Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Should Retire Now; 'Getting Older Sucks!'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Freddie Roach has been blunt with Manny Pacquiao since his controversial loss to Jeff Horn. Roach told Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole on Monday that he has informed the Filipino icon that he should retire. Pacquiao's longtime trainer also told the aging ex-champion that a rematch against Horn would be an acceptable final fight, but that he shouldn't consider facing any elite welterweights before he retires.

“I would suggest to Manny that he retire now. But he wants to have that rematch in a neutral area, maybe in the Philippines"

A neutral arena in the Philippines?

It sucks but it's happens to all great fighters.

Roach is right, rematch with Horn. Then maybe a farewell fight with a credible but not top class opponent.

We'll see. It's the end of an era. Enjoy them now Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, they will be gone soon.

Avenge the loss to Horn and then bounce. I know pacman doesn't want to go out like this

I think part of the problem is Roach is old as dirt and couldn't tell in training PAC was slipping.
