Will six world champions of the Manny division “Pac Man” Pacquiao, at the age of 46, break the former heavyweight champion “BIG” George Foreman, who won the world championship title at the age of 45?

The current world champion of WBC WWETreight Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, 29-2-1, from San Antonio in Texas, negotiates the defense of the title against Pacquiao in June or July.

Barrios had his last defense in November 2024, ending with a divided draw with Abel Ramos, 28-6-2, at the AT&T stadium, Arlington, Texas. It was also the previous fight for Ramos. What seemed to be a rematch did not develop.

The last fight of Pacquiao took place in August 2021, losing to Yordenis Ugas, 26-4, in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. In September 2023, UGA lost to Barrios for the ephemeral title of WBC World Welter Wweight on T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, and Nevada.

Foreman, then 72-4, still has a record as the oldest to win the title of world champion at the age of 45, knocking out the world heavyweight champion IBF Michael “Double M” Moorer, 35-0, in MGM Grand, Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The only other boxer who won the title of world champion at the age of 40 or more was “Ruby” Bob Fitzsimmons at the age of 40. He defeated George Gardner, 38-4-3, over 20 rounds, at Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco in California.

Will “Pac Man” become the third, not only to win the title of world champion over 40, but the oldest at the age of 46?

Shakur Stevenson has published today in social media, revealing his career philosophy: “It’s a marathon; The longevity counts.“He talks about his career and why he decides to play safely, using a striking style. His post suggests that he focuses on a long career, not being hit, even if it means monotonous and indefinite.

You don’t have to watch

The style is poison for fans, and Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) is one of the most obligatory fighters in sport.

Stevenson’s comment on “longevity”, promoted by the match, means that he adopts a long approach to his career. To do this, it must reduce the risk to almost zero to avoid shots that could slowly exhaust it. Using his first security style applies to this philosophy.

Turks Alalshikh and his promoters already pay him millions. It does not matter that his fights are monotonous, constant and much less fascinating to watch than the fights of other fighters who are not paid as much as he did. He was paid despite his failure.

Shakur claims that he won three world division titles, which means he is a great warrior. But by throwing featherlight at warriors, which Shakur defeated to win belts, many of the 10 best fighters at 126, 130 and 135 could beat the warriors from whom he captured the titles.

Three-Division of Stevenson titles

– Edwin de los Santos – WBC Lightweight
– Jamel Herring – WBO Super Feather Wweight
– Oscar Valdez – WBC and Ring Super Feather Wweight
– Joet Gonzalez – WBO Feather Wweight

Starting?

Stevenson will defend his featherlight WBC title against William Zepedie on July 12 in Up-to-date York. Social media fans hope that Shakur will not run away from him in battle. However, one of Stevenson’s trainers said last week that he “takes off the round to protect his hands.” This is not what fans want to hear.

This means that Shakur will move a lot. Considering that this is an event that Edgar Berlanga vs. headline Hamzah Sheeraz will be shown on PPV, upset fans that Stevenson will move all night.

It’s a marathon, longevity is all critical

“The event of the Riyadh season may land in five potential locations in Recent York, Los Angeles or Las Vegas,” Ring Magazine published on X.

UNLV is to be hosted by Idaho at the Allegian stadium on September 13.

There was no reason to change the date and place. But White recently told Carlos Legaspi from ESPN Deportes that he “hates” the idea of ​​Alvarez-Crawford events at the stadium instead of in the arena.

“When they say that we promote it, I conduct a promotion, production, OPS event, [public relations]Everything is related to the fight like the UFC fight, “said White at the weekend. – At the same time promoting UFC Noche. It will be the same weekend. “

In addition to changing the date and place, the fight will now be available in Pay-Per-View, not a streaming in an alternative transmission option.
