Pac and undefeated fights.

Add Thurman to the list.

Manny has nothing to prove anymore.

Just retire.

I would not mind if he retires Khan first and then maybe just go all out against Spence/Crawford.

He can’t beat them. Why would he walk into an almost sure KO loss? He’s been offered the Crawford fight for years, he knows. Putting him in with those guys is just mean. They aren’t Thurman

Thurman was undefeated but I wouldn’t say he was in his prime.

On which side of his peak would you say he's on? Not disagreeing (well... yes, really)..... just curious. Still hasn't gotten there? Or past it?

Past it, his best was when he beat Porter and Garcia.

I think he could be at his peak without his huge layoff but I think everyone saw that he didn’t look great against Lopez. I’m not saying he would or wouldn’t have beaten Pacquiao a few years ago, but I think he was a better fighter 3 years ago when he was more active.

The layoff is definitely a factor. While being worn out by too many wars is bad...... being inactive for such a long time during your peak years is probably nearly as bad. Yes, he looked horrible against Lopez. It's what had a lot of people giving Manny more of a chance to beat him. Logically Manny should not have been able to do that. Then again Manny defied the odds when he went up all those weight classes and took out some great fighters.

So I'm thinking he's at his physical peak..... but that peak has become a bit blunted by the inactivity.
