    Good, he made the right decision. He has nothing left to prove. Rematching Ugas would have been bad for him.

    I will miss trolling my Filipino friends by always cheering on Pacmans opponents.

    But not as much as I'll miss watching the little great coming to put on a spectacle for us.

    I take my hat off to you Pacquiao. An absolute legend in every sense of the word!

    Retired on his own terms.
    Still standing on his two feet.

    The true ATG of the moder era of baaaxing.

    Good luck in your future!? PAC .

    I dont think this is the case with Pacquiao, imo he's one of boxing's greats who was actually appreciated while he was at the top of his game and that is'nt always the case with alot of greats from the past.

    He is appreciated don’t get me wrong but I think the longer time goes on the better it looks. I don’t think the type of career he’s had will ever happen again so the longer it goes the more unique and special his career will prove to be.

    I have Manny Pacquiao to thank for a lot of great times in my life. Thanks to my dad, I got hooked on boxing when I was eight years old but I did not have the same luck with my son. He just didn't care much for the sport. In 2009 I convinced my 20 year old son to watch the Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight with me and he was hooked. Since then we have spent many nights watching boxing together and having a great time.

    Thank you, Manny, and good luck in your future endeavours.

    Good decision, although it was one match too late. Happy retirement Manny, although I doubt it'll last.

    Malnourishment can affect head size. Over the years he started eating like a king, thus his increase in head size. I know a lot about head, so you can trust me.

    It's like what one supreme court justice said when asked to define pornography,,,I know it when I see it. Same way about steroid use.
    Inoue looks natural. Roman Gonzalez, there are others

    Appreciated?

    Pac has been one of the most hated/disrespected fighters of the last decade by fans, media, and even fighters.

    :lol:

    I'm glad that he retired and was privileged enough to see him in his prime.
    A true legend.
