Pacquiao To Retire in 2007?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Arman Armero, of the Manila Standard Today, reports that Filipino icon Manny Pacquaio may retire as early as 2007. [details]

Might as well. With the Dollars he makes, he'd be a frikken gazillionaire in the Philippines.

Not bad...retire while your on top...I would like him to first demolish and send Morales and Barrera to their retirements.Then fight Chico so he can be a 4-division champ if he wins..Maybe insert a couple of tune-ups in between but yes, early retirement is logical move. ;P

Not bad...retire while your on top...

For once.

Sick and tired of all these old ex-champions scrabbling around for pay days, living off their past glories. Would be so refreshing for someone to win their titles and end on a high. I'm getting tired of seeing my former heroes getting humiliated against fighters they would've walked through in their prime.

Except when it's funny. Like Evander Holyfield.

ah i see them coming now... the pac haters. an excuse for them to call pac a ***** and how he only wants to fight past-their-prime boxers and not upcoming ones

but 2007 might be too early. after EM, he can have 3 more next yr, MAB, Juarez and one lightweight fight. but assuming he wins them all, its enough to be a shoo-in for HOF and probably alltime p4p list.

This is sad. Hopefully he whoops Morales, fights Barrera again and ends his career, then maybe takes on Barrios or Freitas to end his career.

I want to see Pac fight Marquez before he retires.

[Bonafide]

I dont want him to retire. Cant he wait till 2009 ? he's only 27 ??? At least retire at 30!

[DiegoFuego]

I want to see Pac fight Marquez before he retires.

man **** Marquez. that piece of **** has been reduced to fighting Turdsacs. I'll be pissed if he ever gets a big fight again.

I'd like to see him beat one of the big names at 135 then retire. So that could definately happen before the end of 2007
