He's clearly no longer in his "Chin Prime" now seems like the best time to self preserve. If Arum attempts to make a Pac Marquez 5 then he'll be showing that he doesn't care about Pac at all. Pac will either get ktfo or partake in another war he can't afford to be involved in either scenario. Please Preserve Manny
All I hope for is that Manny saved some money for himself, so that he can live comfortably for the rest of his life after his boxing career is over. I never hated Manny, but I despised the idiotic *******s who knew nothing about boxing and talked **** anyways. I guess this is as sweet as it can get for those of us who had to tolerate their ignorance on ESB for the last 4-5 years. Manny is a great fighter, but I have always felt that JMM beat him all three times prior to their fourth fight. This just vindicates my belief, IMO.
Can anyone tell me what the purpose of a 5th would be? This fight will only be made to stuff money inside of Arum's greedy pockets. It does nothing for either fighter's legacy. They have proved that they are pretty much each others equal. Pac is going to end up punch drunk, he should just fight Bradley again, or Malinagi they're both pretty featherfisted and maybe cashout with a Mayweather fight. His options seem so limited bc he was brutally ko'd by a guy that isn't known to have devastating power.
He would be better off retiring. Unless they can pick a good fighter he beats convincingly to show he's back on form and then take safety picks. That way he will be able to keep face. Pacquiao is a warrior and will want to take on the best. I'm sure he wants JMM again but going after him for the KO may not be the strategy to employ
In a perfect world it would be great to watch Pacquiao return and do what Marquez did to him to Mayweather. Reality: a brutal KO, this late in the career, and the rapid decline we've seen over the previous 3 fights.... it is time for him to call it a day. He already has millions, is an ATG... why throw your health away for a few more paydays?
