If Rios somehow beats Manny,should he retire?

smdh at the TS slagging on rios. Rios would beat robert guerrero and the undefeated hatton that floyd faced. Exactly. You forget to mention Ortiz. Rios could disfigure him without sucker punching. People like to criticize Pac for picking come-forward fighters when the truth is Floyd is no different. There was Hatton in all his come-forward glory. There was Ortiz, Guerrero, even Marquez was forced to come forward because Floyd was happy potshotting.

This should be his last fight regardless. He should finish his career with what else, a win over a Mexican.

People act like rios has no shot,,, Same people probably were saying roy jones would beat the 9 loss glen johnson, it was a joke of a tune-up and then roy would get revenge on tarver..... Take every fight serious, especially at this level... Exactly. Fights aren't won on paper. Every fight is your biggest fight at this level.

If he gets somehow put to sleep again which i doubt he will get that careless again yes he should hang it up, if he looks really good then it will be a good start for a possible monster comeback. And anybody delusional enough to be saying that Rios has a chance on points is either Mexican or Rios cousin.

Manny should retire. I mean, he's not even 100% focused on boxing anymore with him being a politician and all. Plus, it doesn't look like he'll be fighting Mayweather anytime soon, which is what fans want to see, regardless of Pacquiao losing twice recently.

There is no reason in hell Rios should even win a round,If some way Rios manages to win should Manny walk away from boxing instantly? I try so hard to consider you a good poster, especially after you "stuck up for" larryx, one of my personal idols, but then you go and say something ridiculous like this, "no way in hell rios should win a round"? Please, give him some respect, it will be/should be a good, close fight.

Yeah, he should retire right away if he loses.

i think any boxing fan knows that a prime Pacquiao would take out Rios in less than 3, but Pacman might not be the same n he will have a young guy that aint afraid of him, n his hungry for a big win since he lost to Alvarado so yes Pacman needs to hang them if he cant beat Rios Marquez made this fight a little interesting

Manny Should Hang Them Up If he loses, yes it would be a great idea not to fight again. Manny's fight purses would take a major hit. Besides, he would be a first ballet Hall of Famer 5 years from now.

absolutely the 4th piss drinker fight was Pac's last hurrah, he's a spent force it's too bad he ended up getting stopped because he fought well Rios only has a chance because Pac's so far gone, but that's big if Pac loses here, he damn well better walk away he actually shoulda stopped after the KO loss to piss drinker got serious mixed feelings about this fight glad to see Pac back, it can be an action fight but Pac's over the hill and in serious jeopardy of hanging on too long

Unless it was on a cut or something else like that he should retire.If Rios beats him fair and square then he is not the fighter he used to be and he should not keep fighting when he has lots of money and a future in politics.

Even if manny get's ko'd he will fight again,,,, He makes too much money for other people.... Who is going to finance his wife and brothers political careers,, or make the house payments,, or buy everyones food and cover everyones bills... Manny gonna end up like holyfield, toney, roy, and countless other fighters who were great but then fought themselves into oblivion.... manny gets ko'd again,, he will probably sit out another year and then comeback vs scrubs,, win a few and then cashout again ala jones vs calzaghe It will be a sad sight, but have been saying it for years,, we will see floyd-manny after both have suffered losses, they will be 40 yrs old, and they will fight because it will be there last possible big pay day,,,,,

Manny can afford to retire, well I mean he has so many fingers in so many pies he can move onto other things. . . I wouldn't like to see that happen though, he's been a formidable face in boxing and has helped pave the career for this generation.

Absolutely bro

retire from championship fights..... but no need to retire.... a fighter fights.... that's what he does..... pacquiao could still make 100's of 1000's, if not millions fighting in places like Russia.... lol,,, says james toney

yes if rios beats manny, especially by ko,,, then manny needs to never fight again... I cant believe so many people give rios no chance,,,, This fight has roy jones-johnson written all over it,,, legendary fighter coming off a brutal ko loss to arch rival comes back to fight a tune-up vs an entertaining but average opponent gets ko'd again..... Manny is in the same spot roy was in a decade ago...... hopefully history doesn't repeat itself... would be sad to see pac get retired by someone like rios..

That's true, Rios hasn't had to prove his chin near this level before. I just don't think him getting past 5 is indicative of how much Manny has left at this point.

Floms would be glad to see Pacman get KOed again and retire. Hehe... They're always angry when Pacquiao is around. Hehe...
