Agreed it's time to put away the gloves for good. He should take a good look at the health of his trainer who admitted that part of his mental problems came from boxing too long. You can't be a part time boxer at the elite level. Your going to get hurt and it may be permanent. Roach should refuse to train Manny if he cares about him.
Time to Hang em up Manny......

Except Bradley wasn't #2. Not universally anyway.
You can't fight for an open lineage coming off a loss that alone makes no sense.
Pacquaio has enough great accomplishments we don't need to invent make believe ones for him.
When Floyd retired, the WW divison was wide open, as open as a weight class can be. The Lineage STILL hasn't been established two years later.Comment

Actually you got it twisted.. in the pac--vargas fight.. pac dominated the 2nd half of the fight.. just saying...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.Comment

Like I said, just on paper. On Paper Manny was no.1 after Floyd retired, and Bradley became No.2. So the Lineal Championship was created after the fight. When Manny retired on april, he vacated the Lineal title.Except Bradley wasn't #2. Not universally anyway.

You have to be universally considered #1 and #2 to fight for a Lineage.Comment

I thought Pac won the rounds in the second half against Vargas too, but he still looked bad in my opinion. Looked like he kept slowing down gradually.
I thought he dominated the first half, but did just enough to win the rounds in the second half.Comment
