Did you see it?

Sounds like Manny won a convincing decision (Thurman didn't dispute it, which is good). Pacman's chin held up really well because he did absorb quite a few power shots from Thurman.

The rumor now is that Manny will take on the winner of the freshly-announced Errol Spence Jr./Shawn Porter clash. I like Spence Jr. in that one and I'd like to see Pacquaio retire rather than keep pressing his luck. But people can always cite examples like Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman, who showed it's possible to remain world class in your 40s. But that's the exception to the rule, for sure.

There's also speculation that Floyd might be up for a rematch with Manny. That would represent BIG bucks!!
