@greynotsoold Agreed from early in his career JMM showed tremendous skills and the mind of a tactician who fights using his brain... I agree I don't want to see him go out on a bad note. I hope he uses that brain to know when it's time.

Well shit he just beat p4pking by ko...he's not close to done yet. I give him a good few more years if he's dedicated. We all know it takes alot more once you get up in age.
@No Contest "a few more years" fuuuuuuuuuhhhhh I was thinking a few more fights.
I've got a feeling Rios is next. I would hate to see him try 147 again and I know Guerrero has talked about wanting to fight JMM.
Also if Garcia get's past Zab that's another possible opponent.

@Althugz I agree my man...

I remember the sentiment before their 3rd fight. People felt Manny had improved way too much and he was going to run over JMM that time around. JMM fought a spectacular fight and got robbed. Great to see him FINALLY get the big win he deserves.
Indeed JMM has been counted out not only by Team Pac but by many observers...

@Spicoli spot on my dude...

JMM deserves praise for his victory, Pac was sparked out for 2 minuets I feel that's the end of the road for him.
I don't think it's the end of Pac. I think he needs to focus and decide what he really wants to do with his life...

I said it some years back his skill set and ring generalship is a thing of beauty.
Easily the greatest counter puncher ever...
