Boxing-I still have two or three years left, says Pacquiao

Comment:

I don't think he has anything left if he lose to Rios in their upcoming fight. Win convincingly and we'll closer to a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight.

Get knocked out again and we are closer to "PACQUIAO for PRESIDENT".

Pacquiao - I still have two or three years left

Eight-weight world champion Manny Pacquiao believes he has two or three years of fighting left before he quits the sport and still retains the hope of securing a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

 But he will step back in the ring after an extended break on Nov. 24 to take on American Brandon Rios for a first fight in Macau, keen to re-establish himself as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the sport.

Pacquiao spent Tuesday sparring six rounds with long time sparring partner Ray Beltran and Russian Ruslan Provodnikov, who began sparring with the Filipino earlier this year.

Top Rank's chief Bob Arum was at the Wild Card Gym, watching the sparring session.
