Pacquiao to retire next year

Thx for article.

It's not surprising that Pac is now in the home stretch of his career. He's been in alot a battles and has so much going on outside of boxing. Dec 6th will be yet another battle that will only further his retirement endeavors.

 

I think PAC vs. Mayweather fight is guaranteed if he is succesful against Oscar. Then PAC will retire or perhaps against Hatton.. I really cant see Pac fighting against JMM for the 3rd time.

 

I think it would hurt his legacy to not fight JMM for the 3rd and final time.
Maybe not to the future boxrec warriors but to the real fans like us it will.
I will remember it and tell my kids about it and so will you guys.

 

I truly do want to see a 3rd fight with JMM.

I hope the little tourney going on a lightweight continues and JMM comes out on top (or Katsidas ). There is a better chance of their 3rd fight coming off then.

As a big Pac fan, I want to see him retire next year but there are still a few fights I want to see him in.
JMM III is the main one but I understand he may need to re-establish himself as a viable option. Not in my eyes he doesnt but thats the way it is sometimes.
I would actually really like to see him take on Hatton, I think he could take that one and it would be a big win and a awesome way to end his carerr. To be the man at pretty much every division he has competed in since he won a title at flyweight.

I have no interest in Pac inflating PBF's bank balance or legacy.

To be honest those are the only 2 fights I really care about seeing Pac. Of course if another fighter comes out on top at 135 I will probably change my mind but I think Pac is long way past fighting tune ups or keep busy fights. Its actually a little sad to think he may only fight a couple of more times.

 

How amazing would it be to have a third fight between the two instead of the Hoya fight? :good

Sadly, I think they'll never fight again. If the boxing gods intercede and help Pac along to victory you can pretty much guess his next fight will be against Hatton or Floyd.

 

PAC is running for congress in 2010... :deal

He should fight Hatton before he retires.

 

He's already retired in my book. Post ODLH slaughter?

If he does manage to go down in weight and fight say JMM again, people will say he's a post ODLH Pac.. The fight out there, the only fight out there that is worth fighting for him, where he has something reasonable other than money to gain is against JMM.


If he somehow manages to beat Oscar, then all the world to him, and I mean that will be an upset that should put Pac on another level. But unless he somehow pulls a major upset, he's already retired in my eyes, he been a great fighter, never really ducked anybody in the long run. But should have given JMM another fight. He's going to ruin himself against ODLH imo.

 

**** philippine politics...

 

depending on what happens in the oscar fight, it would either be money may or hatton for pac's last fight. pac certainly won't even consider a 3rd fight w/ jmm for just "petty cash" after getting around 12+ mil for the dlh fight.

pac will also be looking for a 8-figure payday for his last fight and money may or hatton can surely give him that.

 

Another article in here yesterday or the other day says . . . after 2 more fights.

So that should be Hatton and the winner of either the Casa/JMM or Campbell/Guzman.

 

nah... it will be money may and/or hatton. too little money for those other fights.

 

after oscar... hatton and pbf. Those two are the biggest money fights for pac.
If he loses to hatton then he'll probably fight JMM...

 

I have no problem on the possible Hatton fight . . . but PBF ??? I seriously doubt it will ever happen. It's a big shame that PBF run away from legit 147 pounders and comeback to fight a mucg smaller guy.
