Crawford by stoppage would be my pick...

But, Bud can get caught and hurt too... Fight would tel me a lot, because Thurman might be the best guy he’s ever fought.

Shit would be Sweet Pea/Tito all over again for me, but geriatric is a bit much O. Dude just outclassed the cat that beat Porter clean. I hear you, though. I don't want to see Manny take the wrong shot at 42.

If the legend won't retire, I wouldn't mind the torch passed and either Thurman or Porter would entertain. Something. Anything. The killer from Omaha deserves the big fight.

Yeah that’s the thing, if Pac won’t retire then I guess he shouldn’t be protected... and he did beat Thurman so there’s that... But damn, I got Bud as 1 or 2 p4p, and I just don’t wanna see an old Pac take a beating from him, and I don’t see anyway around an ass whoopin to be honest...

Crawford is too mean to carry him

Pac has always said he wants huge money (even by Pac money standards) to fight Crawford, Thurman seems a much more realistic possibility and it's a good fight. Thurman is obviously coming off the loss, but you can't ignore those wins over Porter and Garcia. He is a former unified champ in a tough division and has tools which could give TC some issues, though it's a fight Crawford should win.

Anyone know when TC's Top Rank deal is up.

Deal up this fall supposedly

Pacquiao is toast if he fights a name fighter again. Layoffs like this kill old fighters
