    I agree with this notion. The thing is - with the current events happening in welterweights, the position where Pac is now, along with historical achievements that is possibly in the grasp, it’s really tempting to watch him try to take it. But on the other side, enough is enough. I want Pac to retire healthy too.
    True... pac is in great position to make more money and history... he’d be on top of two welterweigh eras who wouda thunk it.
    Not only the money is tempting.. but the fights are also winnable even at 40 plus. (He’ll be the underdog though no doubt)

    I still think enough is enough. His legacy is already set in stone.. what can be added doesn’t outweigh the importance of his health.. and the satisfaction he’d get when he retires on top like could now.

      We will never get enough.

      But throughout the sport’s history, it’s always “i still feel young” until that brutal KO and reminder that father time cannot be defeated. I don’t want that for Manny. He deserves a good ride into the sunset.

      He already exceeded expectations with his longevity in this sport.. noone thought he’d still be there competing at the top level 10 years later.. still carrying that explosive style. Not even his diehard fans.

      I do not fancy a floyd rematch.. other than money.. that fight doesn’t hold much weight in history. The first fight was already 6 years too late and pac was out of his prime by then..
      Even more so now that they are in their 40s.

      A farewell fight... over khan would be easy to bear.. or against a nobody in the Philippines. One last time.

      Pac is more than a winner. And the most loved and adored boxer of all time.. his achievements speak for itself
      yeah i know what you mean. I have to agree also. A fighter will chase his next win like a drug addict chases that high. Neither turn out good.
      not sure on the farewell fight though. Sometimes that can haunt you. And not end well. I would like to see him go out taking down Spence or Crawford. No not Crawford. Bud can get on his bike pretty good AND will fighting Manny. Spence may fight him. Then seriously leave over a win. Id hate to see a loss in a farewell fight to an opponent he should smoke out of there backfire on him and get smoked.
