Will Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr retire first?

Over the last few weeks, both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr have each talked about retirement. Yet, both of their "retirement talks" are mired in speculations and uncertainty.

Floyd Jr announced that he was going to take 1-2 years off and the entire boxing universe immediately suffered from one massive 'brain freeze'. Do we believe him or is this typical Floyd nonsense? Well, there's a split in the fan's opinions on whether Floyd Jr will retire or not. To make things even more perplexing are the comments from Uncles Roger and Jeff Mayweather.
