    If has the drive to stay on for a year or so there a couple interesting fights. Matthysse, Garcia, Crawford, Khan, Thurman... so if he still has desire there certainly fights that will pay out well!

      No don't retire in a loss, fight Matthysse at the end of the year then Crawford in summer 2016 then retire. That will cement his legacy as the second best fighter of the era

          Pacquiao likely beats most guys too, he probably beats Matthysse next up but other than money what's the point in going on? they're both past prime, they've both achieved pretty much all they're going to achieve and neither seems that hungry any more. They should just call it a day.

                Back to Macau for Manny. He'll get a PPV fight, flop, then make his grand return to regular HBO.

                  Nah, he still looked like a good fighter. He just couldn't hit Mayweather. He's moves alot. But he could still provide some exciting fights if matched up well.

                  On a side note, if he retired today, I wouldn't mind nor miss him. Same for Mayweather.

                    Aging fighters going down in weight is a recipe for disaster.

                    it never seems to work well and is worse the older you get.

                      Matthysse
                      Ruslan
                      Crawford
                      Garcia
                      ect.

                      I'd like to see Manny in those fights.
                      Yeah the KO had nothing to do with Pac's tentativeness!
