    I'd suggest he takes a couple of 'farewell' fights and hangs them up. It'd be good for him to finish on a high.
    Crawford would stomp Manny @ 140

        I would watch a manny khan fight. I think khan outworks him as long as he can stay away from a big shot

          lol he was getting outboxed by Dulorme until he caught him. Crawford is good but the hype is getting out of hand. Manny would wreck him, it wouldn't be a competitive fight.

            you don't understand, Mannys old Manny is gone, it will never return. We've seen it countless times in this sport. The old champion starts his decline and soon he is an out of control snowball bouncing and barreling down a mountain side, racing at ever greater speeds to it's demise. And once it starts rolling there is nothing that can stop it.

            Manny Pacquiao is a smart man, he has other ventures in the works now with nothing more to prove fighting in the ring.

            It's time for Manny to turn 180' from the ring and walk off in to the sunset, with all of his belts and all of his money to enjoy life as every champion should.

            Manny Pacquiao..............

              He's going to run for President in his country. The whole build up and marketing from Top Rank was to help his political aspirations, now that his tax problems maybe behind him.

              He's been exposed, and made to look amateurish by Floyd, and knocked out by Marquez. The media is doing their best to save face, especially ESPN, so he has some options. But if he goes anywhere near Crawford, he will be exposed again.

              Best bet is to fight Khan, he has a punchers chance. Good money in this fight, and I don't believe Khan can win.

                When does Manny's contract expire? I know he just signed an extension not too long ago. I think Arum will use him as a sacrificial lamb for Crawford or someone else under the TR umbrella.

                    That's what you gathered from that fight? He was setting Dulrome up from the outset. Dulorme was being aggressive but predictable but Crawford had to respect his speed and power before turning up the pressure. Hell, Crawford purposely avoided throwing his left hook for damn near 6 rounds to set it up by constantly jabbing. Once he feinted the jab, Dulorme reacted and the hook came. Chess not checkers.

                      pac vs matthysse and pac vs khan ...will still be profitable.

                      It's either
                      pac vs matthysse in Macau
                      pac vs khan in UK, dubai, or Macau

                      Pacquiao vs Danny Garcia would be a good fight. But highly unlikely.

                      I just don't see Pac going the regular HBO route. He'd probably retire instead of taking 2 million paydays on regular HBO.

                      I think he's going to 140lbs and will stay at 140...so that's the reason I think Matthysse will be the guy.
