Comments Thread For: Roach Will Talk To Pacquiao About Retirement: Maybe This is It!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Manny Pacquiao's trainer advised the Filipino legend to quit boxing Monday after his sensational defeat to unheralded Australian Jeff Horn. While controversy raged over the scoring of Sunday's World Boxing Organization welterweight title bout in Brisbane, after all three judges awarded it to unbeaten Horn, there were doubts whether 38-year-old Pacquiao would return for a possible rematch.

Good call...

He should just face Khan at this point. If he gets a KO it would be his 1st in years and puts him right back in the mix. If not he lost to a solid fighter and can hang them up.

Do it, man. I always wanted to hold out a sliver of hope because it's been such a fun ride, but no more slivers, man. It's ova. Manny is only going to get worse with every passing day. As they say Father Time is undefeated and Manny's time as a top level, A+ fighter is over. He's a B fighter now. And hell if he keeps fighting a year from now he may plummet his ass to the depths of C level.

No Horn rematch. Say bye.

Honestly Khan probably torches the Manny we saw last night.

Retiring after a hugely unpopular decision (pretty much a robbery) would be very sad.

More people are more mad at this outcome than Ward Kovalev 1.

No. Manny had only problems dealing with Horn's size and physicality..pac still torches anyone who can't just bulldoze him and allows him to fight in the mid range.

Horn could take Pacs Power and walk through punches.

Pac hasn't stopped anyone since Welterweight, period. Too much talk was put about him not having a KO in years. Quite frankly, the Cotto KO was just a stoppage by the ref in the 12th when either he should of done it sooner or just let Cotto go until the end Margarito style.

The fact is, Pac never truly carried his punching power up to 147lbs. It looked to be there at 140lbs but he only stayed to use it on Hatton and then left immediately. Obviously at 130lbs and below it was brutal, but at 147lbs it just keeps opponents honest. I'm not surprised he hasn't KO'd anyone truly at 147lbs... it's never been his true weight class, only his money weight class.

If Pacquaio couldn't retire after the Mayweather fight, he damn sure can't retire now.

Its pathetic to force this little ass dude to have to KO guys. Lame ass yahoo writer Kevin Iole has been dissing Pacquiao for the past 5 years for not being able to KO these bigger guys, he even downplays his performances just because he cant KO them

No other fighter in history has been pressured to have to KO someone to impress than Pacquiao, its strange as ***, the guy is naturally small he is undersized and was never a one punch KO guy, Pac shouldnt have to live up to those ultimate expectations is almost cruel in a sense because Pacman really tries to KO guys but just cant and he gassed out trying.

He should just box like he did with David Diaz and Oscar focus on pot shotting and moving around.
