Cant box elite welters again i dont think. If he loses el presednte' race hecould box again but really needs to swing some things in his favor. My guess is he is retired, but you never know.

Manny vs Ryan garcia, Tank, Loma, teo, floyd II, mikey garcia, or mcgregor could all work. But for fucks sake please not spence.

He should retire now. Being outclassed in an expectedly close fight is a sign. He should retire before he gets battered in such bouts. It's important to time retirements well. Right now it's a perfect moment.

He came out with the “leg cramp” excuses for his loss to Ugas.

If he doesn’t need the money, expect him to engage in an easy farewell bout against a faded has-been, such as an Amir Khan type opponent, or a YouTuber/MMA fighter etc.

If he needs the money, he’ll try to fight Spence or Crawford.

I don’t think there’s any money or any point him exercising the immediate rematch clause against Ugas, because the Cuban doesn’t bring much revenue and Manny will lose again.

McGregor always sells, but he’s not as popular as he once was.

Two faded legends in their respective sport that are much closer to their primes than Tyson-Jones Jr.

I hope not.

He isn't totally shot, but he is boxing from memory these days.

He's a shoo-in for the hall-of-fame and is already an ATG, whether he fights again or not.

There's no sense in sticking around in order to be a name on someone else's record.

With so many big dogs at 147, he'll never be a champion again, unless the WBA invent yet another trinket for him, so best to let sleeping dogs lie.

If Manny needs the money to partially fund his election campaign or to pay off some debt, then he'll fight again.

If he can receive a huge payday engaging in a novelty fight against a YouTuber or someone from MMA, then he'll do that.

If not, he'll chase Crawford and Spence Jr.

I doubt Manny will exercise his rematch clause for the Ugas fight, because it won't pay him a lot of money. He's clearly not interested in avenging losses.
