      Agreed bro. Time for him to ride out having won this last one. I really don't want to see him in there with either Crawford or Spence. I wouldn't mind him knocking Khan out for his last fight but then I don't want to see Khan get another payday for basically doing nothing

          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.
          Alright,but let that sink in. At this point the only two who could realistically beat Pacquiao are either Spence or Crawford. 2 big young welterweights who are both on most people's p4p lists. The fact that people have to bring up these two in order to find someone who pac would lose against is crazy. They guy is about to turn 41,is a senator,and has been boxing for 2+ decades,and yet he would only feasibly lose to the 2 best welters in the world.

            No he's going to clean out 147 @ 41 years old.

              Seeing pac crack Khan's China would be a pretty iconic way for him to retire. Not only that but he'd make a boatload of money if the fight is over in tHe Arab Emirates.

                I'd like him to fight Spence & Crawford, just to hear people who say he loses to them if he wins.

                  If he wants an easy fight, he should fight Berto or Khan next.

                  Danny and Porter are very competitive fights for him. Spence and crawford beat him badly.

                    Realistically, this version of Thurman was almost knocked out by Josesito Lopez in his last fight. I'm not very confident he'd beat Garcia or Porter again right now.

                    And that isn't to downplay Manny's win. I'm just trying to keep things in context.

                      Definitely he should retire.

                      Originally, he retired at 37 after winner the rubber match with Bradley. That was a good way to go out.

                      This win against Thurman is an even better way to go out than the 3rd Bradley fight.

                      Thurman was undefeated, and everyone was talking about him fighting Spence or Crawford. No one can say anything bad about Pacquiao if he chooses retirement over a unification fight with Spence or Crawford.

                      In fact, Pacquiao's retirement would make Spence-Crawford happen sooner because all of sudden Pac and Thurman would be off the table, meaning Crawford and Spence would need each other to get to that next level.
