    Retire either way.

    If he doesn't, then the level/type of fights he should take shouldn't be higher than Victor Ortiz, Adrien Broner, or maybe Jeff Horn rematch if he fancies himself.

    Horn’s face was relatively clean. Now Pac’s Face was a mess. PAC looked terrible other than the 10th round.

    Should UBER/"Juiced" (Malaysia) Pac win on Sat. Manny should shoot to get a Mikey Garcia, Lomachenko or maybe even bait Floyd into another clash. (But stay the fuccc away from anyone else/the young lions stalking @ 147lbs at all cost)

    This. Both PAC and Lucas are old and shot, so even if PAC easily destroys Lucas he still needs to call it a day. Its only a matter of time before he gets smoked in the ring by some young guy. I'd say this is PAC's last chance to win a fight and retire on a positive note.

    Foreman talked about getting good offers to come out of retirement in 2000 and Foreman was seriously going to do it until his wife and children stepped in and reminded him that he didn't need the money, that his boxing legacy was set, and unlike other boxers he was able to retire on a positive note with his health intact.

    Hopkins couldn't leave well enough alone and ruined his legacy by coming out of retirement at over 50 years old and got stopped by a guy he would've easily beaten a few years before.

    It is incredible how a few cuts caused by headbutts can cloud people's memory of what happened.

    I'd like to see the list of welterweight fighters that have a better current string of 3 wins in a row than Bradley, vargas, and Horn. I am not saying that is some incredible run or anything, far from it, but if anyone else did it they would be hyped as the next big thing.

    Spence - Ocampo, Peterson, Brook
    Thurman - Garcia, Porter, Collazo

    Who else?

    I can see him going on for a few more years yet. He just seems like the type of fighter who won’t know when to stop.

    I don't wanna see him against Spence or Crawford. Loma is ok since he is smaller.

    If he has any balls it’s Spence or Crawford.

    Should keep fight B and C level guys that can offer ok paydays and ok wins.

    More specifically....

    Khan would absolutely be my next choice for him. It's risky but also highly winnable... and Khan, while not seriously relevant, is still a name.

    Possibly a Horn rematch. Maybe he'd be more prepared for what Horn brings this time... and if it's in the U.S he likely gets a decision.


    And just like that... a year has gone by, Pac has three ok wins in a row (matthysse Khan and Horn), and they can reassess the landscape.

    Actually scratch that.

    Even if he wins I think he should retire.

    I was posting assuming he won't though...

    Pac will unfortunately be sacrificed on the altar of boxing... a legend that boxing will take back from everything it gave. I don't expect a happy ending to Pacs career, unfortunately.

    Will his cuts from the third Marquez fight heal enough for him to take those fights.
