If Pacquiao Loses to Rios Is his Career Over - Should He Retire?

Yes, he should retire. This is an easy fight, a come forward brawler with no skill, the perfect match for Pacquiao. If Pac is not able to beat Rios then he should definitely retire.

Gunna have to start calling you Duck Boy , funny how Manny fans are such blatant chickens when it comes to strong questions . Whats the truth abut Manny getting weak from taking a blood test when its Floyd but not Rios ? be careful with this little bytch, for some reason he's allowed to insult you, but when you return the favor, he has you banned

no not baldness and cancer. But, he is responsible for having dirtbag dumbass fukface fans like yourself . :WORD: Gunna have to start calling you Duck Boy , funny how Manny fans are such blatant chickens when it comes to strong questions . Whats the truth abut Manny getting weak from taking a blood test when its Floyd but not Rios ?

he sold his sould to arum. manny is gonna be the next james toney wether he likes it or not

Delusional about the past and built in excuses for the future , a teenagers mentality LOL This clown (Pac-Bytch) is actually kinda entertaining. He believes Floyd is responsible for everything bad, from baldness to cancer

Whats the truth abut Manny getting weak from taking a blood test when its Floyd but not Rios ? Manny's menstrual cycle would have fallen during the time Floyd was asking for testing. Two weeks wouldn't be enough especially with Manny's cramps and all.Manny haters just want to see Manny lose....oh wait..

Cant except the truth...and Morons mentality. Whats the truth abut Manny getting weak from taking a blood test when its Floyd but not Rios ?

he should but it looks like he needs cash so it's unlikely. barring swrious decline, he should handily beat rios, thiugh.

I hate these topics regarding fighters shelf life. Losing a fight doesn't make you washed up or shot... You win some fights and you may lose some fights, but unless there's a drastic drop in your levels of performance ala Roy Jones Jr, then every fighter has the right to earn their living. The fight game is a relatively short career and they have to make their earnings last a lifetime; if you'd dedicated your life to one endeavour then surely you deserved the right to decide when you've had enough. No one's forces you to buy their PPV's, so please STFU and stop drawing up lists of boxers who need to retire. Find some new fighter to support and let loyals fans enjoy the bouts. Sorry to rant, it's just been bugging man's for a while.

Wgy should he? He showed no signs of slipping in the Bradley fight. He won almost every round. Got robbed. sustained no injuries at all. He was beating JMM to a pulp. Round by round JMM was being dismantled and picked apart. It was a round or two before he finished JMM. JMM was and did suffer more damage in that fight than Manny did. The only way Rios is gonna win this fight is by KO. Depending on how bad the KO is...Maybe. But that is the only way Manny is gonna lose this fight. On his back. Delusional about the past and built in excuses for the future , a teenagers mentality LOL

Well, he could still go on and fight, but that would be stupid.

if he loses (I don't think he will) by close/robbery decision (Bradley), then no. If he loses by brutal KO (Marquez 4), then he needs to call it a career WTF , Rios is a B grade bum and shafted at the weights coming of losses , chosen to specifically make Manny look good , Roach said this not me . If Manny loses this for any reason he needs to retire , he is more than a class above Rios , if he don't stop or totally dominate Rios he will not beat the elite fighters so he may as well hang them up .

as a HUGE Pacquiao fan, yes. I think he is rapidly declining and I even fear his punch resistance has gone down. If he doesnt lose to Rios he will lose very soon against someone else. So in other words, I'm kinda hoping he will retire after the Rios fight.. A year ago I wanted him to fight Floyd but I think he has lost a step and Floyd looks as good as ever so I dont want that anymore honestly. Sad to admit really...

I hate fighters going out on a loss especially top caliber boxers... But i'd expect Pacman would decide to retire should he loose especially if by ko. But i got pacman winning by ko anyway

There is absolutely no reason a Manny Pacquiao with something left to give would lose to Brandon Rios. If he struggles in any real way he should retire, let alone if he loses.

If he loses he can still fight on. ESPN and ballroom boxing is still a paying gig.

if he loses (I don't think he will) by close/robbery decision (Bradley), then no. If he loses by brutal KO (Marquez 4), then he needs to call it a career

pac is gonna get RJJ'd ala tarver Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

what's all this 'past his best' nonsense.... fighters can continue past their best and still rack up historic wins... see. b-hop.... roberto duran.... And like Muhammad Ali and Roy Jones too:alcoholic

If Pacquiao loses again, one thing will be confirmed. Floyd blew his chance of fighting the world's superstar in the sport. He's the guy who ducked Pacquiao. That my friends will be his lasting legacy. :unitedsta
