Manny Pacquiao is getting some career advice from one of the most famous Filipino's alive -- the lead singer of the rock band Journey ... who tells TMZ Sports it's for Pacman to officially hang 'em up.
Arnel Pineda -- who's been the frontman of the group since 2007 -- was out in NYC when he told us Manny has nothing left to prove.
"I think he needs to retire," Pineda said ... "He's on top."
"He's conquered the world."
There are rumors Manny could get back in the ring one last time to fight Floyd Mayweather in a super match .
