    Kinda shocked. Figured he’d take a last pay day type fight or maybe a retirement sensor fight he has apparently wanted for a long time in his home country.

    And Morales is also a scum bag for leaking this out

    It’s not his business to be saying this to the public

    Hope he gets one last payday in for the road. Funny about Morales - some people just what the look like, aren't they?

    Maybe Canelo 3 was his last pay day? I don't doubt he's still capable of fighting a few more top 160s but the guys 41.....had 45 fights, leave him to do what he wants to do....if he feels the timing is right then lets move on and pave the way for the nextgen.

    Why would Morales know. For those getting their knickers in a twist probably need to see what was said and the context in which it was said.

    He probably should retire for me. Has made an awful lot of money and isn’t the fighter he was. Could end up taking an awful lot of punishment with his granite chin also.

    He's an old fighter now and didn't look a patch on what he was like in his prime. No surprise if he packs up shop.

    Wonder if the news leak either pisses him off or just pushes him to retire.

    Honestly, he can fight one or several fights in his home city in front of his people as a send off, can fight someone top 20-30, smoke em and go out a hero.

    He trains Munguia,who reportedly is in talks to fight Golovkin in june.
    Golovkin might have whispered this during talks and Morales could easily hear the news.

    I mean he might know whether or not GGG wants to fight his guy specifically but I sincerely doubt he or Munguía would be privy to his decision to retire permanently before the rest oft the world. I'm thinking this is crossed signals or a game of telephone.

    That'd just be what he told them, though. That could be like when a hot single girl is getting hit on and says she has a boyfriend. :lol: Brush-off for you pesky Mexicans, I'm chasing that Maravilla money..
