Roach says 2013 close to the end for Pacquiao

He needs to go out with a bang then.

 

Running out of in-house fights?

 

He's slowing, and if they don't think he can continue to compete at the highest level he should retire.. Although I doubt that's the only reason....

Top Rank stable around his weight getting thin. Not many acceptable fights for him left. :yep

 

He should end his career with a win.

 

Keep it 100% and call out all these haters that call Floyd a coward and then I will respect what you say.:good

 

I hear ya', dude. But if I'm honest, I don't even think Bradley would be ideal for him at this stage. Pac needs his confidence rebuilding. He needs to be reminded of what he's good at. And I don't think Bradley would allow him to do that. He'll make it ugly again and, at best, Pac will just walk away with a somewhat dissatisfying win. Or worse, a loss! Because I really don't think Pac will be motivated for him.

A Rios or an Alvarado, on the other hand, would be a different story. They're half decent but they're also winnable. And, most importantly, their styles are suitable for building his confidence back up.

 

A soft touch like Marquez would be perfect!

he should just rematch Bradley already, far safer than JMM 2 and a winnable fight.

 

I agree. He has been decline for a couple years, and it only caught up with him vs. Marquez. But he's finished beating world class, near-prime, fighters.

What sucks is that they say he's desperate for money, so we know he'll keep going long past his sell by date.
