    Pacquiao doesn't need to retire, he's still capable of competing at a high level

    He still has bursts of explosiveness and quickness. His speed hasn't really fallen off too much, and he still has decent accuracy. His stamina could use some work for sure though.

    My only concern is that he shouldn't be fighting anyone extremely heavy handed like Keith Thurman or Crawford. His defense is still poor apart from his lateral movement and I'm afraid he might get viciously knocked out cold. He should look into fighting the winner of Broner-Garcia or maybe even against Danny Garcia.

    Manny ain't look to good in the fist half of the fight, he seemed off balance to me more than normal. Maybe cuz horn was the bigger guy? It's time to let it go, he can't hang with the Youngbloods like Errol.

      Can compete, but not at 147. every top 147 beats him.

          I'm not sure.

          Horn was unranked and even if you think he won he was far from impressive.

          But Horn was quite decent in fairness I'd like to see him mix with the other top welters see how he does.

            I think TS just wants to see Manny carried out on a stretcher
