    He simply does not belong at 147. He has not looked himself in most of his recent fights at 147. In his fight vs Marquez this is the first time in a while I've seen the old relentless Pacquiao from the lower weights and like I predicted prior to the fight he got knocked out.

    I think Pacquiao should move down to 140 and challenge someone like Danny Garcia. This is someone he can beat, a fight which could be made, and a weight in which best suits his body type. He does not belong at 147.

    He can stay at welter he looked fine just got caught with an amazing shot as he lunged forward . A bradley rematch should be his next fight or even fight one of the other champs malignaggi or alexander/brook

    Here we go. One punch changes what weight class he should be in. Remember he fought Margarito at 150. Mosley, and Bradley fights were at 147. Make no excuses for the man. He just got caught being reckless and got put to sleep.

    His devastating one punch knockout power is not there at 147 unless when he's fighting against a weight drained fighter.I guess we could say the same thing about Mayweather's power.I think fighters should just respect the weight divisions and stick to their weights.

    If he doesnt have it anymore,why was he winning after 6?

    Hes still top class, but he got careless and got hit by a monstrous punch.

    It happens, he can still come back and be elite for another couple of years.

    Who is left for him to fight at 147? He's not ready to fight Marquez again.

    His chin will never be the same. It's similar to what happened to Paul Williams. He should fight on but all the best fights are at 140 anyway. Berto got beat, Bradley probably wants Marquez or Mayweather now, who does it leave for Pacquiao?

    If Pacquiao fights Bradley again he loses by being outboxed. If he fights Marquez again right away he gets knocked out. The best fight really is Danny Garcia at 140. It's a winnable fight, a soft touch, and a fight people would pay to see.

    After that fight if he wins impressively then he can talk about a rematch with Bradley or Marquez.

    There is nobody left to fight period. He should just retire. This sleepy incident doesn't tarnish his legacy. He can now be fully focused on politics.

    He's finished. I wish he'd retire, but I'm sure he won't.

    Manny needs the money, he'll fight again, probably try to fight Khan or Devon Alexander.

    Always dangerous to move down at the end of your career having just been knocked cold.
