Comments Thread For: Roach Warns That He May Ask Pacquiao To Retire

[Bronx2245]

I think Manny could fight 3 more times easily...just not at 147. I think he should go to 140, or fight the smaller WWs @ 144. I would love to see Pac vs. Matthysse, Pac vs. Crawford, Pac vs. Danny Garcia, or even Pac vs. Broner! I think the WWs, most of which are 150+ on fight night, are too big, like Brook, Thurman, Khan, Porter, and Maidana. With the exception of Khan, do the bigger WWs bring Pac more money than Crawford, Garcia, or Broner? Last but not least, Marquez vs. Pacquiao V is the best way to retire! Avenge the KO at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, stacked undercard, and I'll pay $75!

Freddie Roach has warned that he would absolutely ask Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38KOs) to retire - if the Filipino star struggles in his next scheduled fight.

Pacquiao has been out of the ring since the May 2nd twelve round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao suffered what was initially claimed to be a serious right shoulder injury during the fight. Questions have been raised as to the seriousness of the injury with Pacquiao not taking his post-surgery rehabilitation as seriously as his team wants him to.

He should tell him to retire now, Pac's mind is no where near in boxing anymore and continuing to fight will only get him permanently damaged.

Yea 2016 should be it,let him go out with a win or 2 and enjoy his life

[Johnny Rubber]

losing isn't cool. and that's all you do - unless its a tuneup - please leave and let us move on you twisted little teddy bear looking thing

You need help more than Freddie When you judge people it defines you, not them.

It's Manny's decision, if he wants to fight, he should keep fighting but I hope he understands "the law of diminishing returns."

Boy that is some loaded bull****.

"Pacquiao suffered what was initially claimed to be a serious right shoulder injury during the fight."

No it was before the fight.

"Questions have been raised as to the seriousness of the injury with Pacquiao not taking his post-surgery rehabilitation as seriously as his team wants him to."

How does him not taking the rehab seriously equate to it not being a serious injury. I've seen guys with torn ACLs not take their rehab seriously. That doesn't mean that a torn ACL is not serious.

Even an article about Roach suggesting Manny may retire has to have some loaded comments in it to protect Floyd. There was no need for this editorializing.

what injury? oh you mean the injury they never talked about in between rounds, the injury that nobody watching noticed? that's the injury that was so severe he couldn't beat a 38 year old shot to sht Mayweather ?.. man give it up, the chump wasn't injured, he got schooled by an old man.

He just needs his rematch from Floyd then im sure he will be ready to retire.

pac should call out kahn in the media repeatedly, lead him on and then pick brook for the massive payday. After the Brook fight announce his retirement and ignore Khan.

I just want to see khan cry more, its amusing.

LMAO

[aboutfkntime]

pac man is finished but if he takes a safe fight like Floyd did and walks away I see no issues, hes had a hell of a career and his actions after his last fight were pathetic!

I can see Pac getting caught, but not sure if I can see anyone dominating him..... certainly not from the current crop of welters.

I dont buy the injury excuse at all..... but Pac still performed better than I expected against Mayweather..... and Pac did not win that fight, despite the to-be-expected sillyness that followed, but folks are tripping if they dont admit that Mayweather showed Pac utmost respect both by the way he fought and by his comments afterwards.

I dont have a problem with Pac continuing to fight on.

A fun action fighter who can likely still compete against the best.

Also, the " best " at 147, haven't proven shht to me, or to Manny.
