Manny Pacquiao, after returning, suddenly took fifth place in the welterweight by WBC

Published

It is good to be a legendary warrior. Manny Pacquiao, the cult Master of the Eight Division, was included in the fifth welterweight in the world by the World Boxing Council. Probable reason? The fact that Pacquiao can get out of a pension to face the current WBC WBC WEGi Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas. Although apparently there will be no official press conference only 20 this month, Pacquiao talked about returning, it was more likely that WBC’s ruling, but also the fact that Pacquiao recently lost the election in his Filipino homeland.

WBC Honcho Mauricio Sulaiman stated following social media: “Remember @Sugarrayleonard ? My father Jose Sulaiman and WBC were criticized for the fact that the fight against Hagler @Mannnypacquiao He was licensed by Nevada and passed all medical, and as the legendary WBC champion he was approved to fight by our organization Let’s Talk on July 20. “If this fight really happens, expect that all stops will be withdrawn.

And why wouldn’t it be? Pacquiao was not only one of the most renowned and popular athletes in the world for almost a decade, but he was an extraordinary warrior. Pacquiao, an explosively aggressive Pugilist with unlimited energy, had a ring style that delighted boxing fans, and even those who were usually selfless in sweet science. His SUPERFIGHT from Floyd Mayweather from 2015 broke viewership and recruitment. And although he lost this fight, Pacquiao was still one of the most popular characters in sport. His victory of Keith Thurman in 2019 was a moment of Hallmark in a delayed career.

The fight with Thurman, however, fell almost six years ago. Pacquiao aged then. How much older will look or should he decide on a ride from Barrios this summer? Although the qualified Barrios are not considered one of the higher state-of-the-art fighters, it will still be sixteen years younger than Pacquiao, if two men actually drop. What’s more, Barrios only lost to Gervont Davis and Keith Thurman, two high -level fighters who were much younger when they stood in the face of Barrios than Pacquiao could expect. Still, there is Pacquiao, we say. In sport, in which no one can be counted, it is wise to avoid writing this man, in particular – no matter how close to fifty he is now.

I hope that no one will be hurt if this fight actually drops.

Or “Pac Man” breaking the record of the great George?

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?

“It’s a marathon,” says Shakur Stevenson as Bolt fans: Longevity over entertainment in Rin boxing

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.
