    I think he'll continue fighting in 2020 minimum

    Take an easy touch in Garcia or Khan

    Get hurt by Spence or Crawford

    then retire

      I’d like to say yes but it would be ****** to leave that big Khan payday lying on the table. Take that money before you go.

        Yes please. He can go out on this great victory tonight. He would get whooped by either Crawford or Spence. He showed visible fatigue in the second half of the fight. He just sat there when Thurman was hurt to the body and that was his best opportunity to get him out but he was so tired he couldn't. This would be a good win to ride out on in my opinion. He has nothing left to prove

          I want to see him fight the winner of Spence vs Porter, which will be Spence, and get knocked out hard AF.

            Yeah, I agree. He should retire. He looked good in spurts but he started to slow down at the end and absorbed some the heaviest and hardest punches by Thurman that appeared to hurt and shook him.

            If that was a prime Keith he would have lost tonight. Pac's people chose the right opponent at the right time. However, Pac needs to retire now. Even though he looked superb in spots, however at the same time, he has nothing left to prove.

              I like manny but no way Danny is easy fight for him. danny is the same quality of fighter as Thurman.

                Yes he would have, the knockdown was at the end of the round. He wouldn't have escaped the body shot round though

                  That's the thing, Pacquiao is fighting guys from a completely different generation and he's still doing things like this. Not to mention the fact that he's a SENATOR. His jet is literally waiting to take him back to the Philippines so he can get back to work.
                  No, that's not the thing. He isn't 2012 Pacquiao, he's 2019 Pacquiao. Thurman isn't even 2016 Thurman.

                  I saw Manny get a great win tonight but I also saw Manny take a lot of punches from a much younger and stronger guy. If Manny fights some of these other young Welterweights, guys who aren't rusty or have been sidelined by injuries he could end up like Maxim Dadashev.

                    Fair enough,and that's why I think that he should hang them up. When I saw that he didn't have enough left in the tank in order to finish off a hurt fighter,I realized just how much pac has aged. The fact that he can still hang with guys a decade his junior is amazing.

                      I hope he will stop and end his carreer now after this good fight... But I doubt it. Its in the blood of Manny. A blood of warrior. Always want to fight and hungry for blood. He is not like us. He is special human. A hybrid alpha male. Religion took his animal instinct but his blood of a warrior still remains
