At 39, his family and friends asked Pacquiao to give up boxing, even his former coach, the famous "Hall of Fame" Freddie Roach, advised him to leave after falling with the # Australian Jeff Horn a year ago
40 years old? A second consecutive defeat, this time against the dangerous Argentine of the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, could force Pacquiao to definitely move away from boxing.
But a triumph for the only boxer who won the world title in eight different weight categories – in a 23-year career, 59-7-2, 38 by KO-, I'd give him the credit to expand his career beyond 40, which he meets in December.
"I'm not saying that it's the last one, but it will be the basis for thinking about the prosecution or not," Pacquiao told AFP during his training camp.
Pac-Man coach Justin Fortune believes the world will once again see "old Pacquiao" and silence those who question his body's ability to fight against the best.
Pacquiao continues his 60th win in Kuala Lumpur since joining the professionals in 1995 but, since winning 38 of his first 47 fights by knockout, he has not achieved of knockout over the last 9 years.
"He looks like old Pacquiao, his metabolism is spectacular, he's a monster," added Fortune about the boxer, also a senator in the Philippines, who someday dreams of presiding over the country.
Matthysse (39-4, 36 by KO) said his admiration for one of the greatest fighters "pound for pound" in history, but he recalled this week that his goal is to take the belt in South America.
