    Time to Hang em up Manny......

    8 Division World Champion
    The only Lineal Flyweight to be the Lineal Featherweight
    The only Lineal Featherweight to become the Lineal Welterweight.
    Fighter of the Decade
    3 Prime HoF in his resume
    Arguably the Greatest of the Generation.
    My top 11 in my ATG list.

    You've paid your dues. You got robbed but it doesn't matter, because today you are just an echo of what was once Pacquiao. You cemented your legacy as the most successful weight climbing fighter in boxing history and also arguably the greatest south paw. You have proved everything and had lost nothing today.

    Thank you Manny.

    I agree last night he looked like a sitting duck at times.

    If that was Spence, Brook or Thurman the results would have been ugly.

    Lucky Horn doesn't have KO power or the ability to hurt Pacquiao

            Pacquiao is going to be one of those boxers that fights for way too long, like RJJ and Toney.

              Time to hang em up for sure. Manny has been past it for a while, but now he's really starting to look shot. I thought he might have had two or three good fights left in him, but after yesterday I say he's done.

              People forget how bad Pac looked in the second half of the Vargas fight mainly because he looked good the first half of the fight and scored a knockdown.

                Other than changing your post to read unquestionably the 2nd best of his the era behind Floyd and some other over the top proclamations, I agree with your post.

                  Pacquaio was never Lineal Welterweight.

                  But yes legendary career. Time to hang them up indeed.

                    When Floyd retired, Pacquiao became no.1 and Bradley became no.2, No.1 and No.2 fought so Pac became the Lineal Welterweight in paper, regardless if you feel that Pacquiao should or should not have become.
