Poll; Do you want Pac to stop fighting now?

[noStylez]

Hang it up, nothing left to prove. His legacy is stamped in boxing history!

He should retire now... He can get murdered by Porter, Spence or Crawford...

If he wants to fight once more, then he should just pick the likes of Lipinets, Berto, AK or Horn... DSG, too, but he's as dangerous as Thurman for GrandPac...

I voted retire but If he fights Khan or possibly Porter Id be ok with that. He needs to stay far away from Spence and Crawford at this point.

That's a hard question for me to answer....

I love watching his fights. They're almost always exciting and entertaining.
BUT for Pacquiao's sake/ health he really should retire. This was a very brutal fight for him. He took a lot of hard punches and was pretty worn down by the end. He was having battles like this more than 15 years ago. This is getting ridiculous ....and dangerous. The danger is always an intriguing part of this sport for us fans but a fighter has to pick his battles very carefully ....especially as he ages. I'm surprised that Manny hasn't retired yet. I kind of wonder if this brutal battle will have an impact on his decision to continue fighting. I suspect that he, Freddie or some others in his camp will be hesitant to continue fighting other boxers at such a high level. Maybe the money will be enough to convince him....but this is becoming an ever increasing risk for him.

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.

Honestly,I think that he handles them both. Garcia isn't a volume puncher,and likes to load up on big shots. He doesn't have the speed or footwork that Thurman does,which is what bothered pac a lot. Porter is high volume,but he is small and has really bad defense,and long lapses in concentration. He looked bad in his last fight,and was put on his behind by broner in the last round. That being said,they could very well catch pac at the right time and end him. But the fact that we are even having this conversation about the same guy who people thought was done after Marquez ko'd him 7 years ago is insane.

He'll keep fighting and take a beating vs. Spence next year. That's when he'll probably retire.

On the bright side, he made $40M this year fighting Broner and Thurman. Maybe Al will throw him a bone and let him fight Khan while Spence takes care of the Ugas mandatory. That way he can go out on another $40M next year.

It is. It's sort of unnatural that Manny is still doing this at his age. I'm glad I got to see it tonight.

Unless he gets the Mayweather rematch he should retire, he is at legend status and these pampered PBC welters don't deserve to get a win over a 41 yr old legend.

A Mayweather fight would be the biggest financial reward and I think Manny would win the fight. Mayweather is about the least dangerous opponent that Pac could fight at this stage. He won't incur much damage.

Simple Q. Whether you love him or hate him, do you want to see him continue or go out on a historic win like this?

Im one of bis biggest fans, and anything he does at this age(been a while now) is nothing short of amazing.. but ive been rallying for his retirement for years now. This is more than a great win to ride off the sunset.

If you’re truly a pacquiao fan, that’s what you will want for him.

[brick wall]

the first half of the fight kinda reminded me of the younger pac but then he can no longer sustain that high-energy style and he slowed down considerably in the 2nd half and took some damages in the process.

pac may have beaten thurman but that fight took a lot out of him. retirement is really the best decision for him right now but if the arabs want to pay him a lot of oil money to fight khan in saudi then he should take it for his last fight
