    Did Roach say that they want to do it again!? God no! Please Marquez, don't do another one. In fact, I think Marquez needs to retire. He'll never have a bigger win. He'll never have a bigger moment. He's 39 and the dude needs to go out on top.

    Marquez should push for a Mayweather rematch or retire

    ****, I can't imagine a better way to end your career at 39. Hope he takes it and rides off into the sunset.

    no. beating a faded, steroid withdrawl suffering Pac while you yourself are roided beyond human comprehension is not going out on top.

    might be a good idea to go out before he gets caught though.

    He couldn't have a better farewell performance but boxing owes him the multi-millions he should've made if they hadn't robbed him, so at the top of his marketability it"s extremely tempting to have another fight or three.

    Fight Danny Garcia on PPV I'd say.

    Juan should fight Floyd, if it can be made within 6 months.

    Otherwise let him humiliate & destroy Bradley, for one last, well-deserved payday.


    Then retire.

    Normally I would say yes... but this is his chance to finally get a huge payday (instead of a couple of very big ones) so time to cash out.
    I think he will get at least $15M for Pac 5 and maybe even significantly more.

    *******s are funny.

    When people were insinuating that Pac was on steroids, they were screaming that he never failed a drug test and that there was no proof.

    Now that their boy got smoked, suddenly they start accuse JMM of being on steroids, but of course he's never failed a drug a test and they have no proof.

    He should retire, or maybe put a beating on bradley, rios or bronner and then retire

    While Manny has always been an overrated, carefully matched fraud, the win is and was huge for the boxing world in general.
    Getting the official W, and the way in which he beat a guy who the media considered to be near god status is big.

    As for the second part of your post about the possible PEDs...

    :deal

    Yes of course he should retire. This would be the perfect way for him to go out. He wanted an official win over Pacquiao so badly he climbed up all those weights to try to get it. Now he has he has nothing left to prove.

    If Pacquiao had of done that to Marquez do you think they would have been talking of fight 5?!?
