The retirement of Manny Pacquiao has not fallen by surprise , but he has left a void in boxing. Several fighters have spoken about the Filipino’s decision. “Canelo” Álvarez considered that it was time for him to hang up his gloves , but Julio César Chávez questions the decision of “Pac-Man”.
“ I don’t know if he has already retired. I don’t think, I think he’s going to fight again ”, declared Julio César Chávez in a statement to Little Giant Boxing .
On the other hand, the “Great Mexican Champion” did not hide his words of idolatry before the great trajectory of Manny Pacquiao within boxing.
“ He left a legacy difficult to match. He is a great fighter and especially as a human being it is incredible. He has a shitload of fights that I like. All of Pacquiao’s fights were exciting and spectacular , ”said Chávez.
Both fighters have had great expressions of admiration. Even Manny Pacquiao had assured in an interview that saved some VHS with fights of the “César del Boxeo” . In this sense, the Aztec sent him a message for the withdrawal of “Pac-Man”.
“ Manny Pacquiao I Love you too much. I love a Chingo ”, he expressed with a laugh.
The Filipino retires from the ring with a record of 68 wins, 8 losses and 2 draws . Pacquiao will focus all his attention on the fight for the presidency of the Philippines, one of his greatest challenges outside the ring.
