    I was hoping to see him retire after Bradley 3, now we're in 2019 and he just added even more accomplishments to his legacy. I don't know anymore, it's up to him, I just really hope he knows when it's time to hang them up. This is one guy who should not be beaten out of the sport like all the others.

        Defo needs to retire, the young guys will eventually hurt him. Thurman is nothing special and he got pacquiao good to the body, which slowed him down a lot, and was landing clean to the head too.
        If he fights spence or Crawford they’ll break his body down and then do some damage. Sorry, I’m a big pac fan but that is what will happen, he shouldn’t be fighting these young guys now. I think, if there is a last fight, it should be against mayweather and then done.
        Pacquiao’s style doesn’t suit an older guy.
        Spence can’t counter for sht, doesn’t hit as hard as thurman and has poor defense and is even more flat footed with no headmovement. The only obstacle i see for Pacquiao in that fight is his stamina which he showed vs thurman is pretty bad and Spence is a volume fighter. Besides that Pacquiao can also likely easily defend against Spence similar to Garcia as Spence really isn’t that good at mixups and setting shots up. If Pacquiao had fought Spence yesterday he’d have beaten his ass even worse than he beat Thurman. Pacquiao’s power vs no defense is a bad mix. Next year though I don’t know, Spence likely survives an early beatdown and decisions a fatigued Pacquiao with volume playing safety first to a boring decision like vs Garcia.

          The thurman pac fought right now was definitely the best thurman

              Retire on a high... even if he fought Khan next and won, the only benefit would be a good payday, retiring on beating Thurman is a better way to go out.

              Plus it's unlikely that he will go on to beat the likes of Crawford or Spence, at least logically... Pacquiao excluded Spence from that poll for a reason.

                Khan is a china chin doll. Nobody would pay to see that.

                  If he doesn’t fight Spence or Crawford then go fight danny garcia.

                    He's in his 40's and fighting in a weight class that arguably has the deepest talent pool, not only currently but also historically. Why keep going and risk getting beaten into retirement when he can just go out on a high?

                    Its got nothing to do with Mayweather, he's not coming back, that's abundantly clear and they've already settled it 4 years ago.

                      Khan was paid an estimated 7 million to fight Billy Dib a matter of weeks ago, they would both get paid very well to fight in Saudi Arabia.
