    He might as well just retire. Of course he needs money when he spends a million dollars on tix for people he doesn't even ***ing know.

      You're dumb because you make claims as though they are facts without without providing any evidence.

        But when u think about it, when has he not looked like this? It's always been his style, he'll always gets caught with something but bounces back. People say he's lost a step but he's still steps ahead of the competition. He hasn't knocked out anyone out becuz he's always been fighting bigger men. Do I feel he should retire? Yes, cuz he's at an age where he shouldn't be putting himself in the line of fire like he always have.

          Yes i think he should retire..but i also dont know his financial position nor can i tell a man what to do in life..But those defensive mistake will cost him with higher comp

            He can be reckless at times. Recklessness cost him a KO loss to Marquez in a fight he was winning. Of course Marquez's timing and power had a lot to do with it.

              Bottom line is he clearly won against a good opponent. Should he retire? Maybe, but not like he was beat up bad in that fight or took a lot of punishment so lets stop the overreacting.

                Manny is clearly passed his prime. He's still, however, quick enough and good enough to negate many mistakes he still makes.
                Only Marquez was ever able to make him pay for his mistakes.

                  I 100 percent agree....but in all honesty it is looking like he ma end up like Roy Jones..Manny is .25 of a second away from getting hurt bad..That is why i said Floyd needed to retired..shots he use to dodge by a mile were now only .25 of second from being a loss for him..Boxing is a game of distance and timing...a game of inches... Sure you can still fight but the reflex's are leaving and the speed is slowing...yet in your mind you think you are still that dude...

                    I think it has to do with the fact that he didnt really fear getting hit by Vargas. I think if he fought Thrman or Spence, he wouldnt be doing that. Example: the way pac fought oscar compared to the way he fought Hatton.

                      Manny is really fast, hes always lunged in like that but alot of guys find it hard to time him because he does it so quickly and he is very unpredictable, before they can react hes already hit them and side stepped out of the way . Only the best guys have been able to actually time him and exploit that weakness. Floyd did it and marquez gave him fits. Both great counter punchers.
