Manny please RETIRE, I dont what my hero hurt some more.

[Pavlik]

There is no point of continuing even though he might still have something left in the tank. That right hand definitely took alot out of him, I dont want my hero to end up like Roy Jones Jr.

[Julius Rain]

He was being more aggressive and just got caught. After all the fights, it seems JMM was just destine to be the Mexican to beat Pac.

A fifth fight would still be competitive and I'm sure Pac will still do some serious damage on any welterweight.

Why retire because he got caught cold? Pacs a warrior, I bet he wants a rematch asap. I think his fans need to be as brave as him. You can't celebrate his victories and be proud then but be cowards when he is the one that got destroyed. His a champ and always will be, don't be surprise if he comes back even stronger.

Yup. I don't get all the retirement talk.

We're all assuming Pacqiuao wasn't irreparably damaged from that knockout. Paul Williams was never the same after Sergio's KO. Throughout history, boxers who have suffered knockout losses like that frequently don't come back the same.

That is a solid point.

I am looking forward to a nice rest and then I will be back to fight.

Is what Manny said after he was cleared at the hospital.

What about Morales

The Morales that negotiated for pac to use more padded gloves in the first fight and then got k.o'ed in the rematch and quit in the third? JMM fought tougher, bigger, primed pacman 4 times and ko'ed him cold.

[TitoFan]

Pac's not even 34 yet, so no need to retire 'cause of age. However, we've seen Pac on a gradual decline, to the point where it's been speculated whether his heart is still in it. He gave it a good go last night, but Marquez just has his number. If Pac wants to continue for the right reasons, no reason for him to retire. But if he's not 100% into it, he could end up getting hurt worse.

This has to be one of the weakest thread titles of all time by the way.

Yeah its a tough call. He had a Ct scan and everything was ok. He was stopped cold early in his career also. I could not believe how well he handled the first kd

[Pavlik]

I just dont want to see Manny end up having brain damage...

[killersheep]

At the bare minimum he needs to take some time off. Let him focus on family and politics. He really has nothing else to prove as a fighter.

[Kirkland Laing]

He's definitely fighting again. See his reaction after the first knockdown. Embarrasment more than anything. I think he really really wants a rematch. He was outboxing Marquez and was faster and he can just box for twelve rounds, keep his chin out of harm's way and get a win. I think there's more chance of Marquez retiring now than Manny.

He should retire. He's had only 1 known concussion and it was last night with the knockout. After having 1 concussion you're more susceptible to more concussions. WHich means he's now more susceptible to knockouts which basically are concussions. Unless he wants to start developing this. He should quit now. Same thing goes for JMM in that he should also consider retirement. Being in too many long hard boxing wars isn't good for your head and 15-20% of boxers develop CTE.
