    Why did Manny Pacquiao say that he wants to retire in 2007 or 2008? he'd b so young..

    I mean you have warriors like Bernard Hopkins and Julio Cesar Chavez fighting from there amateur days to pro's and are considered sports legends

    why is a fighter like pacman who's only 27 thinking about retiring at such a early age? reminds me of a sad story like Barry sanders

    Pac DID not take that much punishment over the years, that makes you ask yourself, why is he really in this sport? I could see if he took gatti or Vargas like punishment over the years and his last few fights but bc of his size and punching power in the classes he was in I don't believe he did

    is he afraid of getting hurt? or is he hurt now? (which I doubt) or did he always just care about the money? you tell me

                    PAC has earned Millions $ and he invested his money on things that is proly doing well plus the endorsements w/c also close to a million $. annualy.


                    He's probably thinking of enjoying his life more and working less.


                    I think PAC should retire at age 32.
