Thurman punches hard for WW but I think he won't stop Pacquiao (too smart)!

Would go along with the consensus that Thurman, while looking a bit lacklustre in his comeback may not be near his peak powers, he probably has enough about him to beat Pacquiao on points.
I think Manny does have a chance though, as he would again Danny Garcia....but Crawford and Spence way too superir, and Porter too relentless at this stage.
I'd infact favour Porter over Thurman currently.

This is simply a passing-of-the-torch fight that is also part of a round-robin mini-tournament to sell an eventual super-fight between the winner’s of both the Spence Jr.-Porter fight and Thurman-Pacquiao, which should produce a unified WBC/WBA/IBF world champion at 147lbs.
Pacquiao and Porter will be used as high-profile (moderately competitive) sacrificial lambs to help promote an eventual super-fight between Thurman and Spence Jr.
