest rival in this era and an 8 time division champion and current WBA welterweight titleholder like Manny Pacquaio for his 51st win to maintain his undefeated record would count a lot in the rankings of all time best fighters in boxing.

What are you talking about? T.B.E. ALREADY beat Manny & it wasn't even close....LMMFAO!

And just look at the fighters marciano fought, T.B.E.'s resume shets all over marciano's, it isn't even close.

Historians Don't Know Shet Bout Boxing either, they all have their favorites....

Not only did Keith say that he didn't do enough to win over Manny, but he knew that he only won the middle rounds because Pacquiao stopped being active offensively for the most part and conserved his energy.

That is what an older veteran will do for you. Knowing that he couldn't maintain the pace he had during his younger years throughout the bout, Pacquaio deliberately set the offensive pace and dominated in the early and late rounds while using the middle rounds to rest.

I don't believe Manny won the late rounds, I gave Manny the 10th round only. Manny looked tired. Keith needs to go back & look at the film.

No need for a rematch. Fight was competitive, but Thurman lost and shouldve lost unanimously.

Nah, it was close & Keith could of got the decision.

[j.razor]

No it was clear. Idk how youre confused ?

He won it clear. There was absolutely no controversy. No one had it for Thurman not even Thurman felt he won.

My comment about him looking 40 had nothing to with the outcome of the fight, it had to do with him slowing down, getting tired, reduced output, & lack of ability to move his legs to get outta harm's way - characteristics of a 40year old fighter .

By that point in the fight he already had enough rounds in the bag plus the kd to get the W.

Thurman had all the advantages in this fight: youth, power, size, movement, & wayyyyyy less mileage. He just wasn't good enough

Before the fight it was, "Manny had a great training camp & looks like the young Manny." Keith made him look 40 from the punches you guys are ignoring & Manny had the advantage in Power & experience.

Why does it sound like Ellerbe is protecting Spence?

Stop it! Ellerbe is protecting Manny.

[j.razor]

Pac probably gonna duck Khan yet again.. to fight Once upon a Time. It's an expectation at this point

Stop it, nobody ducking khan.
