yeah, I'd take Thurman by UD over Manny.
You disappoint me, Thurman has shot Jositio Lopez problems, a fight he targeted like 2 years, Berto doesnt even have Lopez problems.......Nikka aint on Manny level.......Matter of fact Thurman should take a tune up with Matthysse as a tune up to see his current level as Lopez is definitely a lesser fighter than lucas in my book to get a fair gauge of Thurman's current skillset

I think for some of us, we were high on Thurman in the beginning.

Enter Luis Collazo

Keith took a body shot in the fifth round of this fight that has virtually changed how he fights. He made an executive decision on the spot. He wants no parts of inside fighting anymore. So, he's going to fight Manny on his back foot? I don't know if he's good enough to do that.
Keith cant fight inside at all not his style, he doesn't hold, but he has some elite foot speed, he's a pot shotting boxer puncher, that may a flurry or two to steal rounds.....Get past the first three rounds where Thurman try to start early and wing bombs and then he aint so bad

Thing is Manny a better boxer, better chin, better power, better counter puncher, faster feet, aside from age Thurman does nothing better than Manny..........

I agree. Not to mention Manny’s work rate and stamina are also better.

I mean... Kieth came back from said body shot ko and still won the fight did he not? That takes guts. He went on to win every fight after that did he not? Manny has been consistently outboxed and defeated by cerebral counterpunchers with power has he not?

Thurmans shoulder is jacked up now and has been for a while, he may never be the same guy... I could understand if that brought some doubt. but I'm not buying this narrative here that he woke up one morning and decided to randomly become a coward after beating opponent after formidable opponent.

JMM beat him the once and we all know JMM was cheating, are we gonna pretend that Manny wasnt kicking his ass when he got koed anyway, JMM had a 2 round window to survive with how things was looking.........Outside of that only Floyd beat him, and Manny was game enough to neutralize Floyd jab and have him adjust and adjust again...Floyd struggled there and had to put his jab in the holster the second half of the fight as Manny would lean, roll and counter with his own left, Floyd had to adjust a use the left hook exclusively to offset Manny's rhythm and footspeed as he had Floyds timing down for the most part....Manny was so defensively sharp the most accurate fighter of all times had issues touching him.....

Yall seemingly think Manny is a bum ass wild brawler......But but but horn, even with my Manny hating eye Manny played his ass off the first 6 rounds as he was trying to justify a Horn choice and a ESPN showcase, shyt just got real there:manny:
