Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Stands By Retirement Call, But Leaves The Door Open

Manny has 2-3 more good fights. I'd like to see him against Canelo & try to go for his 9th division title. Win or loose..he's got nothing to loose but lots of money to gain. 2 male lions photographed mating together. Pacman Power!

He'll be back.

A true great of the modern era...whether your a floyd fan or a manny fan....we can't deny just how much of a legend in the ring he was......respect sir

Manny Pacquiao earned his right to retirement. He's beaten Bradley 3 times so that now has a seal of being official. FMJ won't come back out of retirement I'm pretty certain and that would be the only fight that might lure Pac-Man into one last fight. It's a closed curtain 99% sure. All that's left is to see if Juan Marquez will retire too and such will close the door on the 3 greatest fighters of the last 30 years. Can't think of one fighter who has fought who might compare to those three (Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson be about it). Who will fill their shoes? Alvarez maybe? Rigo perhaps? Who knows, maybe Terrence Crawford, and Bradley can still chisel his name somewhere in there if he can figure out how to perfect his style. It's been a good time to watch boxing and no doubt the loss of these three legends will hurt the sport a LOT! MMA will continue to take a lot of spectators from boxing but boxing will always have its loyals. No doubt at some point there will be times when Floyd fans will run into Manny fans who will run into Marquez fans and great debates will ensue over greatness. AAHHH what it means to remember that's what will have made all the countless hours spent watching your favs in the squared circle, ----- to remember...!!!

It was an honor to watch you fight Manny.

What if there never was a Manny. Boxing would have been in a way worse state than it is now. He didn't make the most money, but he made the most excitement, the most intrigue, and the most memories. He's top 10 all time.

Spoken like a true boxing fan.

Thanks Manny! One of the ATGs, I'm glad to have been a fan since his Ledwaba fight.

Its all gonna depend on the May 9 Philippines senate elections. If he wins, he's done. If he loses, he'll fight again.
