Am I the only one that thinks he should just retire?
If he isn't going for kovalev again then he should just call it a day or even run to cruiserweight.
What more has he got to offer?

Well he clearly wont fight Kova again, nor should he. As long as he steers clear of him and Ward I think he could be some kind of player, Id still give him a shot to beat Stevenson for example, in what is such a logical fight to make, they both fight out of the same city ffs. Stevenson dodged that one too by all accounts, that guy is such a fraud of a champion.
I loved how Kov didn't pull any punches even after the fight
Don't really see the point and long road back after two destructions at the hands of Kovalev. I thought he was dabbling in training guys?
Pascal has unfinished local business with Bute and Stevenson.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I wouldn't mind seeing him in there against Ward. He's just unorthodox enough and powerful enough that he may give Ward problems. Ward got away with a lot of grappling against Kovalev, which basically neutralized a lot of Kov's strengths. I'm not 100% sure he'd be able to do that with Pascal.
Even Hopkins was able to tie up Pascal and wear him out on the inside, when he didn't want any part of trying that against Kova. Pascal(used to) get inside very quickly, but he didn't stay there to any effect. Ward is physically stronger than he might look and I wouldn't be too interested seeing that one.
Didn't realize he has a fight in couple of weeks. But just on face of it Ward picking a Pascal as optional falls flat as he was just twice destroyed by the man many don't even think Ward beat in the first place. Pascal has had a tough run of 3 in a row but how he isn't ranked top ten by alphabet boys is hard to believe I don't even know what a 'Shefat Isufi' is but I'd bet insulting street lingo before a bet a top ten boxer.

why should he retire?
he's right up there and in the peak of his life and could still make lots and lots of money
retiring would be very daft
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
If hes looking to earn, He can still do that. Just avoid the big punchers and high work rate fighters (i think yunieski gonzalez might be able to beat him better than the first time if they rematched now that kovalev has put a few cracks in that chin) So he trains and they give him a fight vs ward before his stock drops anymore... so they can draw comparisons to kovalev and hype the rematch. This raises wards stock in the Canelo price out pissing match that wards side is about to instigate over the percentages.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

He's a big ticket seller. He can potentially have a few more paydays and maybe get some kind of a title fight at some point for some beltholder who doesn't sell tickets. You're a long time retired and most of these guys aren't exactly brilliant at investing their money.
