Interestingly, while it appeared that Thurman was the odds-on favorite in the initial phases, it now seems that the momentum is swaying in favour of the Pacman! Let us take a closer look:

Manny Pacquiao to Hand Thurman His First Loss?

Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman is all set to be a battle between Pacquiao’s experience and Thurman’s youth. The ten-year age difference gives a major edge to Thurman. This is why several boxing pundits had supported his win. However, with time, it seems that the Pacman’s support base is on the rise too, and he has found several backers as well.

Former WBO Welterweight Champion Chris Algieri has now backed Pacquiao, claiming that he has got what it takes to hand the undefeated Keith Thurman his first loss!

Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman: Will The Pacman Retire if he Loses?

Image FightSport

Thurman, during his trash talk, said that he is going to ‘retire’ Pacquiao. Interestingly, considering that the 40-year-old has taken enough beating already and that he is now an active politician, him continuing after this is indeed quite doubtful! Unless he gets that dream rematch with Floyd Mayweather, it looks like Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman will indeed be the Pacman’s final match in case of a loss.

Ex-Pacquiao Opponent Breaks Down Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner

Ex-Pacquiao Opponent Breaks Down Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner

Former world champion Chris Algieri knows a thing or two about Manny Pacquiao having shared the ring with him back in 2014.

PacMan won a unanimous points decision that night against the much taller Algieri.

While that was four years ago it perhaps is more representative of the version of Pacquiao we see today as opposed to the prime PacMan of old.

Speaking to EsNews, Chris Algieri said…

Perception vs. Reality: The Truth on Errol Spence

"“The Truth doesn't belong to anybody, if you see it then speak it." - Brother Ali "

Throughout boxing history, several fighters have played the role of the boogeyman. A fighter who has the perception that other fighters are scared to step into the ring with them. In the 1980’s Cincinnati, Ohio’s Aaron Pryor thought that fighters like “Sugar” Ray Leonard avoided fights with him. Pryor would find his superstar opponent in Nicaragua’s Alexis Arguello and produced one of the most epic action-packed battles in history.

In the 2000’s Mexico’s Antonio Margarito was once labeled as the most feared man in boxing as he ran through the welterweight division. When the man known as the Tijuana Tornado faced the “Punisher” Paul Williams in 2007, that title of being the division's boogeyman transferred to Williams.

In the Mayweather-Pacquiao six-year soap opera that lasted from 2009 to 2015, Floyd Mayweather was viewed as being afraid of facing Pacquiao. At middleweight, Gennady Golovkin took on the role of boogeyman as he was unable to secure fights with named opponents for years. By 2017, fighters like Daniel Jacobs and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez participated in close and debatable contests with the Kazakhstani puncher. 

In 2018, the welterweight division once again has a boogeyman. That role is now played by Texas native Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr (22-0, 19 KOs).

Spence at this time seemingly has the entire welterweight division on the run. Fighters like WBA & WBC welterweight champion, Keith “One Time” Thurman supposedly want nothing to do with Spence. Former welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are unwilling or apprehensive to face Spence. However, is this all a mirage?

While perception is often viewed as reality, that is a fallacy. Only facts can be reality. Perception is an opinion; reality is factual.

"“I have a belt and I’m still calling these dudes out – Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, all these guys. We wouldn’t be sitting here if Keith Thurman or Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter said they’ll take the fight. I shouldn’t be a world champion and having to call these dudes out. And Lamont Peterson answered the call, like a real fighter and like a real soldier should do.” "  -- Errol Spence Jr

The perception is that Spence would defeat any welterweight and it is only a matter of time before he does. It is factual that Thurman, Porter, and Garcia all operate in the same promotional universe. Perception has it that these fights have not happened because they are ducking Spence. However, does this mean that these matches will not happen in the future? 

At this point in his career, Spence blurs the lines between perception and reality. The Texas native has the look and demeanor of champion that will have a lengthy and extended reign on top. His performances against Chris Algieri, Leonard Bundu, and Kell Brook showed that he is more than ready to take on the elite. These performances have caused many fans to crown Spence as the king of the welterweight division and a pound-for-pound top ten fighter.

In reality, Spence at 28 years of age has had just one title fight. The title fight was against Kell Brook, who was coming off a failed attempt in the middleweight division against Gennady Golovkin where he was stopped in the fifth round and suffered a broken orbital bone in the process. The victory over Brook was significant and impressive with Spence remaining relaxed and poised fighting in another man’s country. Since the win over Brook, the hype surrounding Spence has bordered idol worship and insanity. Sometimes reality can be ignored if the perception is more entertaining.

This weekend Spence will defend his IBF welterweight title against Washington D.C.’s Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KOs).Peterson, while mostly inactive for the past several years, is a good opponent for Spence that can test him. Against the elite of the sport, Peterson has had varied results. He came close to victory against Danny Garcia and fell off a cliff when stopped by Argentinian puncher Lucas Matthysse in the third round. Using the perception that surrounds Spence currently in the sport, even a spectacular knockout over Peterson can be classified as him “doing what he was supposed to do.”

When Spence steps in the ring against Peterson, he is battling more than just an opponent. He will try to ensure that the perception around him becomes a reality. In many ways, he is fighting himself.  The truth on the “Truth” is that Spence has looked good thus far, but still has much to prove. The good news for fans is that Spence seems willing to prove that he is the best by wanting to fight the top fighters and reaching for that proverbial brass ring. As of right now, “The Truth” is more perception than reality until further notice.

Keith Thurman currently holds the WBA and WBC welterweight world titles after his win over Danny Garcia this past March

BY DANNY Z, SENIOR WRITER

SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND - Kell Brook has stated that he decided to take the fight against Errol Spence Jr. because he didn't want give away the world title he worked so hard to attain.

This Saturday, Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against mandatory challenger, Spence. As of this writing, the major world championships are held by a variety of fighters. However. Keith Thurman is the only 147 pounder that holds two in the WBA and WBC. Current Philippine Senator and a future hall-of-fame inductee, Manny Pacquiao, holds the WBO world title that he beat Jessie Vargas for back in November of last year. 

""Second best welterweight is Keith Thurman and Spence is below. He's [Spence] the real deal, but I don't think it's his time yet.""  -- Kell Brook

Brook, 31, carries only one loss that was suffered at the hands of middleweight, Gennady "GGG" Golovkin. The 5 foot 9 Brook shocked the boxing world by jumping up two weight classes to take on one of the most feared fighters in the sport. Following the TKO stoppage, many assumed Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) would drop his 147 world title and enter the junior middleweight division. But, this was not the case and Brook reached an agreement to fight the young, rising contender in Spence. 

Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) has been displaying his talent in a dominant way since turning professional after his stint in the 2012 Olympic games. The 27-year-old, who is from Desoto, Texas, is looking for his seventh consecutive knockout victory -- which includes names like Leonard Bundu and Chris Algieri. A win over Brook would not only give him his first world title, but also show his critics that he is indeed the real deal. 

Nevertheless, Brook is planning on retaining the belt he won from Shawn Porter back in 2014 and recognizes that Spence will eventually reach a world title, but that time is still sometime in the future. With a potential victory, the winner of this bout could find themselves in a unification clash with Thurman and Brook feels that will be him in that spot. 

""The ideal situation would be to unify against Thurman, and move up from there.""  -- Kell Brook

Brook vs Spence happens Saturday, May 27, 2017 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England, live on Sky Sports Box Office and on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in the U.S (5:15 PM ET / 2:15 PM PT).
