If he is retiring in a year,he best prepare well because h has to fight MAB,Em and JMM and if Valero is ready by the end of the year,he can take a few black eyes with him!! Naa,if the man wants to retire and as sad as I would be,I would respect his decision,because his level of competition in comparison to other so called P4P number 1 guys has been extraordinary and he has given us so many thrills,wether you like him or not,he's exciting and has been good for boxing.(I'm saying this and I'm a Morales fan!) I respect whatever Manny does.
