A fight against Thurman would be great, and I think Thurman will win and that would make him one of the top contenders to fight the champion. Imagine, if the fight of Spence vs Crawford will not happen, then we can still see Thurman fighting one of them if the promoter will agree.

I think this is a good chance for Keith Thurman to really show what he can really do inside the ring and to mark that he really returns after that Mario Barrios fight, if Errol Spence and a Terence Crawford would not make it, then either of the two and Keith Thurman is an event saver, but I think Terence Crawford will be a hard fight for Thurman that is for sure, but I think Errol Spence will likely the one that he can have a shot to really win, but this is just my opinion because these two big shots is a real hard fight for Keith Thurman,

This will help Thurman in case the negotiation take place, a good comeback or motivation if ever he beat Ugas who beat Pacquiao who eventually beats him, the moral that Thurman may gain here is something that might push him more to come back and challenge a title holder, though it's not an easy fight as we have seen Ugas and his defensive tactics, too early to though and still needs to wait for any updates if ever a fight for Ugas will take place.

On the money side, it's a good move from his camp, if ever that he or they are planning for his retirement, having a great fight
can bring him a decent amount of money, especially if the promoters will take care of the advertisement.

If he would fight Ugas for me he could have a really hard time against him that taken down Pacquiao, but good conditioning and he is younger than Pacquiao so he can take on a few shots but I'd say he will not be dominant against Ugas and I really doubt if that could happen Yordenis Ugas is a quite versatile boxer that can suede any damage he took, and Thurman also needs to fill his gas tank because I think Ugas got decent cardio,

Thurman have that capabilities it's just so happen that Pacquiao manage to bring him down from the early rounds of their fight but we have seen him fighting back though not enough to impress the judge and the fans, but if ever that they'll be able to push this possible fight, I agree that bookies will favor Thurman here, fan base maybe he will get that edge.

That was a very different Manny Pacquiao that is younger, faster, and has that quite devastating punch that could knock out even Ugas, but sadly because of his age, and likely having busy with political roles, all those focused on boxing could not be found in him anymore, for me if he still has those quite sharp punches he can beat Ugas but it is now Keith Thurman's turn and for me, I might take Keith Thurman winning here, he is been beloved by other fans of Pacquiao now that he also become very good friends with Pacquaio, because Manny Pacquiao is a loving fighter that be friended even his recent opponents,
