Retire Pacquiao and train the next generation of Philippino fighters before you end with brain damage.

Maybe it's for the best, if pac got the title then he might want to defend it at 47 years old

He looked better than he did in his anpo fight but mostly barrios who was reluctant to throw and gave pac too much respect

With barrios in this case pacs declined timing didn't matter much just his power.

But really any other more technical fighter will have a field day with pacs deteriorated timing , that's why he lost to an already older ugas

I only seen flashes of him old self, and it's sad Freddie didn't see this in camp, but some great trainers would have stepped away and said we are done and made history but it's over now!

Someone needs to tell Gibbons that you don't get extra points for age.

PACMAN was robbed BIGTIME.

I like Pacquiao's chances more against Tank than Romero and here's why. Tank is more of a counter puncher who doesn't like to take many risks or throw many punches in the ring.

Rolly Romero is the complete opposite. He does let his hands go, takes risks and will fight to pursue Manny. Playing the counter punching role with Pac at this stage of his career won't work.

One is going to have to take the fight to the old man like Barrios started to do in the 10th round in order to defeat him. I say this because Manny still throws good combos and puts his punches together in bunches well; Even at the advanced age of 46.

Manny got a draw and that was most definitely the right result. I think seasoned fans like myself will agree the judges got it right. Manny got out unscathed and healthy he’ll be 47 in December and should retire knowing he went out with a solid performance. Let’s hope common sense prevails.

I like the Tank fight since he's also coming off a draw against a featherweight
Manny is coming off a draw against someone Tank stopped at 140, but Tank also lost rounds to Barrios.

In a 10 point must system, had the fight gone to 12, the cards would've been around 116 in favor of Tank.
Manny fought the heavier version of Barrios from a 4 year layoff.

It's gonna be fire!

Considering most of the recent lightweights are already at 147 or in the midst of moving there.
Ryan Garcia just fought Rolly and they might rematch.
Haney fighting Norman.
Shakur fighting Benn.
Tank fighting Pac?
Teo vs Thurman?
