His legacy is secured.
No more interesting match up that enhances his legacy.
Obviously physically and psychologically in the declined.
Still has his health.
Time to retire champ
I agree time to hang them up. Its over. He won clearly on my card but its time. Only a matter of time before hes seriously hurt.
This.
His legacy is secured, and the Floyd fight is long past and gone.
If no mayweather fight in 2015, retire... nothing left to prove
Though he should fight the odd cabby until Floyd retires so Floyd can't say Manny retired to duck him. Floyd would go there as soon as Manny was out of the gym long enough to be totally out of shape.
Manny is definitely one of my favorite fighters, he honestly can say he has nothing left to prove. While I feel his experience and speed is still world class and competitive against all comers, maybe its time to step down.
Only 2 fights that have any meaning is JMM (avenge his KO) and of course Floyd (really just to say they did it and for the fans. It will have an * for many reasons).
I don't get why people keep saying PAC is done, is too scared?? Wtf do u want PAC to do? Walk in face first to get smash for u to say he still got it? Lol. Yall some dumb mofo. PAC just beat a young in his prime fighter, PAC made Bradley look like an amature in there.
Why do u guys think bradley abandon his game plan? U think someone doing great at his game plan is just gonna throw it out the window for nothing?? Bradley went on full retard mode because PAC neutralize whatever Bradley brought to the table. To say bradley lost the fight himself more so than PAC beating him is pure hatred.
PAC is the not the same throwing 100+ per rounds but we knew that going into this fight so why is this a suprise? PAC stopped throwing 100+ per rounds since 4-5 fights ago already. Why do people act like this is something that was done overnight? Dude picks his shots more precise now, could this be because he's slowing down, it's possible. It could also be because he doesn't want to get reckless and careless when he's clearly winning the fight already.
And PAC giving Bradley his props at the end, when did PAC ever not give his opponent his respect after the fight? Saying PAC is done because he admitted Bradley hurt him? lol. PAC says this about his opponents all the time after the fight. In the rios fight PAC even said rios hurt him, this is just manny being manny, don't look so hard into it.
PAC is not in his prime and his better days is surely behind him now but he can still very much compete at this high level. Gotta remember Bradley is not an easy guy to hit, his upper body/head movements is what made PAC look like he's old when in reality Tim was just showing a lot of good movements. When has anyone ever made Bradley look like that in the ring? And u guys is saying PAC is done lmao!!
Let's just say Manny is now a more cautious fighter. Of course we're not used to that kind of fighting style. But he still beats a top prime fighter. No doubt he can beat Provo with that style. And definitely a non-juiced up Marquez.
He looked slower than usual.
He gets hurt by an at best average puncher.
Pacquiao needs to cash out and leave boxing. For his sake.
He will get hurt by above average puncher. His style wasn't meant to last past 35 IMO.
He had just taken the "0" from Bradley twice, undefeated prime champion, wheres that Pacquiao only fights drained, washed up, coming from loses fighters, now that he dominated neither of those, he should retire? Come on.
marquez wants that 147 belt badly, pac was 99 percent there to knock marquez out before he got caught with a desperation punch, he needs to finish marquez off
then retire, i am sure he would knock marquez out if he fights the same way like he did vs bradley, less aggression than normal
