Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said he would order the Filipino boxing great to retire if he suffers a bad loss in next week's comeback fight against Brandon Rios. The flamboyant Roach backed Pacquiao for a fifth or sixth-round knockout of the American in their November 23 World Boxing Organization welterweight title bout in Macau. But if the fight does not go according to plan, he said he would have no hesitation in telling Pacquiao to quit the sport after what would be his third straight defeat.
He said if Pacquiao wins in Macau, they will seek a fifth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez as a priority ahead of the long-awaited match-up with undefeated Floyd Mayweather. They want to avenge last December's sixth round knockout loss.
"We want Marquez one more time, yes. That's the fight we want," he said. "Mayweather too of course, but Marquez, he got lucky and we want to take that back."
