Manny Pacquiao is out of retirement and has some big names in mind.<\/p>\n

‘PacMan’ has been out of action since a showdown with Yordenis Ugas<\/a> last August. The bout was a short-notice one for the Cuban. Pacquiao was previously slated to face Errol Spence Jr., but he was forced to withdraw due to injury.<\/p>\n

Last August, the boxing legend came up short by unanimous decision. Following the defeat, Pacquiao announced his intentions to retire. Not too long after, the 43-year-old revealed his plans to run for president of the Philippines. The longtime senator wound up garnering just 6.81% of the national vote in May, coming in third place.<\/p>\n

Currently, Manny Pacquiao is set to face DK Yoo this weekend in an exhibition matchup. However, in a recent interview with FightHype<\/em>, the former champion revealed he’s eager to get out of retirement. Along with that, he has a couple of names in mind.<\/p>\n

Ideally, the boxing legend would face Terence Crawford<\/a>, or Errol Spence Jr. next. Both men are at the top of 147 pounds, and Pacquiao would like to face either one in his comeback fight.<\/p>\n

\"Yordenis-Ugas-Manny-Pacquiao\"<\/p>\n

“I’m eager to fight with them because, I want to test them, see if they’re really a champion,” stated Pacquaio to FightHype<\/em><\/a>. “I’ve been fighting a lot of boxers at 147, 140, 135, I’ve been fighting all of the greatest boxers in the world. So, I want to test them.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “Yeah [I’m surprised Crawford and Spence Jr. haven’t fought yet], I don’t know the reason. But, I’m still here. Even though I was retired for more than a year, I keep on working and playing basketball, workout almost every day.”<\/p>\n

In the event that Manny Pacquiao exits his retirement, it’ll be the second time he’s done so. Following a decision win over Timothy Bradley in their 2016 trilogy, the former champion retired. He wound up un-retiring later that year.<\/p>\n
