    I hate to say it, but I don't want to see Manny Pacquiao in the ring again. He was beastly in the Thurman fight, but he's turning 42 next month and with COVID not going away anytime soon, he may be close to 43 years old by the time it can be a extremely profitable and lucrative scenario for him to step back into the ring again. Don't think a $20 million plus payday is a possibility for the foreseeable future. And too much time will have passed since he beat down Thurman.

    His career looks nothing like Duran's.

    But yeah he should. I don't wanna see him go, but I'd rather see him go than get seriously hurt.

    We can expect Pacman to be the first in line to test any modern technology. Once he is fully loaded, the extra density heavy fluids will force him to move to Middleweight, which is very convenient.

    You want Pacman to retire and become a fulltime lame politician who is not allowed to chin his opponents

    I've said this for a while. Beating Thurman was unexpected to me and a great note to go out on. He's at a age where guys turn old overnight. No need to see him get mauled by some young guy who wins because his main skill is being younger and fresher. Pacman has nothing left to prove - unless Mayweather wants a second crack I guess - and he needs to enjoy his life now. Same thing for my favourite fighter, Golovkin. He's maybe got 2 fights in the tank and then he needs to hit the pasture.

    I think if Pac had gotten back into the ring in December 2019 that Spence and Crawford fights would have been 50/50.

    Exactly why he’ll probably end up fighting Conor McGregor.

    As for boxers, I’d be fine with him beating either Garcia.

    Thurman was inactive and ripe for the picking against pac. Would be a great way to go out

    That wouldn't happen. He's too skilled and wise. Plus a 50% Pacquiao is still 2X the fighter a prime Gatti was.

    That's nowhere even close to being true.

    I see you moved on to Inoue lol. But yeah you're right he needs to call it a day, maybe a farewell fight in his country but that's it

    I gave legitimate reasons. The nearly 2 year lay off plus his advance age is just a very bad thing.

    And I've been hyping Inoue since his run started with Narvaez.

    He should spark tank out and then call it quits.
