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

Amir Khan says that the 46 -year -old manny Pacquiao should not face the WBC WBC HEADE Master Mario Barrios in his fight for the return of July 19. Khan believes that this is a “challenging fight” for Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KO) due to his age and inactivity and because he fights with much younger 29-year-old Barrios (29-2-1, 19 KO). 38 -year -old Khan suggests that Pacquiao should fight Barrio instead, because then the clash would be more equal because both are in retirement.

WBC attracted Heat this week with a decision about the inactive pacquiao ranking No. 5 in welterweight. He has not fought from 2021, and his last win was in 2019. Fans perceive this as a crime so that WBC will give Pacquiao ranking No. 5 after four years of inaction and losing to Yordenis Ugas. Manny took the performance of Rohan Polanco and Eimantas Stanionis. These two warriors would probably destroy what was left of Pacquiao.

“Barrios” deserves “?

“This is a fantastic fight for Mario, it needs a great fight. Will receive a good payment And fighting a legend such as Manny Pacquiao, “said Amir Khan Sky sports boxing Pacquiao is fighting for Mario Barrios.

Barrios will earn a lot of money and he may even lose. In his last fight with Abel, Ramirez looked infernal and was never an impressive warrior. His losses from Gervonta Davis and Rustict Keith Thurman showed that he is below the average.

“Mario deserves this fight because every warrior wants this great day. I don’t know how much manny remained in him,” said Khan. “If they were at the top, at the top, I would say Many Pacquiao all day. But it could be a challenging fight for Pacquiao.”

I don’t know about Barrio deserving to fight Pacquiao. Where in his career Mario did something special that makes him deserve a gigantic payment against the former world champion with the eighth Pacquiao? Barrios’s CV is quite empty.

Barriosa wins the best

– Yordenis Ugas – 37 at that time, bringing a knockout loss with Errol Spence
– Botirzhon Akhmedov
– Fabian Maidana
– Devis Boschiero
– Santiago

Barrios is a textbook definition of a paper master. He was raised to his status WBC Wytetreteright Waklethight, and then fought with a dubious draw against the journeyman Abel Ramos in a fight, which according to fans should lose. Now he is going to fight Pacquiao. Khan says that Barrios deserves Pacman’s fight, but I don’t see him deserve anything other than deprived.

Khan’s first move?

“I am sure that he will want to win this fight because it can change his life,” said Khan about Barrios. “If I advised Manny, I wouldn’t say to come back. You should go back to someone who is already retired, someone like me.”

Pay attention to Khan’s selfish tactic in the fact that he puts his own name in Pacquiao lottery. Khan should be elated with Barrios that he will get such a great payment against the still popular retired 46-year-old Pacquiao, instead of trying to justify him fighting him. Khan’s impoverished results at the end of his career make him not suitable for Pacquiao. Before retiring, he lost two of the last three fights. Pacquiao has nothing to get from the fight with Khan because he is looking for world titles to add to his heritage. The fight against the washed 38-year-old Khan, who has not fought since 2022.
