    Honestly, he should have just retired like he said he would after the 3rd Bradley fight. That was the perfect way to retire and get out.

    But he fought Vargas and even though he won he looked old. Then fought Horn and looked even older and worse even though I believe he won.

    Now he's in the predicament he's in now.

    The way I see it, he's had 68 fights. Rematch Horn to get the victory, then have a farewell fight against a decent but winnable opponent in the Phillipines and retire at 70 fights even.

    But we'll see what they do. He should have just retired after the 3rd Bradley fight. SMH
    I just don't see the guy retiring If he beats Horn In the rematch. It's going to take another shot like Marquez delivered to finally make him realize that he just doesn't have It anymore. I sure hope I am wrong.

      Lol, he better wake up and realize it. He's going to be 39 years old soon. It won't get any better, father time is undefeated.

      Hopefully Roach and members close to him can make him see that he needs to hang em up if he tries to continue fighting past what he should.

        just because of how winnable that fight is

        and that would a good way to pull the plug on a great career
        Agreed........

          It's amazing how manny has last this long. He gives it all in the ring and is only 2 shy of 70 professional fights. The wars he's been through in the ring and he still awesome to watch today. I think rematch Horn and then one easy bout in the Philippines and then call it a day.

            Beat Horn then fight Thurman/Spence winner and try to retire as the undisputed welterwight champ

                      Sure did, seems like yesterday that he was fighting Ledwaba, Barrera and Morales. I remember hating him for coming out of nowhere and beating Barrera.

                      Hard to believe that 16 year have passed since he started making a name for himself In the U.S.
