    We all know he seems to be a loyal guy. He has been with Roach for over 15 years and Top Rank for a number of years also (not sure how many exactly).

    Is it worth him getting a new team at this late stage in his career? He's got what, one or two fights left in him? I guess I'm only suggesting this due to Freddie Roach's unfortunate illness and they terrible gameplan he came up with to try to beat Floyd.

    Manny doesn't seem to be the boss, just goes with the flow.

    Yes

    Don't know if it will help but it can't hurt at this point
     
  3. Yeah he should. Then he can lean on "i changed my team" excuse

    Yes, keep Freddie but get rid of Koncz and Arum if he could. Just be your own boss for the last fight with some advisors. That way you'll keep sooooooo much more money.

    Pac took home close to 40 million for the Floyd fight after Arum/Koncz got their cut.

    It ain't bad. But it would be more if he just promoted himself with AL Haymon.

    It's too late now. He should retire, but he won't, unfortunately. JMM ruined him. No point in fighting on now.

    It's too late to switch teams and gain any benefit from doing so for Pac. He's just either got to retire, be carefully matched or find that spark again.

    Nah. He needs to only fight with two healthy shoulders and he stops Mayweather easily. Like Haye would stop VLad easy with 10 healthy toes.

    There is absolutely no point in him changing trainer because an old dog with 1 or 2 fights left maximum isn't learning anything new. But I think he should get a S&C of the highest level to help him aid in recovery because injury seems to be a problem for him lately.

    Hell c'mon watch that fight again closely with sound muted.
    That was a close fight 115-113 to Mayweather was fair but he was fighting an injured seriously impaired Manny Pacquaio. A 100% Manny may have been quite a different story. Floyd was going to win the fight if it came to a decision we all knew that going in BUT hell to sabotage him that way????
    DIABOLICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Manny should retire, the moment you think you're winning fights that you're clearly losing is the sign that it's time to hang up the gloves and move on in life. It just means he's now likely to lose matches to fighters like Bradley (legitimately) because he thinks he's winning and doesn't pick up the pace to close the fight out.
